The trustees PTesenl their report and the independently examined financial statements of the
charity tor the year Lnded 31 Dccember 2025, which are alqD prepared to me¢t the
rcquir¢m¢nis tor a dirc¢lors' r¢pori and accounts for Companios Acl purposes.
The financial scatements comply with d]e Charities Aci 2011, the Companies Act 2006. the
Memorandum and Articles of Association. and Accounting and Reporting by CILgrities:
Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AIYD ACTIVITIES
The Charity's objects are..
(a) the relief andlor prevention of poverty in such ways as the Trustees may see fit-
(b) to adNance the C11stIan faith in such ways as the Trustees may see fit.
Just Earth's main focus is to benefit those living and working in Kenya, and more recently in
the Democratic Republic of Congo via a partner programme. The focus is on farmers and
individuals from rural fv'illages, to improve their farming methods and help set up small
businesses, thereby helping alleviate poverty in their communities and provide a sustainable
income.
It works in partnership with local churches to help people follow Jesus in a way that
empowLr% them economically, in a rclational context that build% communit! and enqures
considLration is given to dcvelop enl'ironmentsl 8afe&Juarding teehniquLs to hclp build
susts]inable futures.
Our vision is for a world where local churches lead their communities into the fullness of life
in Christ.
The charity focuses on four key outcomes: Economic Empowern]eiit, Spiritual Forn]ation,
Environmental Sustainability and Soclal Transformation.
Economic Empowerment
A school without Th'alls in which fanners learn better farn]ing techniques to enable thern to
achieve higher yields, rnore diversified crops and better income in order to improve their
livelihoods. Farmers undergo an intensii'e and practical two-year programme in Farmer Field
Schools (FFS} of up to 36 farmers each. The curriculum is established and co-ordinated by
our Director of Agronomy and delivered b! qualified agricultural facilitators, who attend the
FFS every week. The course content comprises of modules in cropllivestock production, agri-
business, soil and land management, climate change mitigation and adaptation with emphasis
on organic farniing, value chain development and nutrition among others. Each trained
farmer reaches out, on average, to 4 neighbours through farmer-to-farnier extension.
Page13
Spirttual Formation
The Kingydom Life Bible Study enables biblical teachingJ '1th daily agFricultural, family, and
community" pra¢ti¢es. ThrougJhout the two year FFS cycle, famiers are facilitated to consider
thL Chriqtian faith, values, and character, fostcring rcspon.%ible stcwardship, integrity..
compassion, and servant leadership. Practical ¢xprossions or raiih are ¢mphasi£cd, including
praying for healing and blessing for their families and communities.
Soeial Transforniation
This involves encouraging school attendance, orphan and widow care as well as nutrition and
food safety. Improved farni productivity aiid income enable households to acliieve food and
nutrition security, access better healtli care and housing. support children's education. and
live with restored dignity. Produce from demonstration plots supports vulnerable meinbers of
the community. particularly widows and orphans.
Environmental Sustainability
We focus on household-level climate change adaptation and mitigation through tree planting,
reclarnation of degraded land, soil and water conservation, and the adoption of organic and
climate-smart farming practices. The approach promotes crop diversification and responsible
land and livestock management to enhance biodiversity, protect natural resources, and ensure
long-term environmental sustainabilitv.
MAJOR OUTCOMES
The ¢harity"s major outcomes for 2025 in Kenya are-
14 New FFS w¢r¢ commissioned with a total m¢mb¢rship ot 585 a¢tiv¢
members across Anglican Chllreh of Kenya dioceses in Western Kenya, bringing the
total number ot operational FFS to 23.
3,594 direet household members benefited from the program, and 14J76
community members were reached indirectly through famier-to-fam]er extension
(averaging 4 Iieighbours per trained farmer).
Graduation of 233 farmers across 11 FFS who successfully completed tlieir learniiig
cycle.
Training of 24 new FFS facilitators and completion of 4 Kingdom Life workshops.
Deployment of the new pastoral FFS in Samuli, where the field school was
established as part of the regional footprint for the year.
11 Field Days conducted, which were attended by an aggregate of 2,152
participants, allowing local communities to visit demonstration plots and learn from
JE famiers.
Page14
4 Monitoring and Evaluation field I'isits successfully carried out (in March, June,
July, and October) to oversee plot establishment, training, and documentation.
51,119 trees planted by FFS members duringT the year.
Pre-training completed for 2026 %chools, su¢¢¢ssfully reaching 634 pro$pe¢tiv¢
f*rm¢rs across upcoming parish¢s.
FFS Fanners earned a combined total ot KES 39,189,055 Irom the sale of erops and
livestockjlivestock produets.
Continued exploration and strategic visioning for expanding the JE FFS framework,
highlighting a major inflection poiiit as the model looks to scale up in Kenya and
expand its outreach to other countries.
We continue to be very grateful to our many partners for generously supportingJ the work of
Juql Earth. Thiq WOTk eon%i%tcntly lil'iq thL Tr'ery poor and vulnerable out ot. extremc poverty in
a holistic manner and giv¢s ihom boih dignity and life ¢hoi¢¢s for ih¢ir families ihal Ihey could
not oiherwise access.
Maize Production and Yield Trends
Baseline data Th'as collected froni each farmer prior to intervention to facilitate tracking of
changes in yields, enabling a detailed assessrnent of tlie impact of tlie FFS learning program.
Year l FFS Pcrformancc: Baseline data indicated that participating farmers initially
produced 180.1 metric tonnes of maize from 246 acres, equivalent to an average yield
of 0.73 metric tonnes per acre. After one year of FFS learning, reinforced by timely
access to certified seed provided by Just Earth, production increased to 344.5 metric
tonnes 0er 266 acres, achieving an averagTe yield of approximately 1.3 metric
tonnes per acrc.
Year 2 FFS Perform#n¢e: GraduatingJ Year 2 farrners recorded a baseline of131.6
metri¢ tonnes of maiz¢ cultivated over 189 acres (0.7 m¢lric tonncs p¢r acre). After
two years of %tru¢tur¢d l¢aming, total production inerea8Ld to 275.2 metri¢
tonnes cultivated over fewer acres (165 acre4), r¢suliinbJ in an improvLd averag¢
yield of 1.67 metrie tonnes per aere.
This represents a substantial gain in land-use etficiency for graduating schools..
Total Production: More than doubled (trom 131.6 to 275.2 metric tonnes).
Yield Per Acre: Increased by 138.60/. (from 0.73 to 1.67 metric tonnes per acre).
Land Under Cultivation: Decreased by 12.70/0, indicating significantly improved
productivity per unit area.
Page15
Income from Crop Sales and Livestock
The evidence of crop diversification continues to grow. overcomingT traditional over-reliance
on niaize and providing, better overall nutrition. Farmers earned a total of KES
21,482,700 from the sale of Crop produce (includin&J maize, beans. millet, sorgyhum. ¢assav
Iri%h potato¢s, sweet potalocs. and assortcd vegLtable8). The program dcmon.%tratiDn plots
also servod as a sourc¢ ol"qualily planling inal¢rials: supplying higyh-yielding sweel polalo
vines and disease-free cassava cuttings trom the bulking plot at the Bishop Muge Avocado
Farm.
Furthem]ore, training on livestock production techniques (covering housing, feeding,
breeding, and disease control for dairy, sheep, goats, chicken, pigs. and beekeeping) has
heavily contributed to mixed fanning systems. c.rop residues are utilized as fodder, while
livestock manure remains key to organic crop famiing and environmental sustainability.
Income from the sale of livestock and livestock products (cattle, milk, sheep. goats, chickens,
eggs, and honey) amounted to KES 17296,855. bringing total on-farni earnings to KES
39,189,055.

Environmental Sustainability
This pillar remains viLql in promoting environmental resilience through the adoption of
climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies at the t.ann leN'el, which grows more
urgent as cliinate volatility becomes increasingly pronounced. Farn]ers are trained in land
management techniques, organic fanning, soil erosion control, and are encouraged to
establish and maintain a minimum of 25 trees annually (including at least 5 fruit trees).
Climate Change Adaptation Strategies
Implementation of conservation practices 15 routinely monitored by facilitators to ensure
technical backstopping. The aggregate adoption rates across the program areas illustrate high
technology transfer..

Tree Planting
A total of 51,119 trees Th'ere planted by FFS members in 2025, bringing the cumulative total
number of trees planted through Jiist Earth interventions to date to 262,167. The agro-forestry
nurseries established in Year I plots continue to successfully distribute seedlings to farnlers
for baseline farm expansion.
So¢i#l Tr#nsforni#tion
Randomized fami.judging and documentation was ¢ondu¢ted a¢ro%.% 62 farms belonging to
Year 2 FFS cohorts to evalu&te technology transler and document transforn]ation at the
Iiousehold level. Livelihood improvemeiils are visible in enhanced employment creation,
tood safety, household asset accumulation, and community suppori systems.
Highlighted Sueeess Stories from the 2025 Farni Visits
Vietor Otieno (Emmanuel Chemelil FFS, Maseno East): Aged 42, Victor achieved
full-time fami employment b! integrating apiculture, poultry. horticulture: and
aquaculture. He manages l O Langstroth hives )'ielding l 00 kg of honey annually,
marketed directly at his farm gate. He has established 200 trees on his fann,
facilitated 2,000 more in his community, and cultiN'ates improved fodder species to
sell to neighbours.
Everl} ne Chepkemboi (Canaan Eshikulu FFS, Maseno North): Aged 26.
Everlyne transformed her smallholding into a mixed dairy and crop enterprise. Using
FFS insights on feed formulation and value addition. she processes milk into )'ogurt
and mala (fermented milk) for direct sale, reinvesting the profits into an intensive,
zero-grazing sheep production venture.
Regina Tinjaa (Mwangaza Lelan FFS, Kapenguria}: AgTed 40, Regsina managJes a
7-acre mixed fclrnl g7roiwingi rnaize, be(Ins, putcltoes, bananas, and pa55ion fruit. She
maintains 4 dairy cows and 21 O trees, utilizingy Compost and terra¢ing. Her fami
profits enabled her to build a pern]anent brick home and install a river-linked water
pumping) sygL'm.

Spiritual Formation
Spiritual formation remains a core domain of the JE model. working in direct partnership
ith local churches. Church leaders tacililale the King,dorn Life Bible study to foster
responsible stewardship, integJrity, and community cohesion. In 2025, 9i°/o of the local
vie*r8 %UCC¢%Stully facilitated the deliv¢rv of thc training, and mcasurable %piritual
Iransfomialions wer¢ do¢uin¢nl¢d with t¢stimoniLs of r¢lationships r¢¢on¢il¢d and physical
healings experienced.
Demonstration Plot Ineome and Utilization
Local church leaders ensured that 50 /0 of the income generated from the sale of crops on
demoiistration plots was used to support orphans, widows. elderly individuals. and N'ulnerable
community inembers. Across the dioceses of Kitale, Eldoret. Kapenguria, Maseno East, and
Maseno North, a toLql of KES 293,758 from demonstration plot sales was utilized for
community social support, including paying secondary school fees for needy students and
providing relief to disabled or vulnerable families.
In-country Sustainability: Bishop Muge Avocado Farm
We continue to manage the strategic avocado plantation on the l O-acre site at the Bishop
Muge Centre in Kitale. on land supplied rent-free under contract by the Diocese of Kitale.
The plantation is now in its third year of development. It is our objective that this avocado
farm can provide income across man> decades to help support the farn] school programmes.
We are in year 3 and the trees are just beginning to bear fruit for haTrest.
Orchard Management & Apiary Development
Agronomir Pra¢ti¢es: Desmodium was extensively established as a live mulch
aTound the avocado plant canopie% to reduLe moisturc 1088 and enhance organic 8011
fLrlility. The fam]'s ilgation infrastruelure was lully ulili£cd lo protLCt the orchard
during the intense dry spells encountered during the first quarter ot the year.
Apiari, Expansion: In July 2025, fifty concrete beehives were installed on-site in
partnership ..Ith Mr. Bee Company (Nairobi) to enhance natural pollination and
establish an independent honey production enterprise. Six hives acliieved rapid,
successful colonization withiii the first few months.
Climatic Conditions and Crop Progress
The latter half of the year recorded unusuall! high rainfall and persistent wet. cold weather
across the Kitale region. This sloived the fruit maturation process and delaj'ed avocado
fruition. However, the farm remains very well-tended. and the directors are focused on
ensuring a robust, expanded harvest in 2026 as the trees approach productivity ages.
Challenges Faced
No work of this nature is free from difficulty and navigating environmental and operational
hurdles prol'ides vital learning points for refining our implementation model. Key challenges
addressed in 2025 include:
Page18
Climatic F.xtrenies: The yeaT opened with a prolongTed drought and higJh
temperatures acr055 all operational areas. dela!ingJ rainfall until late M(irchlearly
April, which disrupted early production planning. Mid-yeaT then brougJht seN'ere
raintall and flash floods that left rural access roads impassable, particularly in the Mt.
Elgon region.
Input Transitions: we have been moving away from expensive fertilizer to high-
quality eoinposling. This is more effort, but cost-effective and better for the
environment- it requires good communication by the facilitators to have good buy-in
to this approach.
Recruitment Thresholds: Maintaining high operational standards required rigorous
recruitnient tilters. For example. duriiig tlie 2026 pre-training sessions: Chepchoina
Parish (Kitale Diocese) fell short of the minimum group threshold after drawiiig onl},
l O fam]ers, meaning a school could not be formally commissioned there.
Overall we are very grateful lor a year of a strong and flourishin&J t¢ain across all lay¢rs ot"th¢
charity. We give thanks for this blessing.
FUTURE PLANS
Just Earth is at a clear inflection point. Following many years of delivering faithful, verifiable
results in Western Kenya. a season of strategic scale-up is arriving. alongside a broader
outreach to other countries.
Our focus going into 2026 includes further codifying our educational and spiritual offerings,
buildingT Strong regional partnerships, and initiating a pilot program in Sierra Leone. while
expanding growing programs in the Democratic Republic of Cong70 (DRC). We remain
imrnensely gsrateful to our Church, Trust and individual partners whose gFenerous support has
enabled us so far. We will require gFreater funding to deliver all the opportunity now open to
us.
FINANCIAL REVIEW

## **JUST EARTH LIMITED**
## **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Just Earth**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust") for the year ended 31st December 2025.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of
- Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **1.3 Expenditure**
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Raising Funds represents expenditure incurred in motivating the individual supporters, trusts and other organisations to contribute to the work of the charity.
Charitable activities represents those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance represents those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs including support costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on the activity.
Support costs are those costs which do not in themselves constitute an activity, instead they enable output creating activities to be undertaken. The cost category includes the central or regional office functions such as general management, human resources and payroll administration, budgeting and accounting, and information technology.
## **1.4 Fund accounting**
The charity maintains various types of funds as follows:
General unrestricted funds represent income which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds represent income set aside by the trustees out of general unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or projects.
Restricted funds represent income to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which has been raised by the charity for particular purposes.
