| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | • The complete renovation of 3 classrooms at Mwanzo Mgumu primary school has transformed the learning environment for the children attending the school. Prior to the work, the classrooms were in a poor state of repair and potentially unsafe. • The kitchen garden established at Mwanzo Mgumu primary school has provided a source of food for the school, a source of income when selling excess produce and life skills for some of the children. • The continued provision of menstrual hygiene workshops has encouraged girls to continue school attendance uninterrupted and has provided locally produced washable sanitary towels. • Provision of text books and uniform to 50 children from lower income families in order that they can attend school – it is likely these children would not have attended school without this assistance. • The Kisaware orphanage is in a poor state of repair and work was undertaken to improve conditions for the disadvantaged residents. • The 2 groups from the UK undertook various structured activities in local schools and the orphanage to help broaden the children’s experience and encourage alternative teaching methods where appropriate. |
