AGE6 OUR THEORY OF CHANGE We believe every community has the gifts and skills it needs to improve the health and wellbeing of all its members. We know local leaders care abour their communities and Vnt to improve health and wellbeing. IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES TOGETHER However, local leaders in vulnerable communities are often working in isolation and have minimal resources. Also, in a world of fake news, the best evidence based ways of working often don't reach the community level. Together these factor5 make it very hard to create sustainable change in health and wellbeing at a community level. OUR VISION is co see health and wellbeing In communities around the world continually improving. OUR is to be a global neNork which CONNECTS and SUPPORTS local leaders who are working to improve M ISS ION the health and wellbeing of their own communities We are a global network formed of individu21 members and organisations Clusters connect local leaders together united eiiher by a geographical location or 2 shared cheme Webinars. coachlng and a range of online resources provide global connection, opportunities for developmenc and more tailored suppor( SALT vislts to Other memb•rs are encouraged and facilitated in order co increase connection and support.

IAGE 8 STORIES OF SUPPORT Close to our heart as a Network is supporting our Clusters to impact their communities. This year we met in person with local community leaders, shared resources on community health and development. and supported community leaders who formed new Clusters in differenc regions in Africa. Here are some small but significant examples of our work this year. More stories can be found on our website." arukahnetwork.orglblog FILLING THE ECONOMIC GAP The Ekari Cluster in Malawi was launched earller this year. In a poverty scricken area with no access to farm markets, they decided to restore the self-confidence of the community and develop resilience against economic challenges by forniing a farmers co-operative. With 137 members, the co- operative 15 not only improving access to markets but creating employment opportunlties as well. THREE NEW CLUSTERS! Thi5 year. a local leader from The Democratic Republic of Congo reached out to Robins Odiyo from the Support team. After a series of conversations. Robins took a crip to the DRC and together, they launched three new Clusters. LEADERSHIP GATHERING Seven Cluster leaders from six countries Africa met In Nairobi. Kenya to share about their work and collaborate on ideas and creative ways to grow chemselves and the work of Arukah. It was a wonderful cime of learning from each other. forging partnerships and looking ahead.
PAGE 9 FINANCIAL REVIEW The bulk of our charitable expenditure is spent on the cost of facilitation. training and supporting our Clusters. Last year's budget showed an underspend due ro the impact of the pandemic on our planned work. particularly in the area of Cluster Support Travel and Monitoring and Evaluation, supported by a significant grant from the Vitol Foundation. With perniission from the Vrtol Foundation, we carried the remaining grant into this financial year. This means that we are showing an accounting deficit for our accounts endingjuly 2023, shown on the next page, but in reality we have been spending cash carried over from the previous year. We are extremely grnteful for the support we receive from a number of trusts including the Golden Scable Charltsble Trus¢ the Ogle TrusL the Vitol Foundation and the Mar5hgate Trust. We are also extremely grateful to the individuals who give both regularly and one off donations towards the work of our Net*vork. Having reviewed the current financial situation and our reserves, the trustees believe that Arukah Network will continue for the foreseeable future as a going concem. We do noc hold any debts and maintsin reserves for at least 3 months of normal operations.
