| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe during the year |
charity | Due to the Covid pandemic the Kenyan government mandated that schools should be closed for much ofthe year. Grade 4 pupils returned late Autumn, with all others returning in January 2021. |
in | |||||||||
| Throughout the period when the school was closed we continued to |
pay | |||||||||||
| our teachers and provide lessons to our pupils in small groups in the |
||||||||||||
| community, but not in the school buildings. |
||||||||||||
| This allowed us to maintain engagement with our school community, |
||||||||||||
| keeping the children involved in education and supporting the people |
||||||||||||
| involved in caring for the children. This also provided the opportunity |
to | |||||||||||
| distribute much needed food and provide instruction on good hygiene |
to | |||||||||||
| protect against virus transmission. |
||||||||||||
| Emergency funds were issued to help prepare the school to be compliant |
||||||||||||
| with the Kenyan Ministry of Education requirements for Covid mitigation |
||||||||||||
| when the school reopened. | ||||||||||||
| Further investments were made in maintaining and repairing our |
||||||||||||
| infrastructure, including building additional toilet blocks. |
||||||||||||
| We were also able to facilitate Samwel Manda, our key stakeholder |
in | |||||||||||
| Kenya, moving to the Nyiera area in order to provide more effective |
||||||||||||
| mana ement ofour arran ements in Ken a. |
||||||||||||
| The Trustees recognise that funds received (income) will vary greatly | on | |||||||||||
| Briefstatement | ofthe | a month by month (and yearly) basis as such a significant proportion |
is | |||||||||
| charity's | policy | on reserves | generated from one-off events. As such Soma Leo will continue to build |
|||||||||
| and hold short term reserves to cover known or anticipated future |
||||||||||||
| expenditure, which may include one-off costs for building development |
||||||||||||
| work. We have no policy on building and holding reserves beyond this |
||||||||||||
| approach to establish reserves in order to afford desirable future |
||||||||||||
| expenditure that adds to the public benefit. |
||||||||||||
| Significant reserves established in 2019were used in part to off-set the |
||||||||||||
| lack of fundraisin events and activit durin 2020 due to Covid-19. |
