Helping Hands for Education, Charity Number 1162358 Annual Report: April 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024 

Helping Hands for Education was approved as a Charitable Incorporated Organization in June 2015 by the Charity Commission under the charity number 1162358. It is governed by a constitution last updated in May 2015. 

## Organisational Structure 

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees meet as a body on an ad hoc basis and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the charity, 

including the recruitment and appointment of any new trustees and any capital expenditure. 

## Objectives 

The charity’s key aims and objectives are to advance the education of children and adults living in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria, through the provision of: 

i) A public library specializing in educational books with a particular focus on English, Arabic, Islamic Studies, Mathematics, the Sciences, Information Technology and general works of reference. 

ii) Classroom facilities and equipment, including access to information technology for the general public. 



iii) Such support to local schools as shall be thought fit, including furnishings, facilities, equipment and staff training to improve educational standards; and 

iv) Grants or scholarships to students under the age of 20 for educational fees, courses and equipment as shall be deemed appropriate. 

Strategies and Activities 

During the 2023-24 financial year, we were able to raise enough funds to make significant progress on our project. We saw the successful completion of the construction of the walls and roof of the Library and Learning Resource Centre and the installation of the windows and doors to make the building watertight and secure. In addition, an external gate was erected and the height of the boundary walls surrounding the compound, thereby enhancing the site security. 

The next stage of the project is to raise sufficient funds to lay the terrazzo flooring, to complete the internal walls and ceiling, as well as to undertake the plumbing and wiring works. 

To this end, we intend to redouble our fundraising efforts to realise these aims, God willing.
