The Charity develops and works with other organisations with similar objectives and goals, and operate within the global sphere of human and social development, education and alleviation of poverty through social and economic empowerment.

Though working primarily in Sierra Leone and the UK, the charity also seeks collaborative partnerships outside of these regions, especially with other organisations with similar objectives promoting the Christian faith, alleviating poverty, education, child protection and safeguarding.

The Charity also works closely with local and international organisations in Sierra Leone to deliver its objectives, as this has been an effective and cost saving approach which enables the charity to reach more people and have more impact.

We have continued to work closely with the British High Commission (SL) Operation Orphan in the UK, Elim Swanley (UK) and Amigoes de Sierra Leona (in Spain).

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The relief and/or prevention of poverty in particular (but not exclusively) in Africa

The advancement of education in particular (but not exclusively) in the United Kingdom and Africa; and

The advancement of the Christian faith.

When planning our activities, the Charity has taken into account the Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit, in particular the guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

This reporting period has seen many changes for the charity in that it has established through the Government of Sierra Leone a Senior Secondary School, which has significantly reduced the financial burden in terms of education and also introduced an inclusive approach to higher education and ACCESS to education. The charity continues to employ an active approach to contact tracing and during this reporting year was able to reunite 2 children with families in their respective communities.

Whilst the COVID -19 pandemic has been eradicated in Sierra Leone, the charity continues to engage with health organisations to maintain preventative measures and strict public health guidelines. The effect of the pandemic and economic downturn has drastically affected the charity’s resources and ability to expand its operations. The charity has mainly focused on delivering its current commitments to ensure credibility and adherence to its objectives.

Home Church was has grown and has now been given space to fellowship at the school premises which encourages evangelical activities and outreach.

The charity also continues to see an increase in school enrolments in Sierra Leone, and whilst effective community work in UK schools has reduced due to unavailability of volunteers, the charity has maintained close ties with its Elim roots and church affiliations.

No volunteers were able to visit the charity’s work in Sierra Leone; however regular updates and on-ground work from one of Charity’s trustees have ensured Charity’s objectives are ongoing.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Our volunteers are members of the public who are passionate individuals from all walks of life, and who want to be involved in building their communities and other nations outside their immediate influence.

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;

Volunteers are unpaid (except for expenses where applicable), and we are proud of their invaluable contribution to our work; however as stated above none were able to visit the Charity’s project during this reporting period.

We do not currently operate as a grant-making organisation as this is not part of our objectives or constitution, and this remains the case for the foreseeable future.
