You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

Our main source of funds are regular donations to our scholarship scheme, (as well as regular donations to the rice, medical and general funds) and fundraising. We are thankful to our generous donors that allow us to carry out our mission in Sierra Leone.

Section F

Other optional information

In March 2020 the charity took steps, in line with government advice, to help contain the nationwide outbreak of COVID-19. The charity has had to change how it operates by suspending trustee and management visits to Sierra Leone and passing the day to day running of projects to our volunteers in Sierra Leone. The Trustees are in regular contact with the volunteers in Sierra Leone, providing support and receiving regular project updates.

All planned visits to Sierra Leone by UK volunteers have been put on hold. The charity has been able to continue some of its activities using on-line media, including holding trustee meetings and remotely overseeing the projects in Sierra Leone. All of our projects are continuing to run in Sierra Leone and the beneficiaries have been unaffected by the changes to our way of operating. To date there has been no significant impact on net income. Nonetheless the trustees are continuing to monitor income and expenditure closely and, if it becomes necessary, will take measures to mitigate any financial impact
