Para 1.20 | Demolition and complete rebuilding of the main dormitory house at Kisarawe Orphanage. This was the largest project ever undertaken by the charity as it involved removal of the existing building (which was in a poor state of repair), site clearance and rebuilding from scratch. The new house accommodates over 50 children in a secure and modern environment including access to indoor showers and toilets. This is regarded as transformative for the lives of the children. Construction of a fresh water well at Mwanzo Mgumu Primary School. The well provides water for drinking, cooking, cleaning and hand washing. Access to water is also hugely beneficial in the school’s kitchen garden. Construction of a kitchen garden at Kisarawe Orphanage. This provides food for the children at the orphanage and also an income for the sale of any surplus. It also gives the children an opportunity to develop useful life skills. Facilitated a student group visit to Kisarawe to interact with children at local schools and orphanage. The students assisted with the establishment of the Orphanage kitchen garden. |

I report to the trustee on my examination of the accounts of Champion Chanzige for the year 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of the report.
As the charity trustees of the trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trusts Accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)b of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any respect:
-
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with those records.
I have looked through the accounts, checking all statements, payment receipts and all other material proof of how the accounts are kept.
I have seen copies of trustee’s minutes from any meeting that had occurred during the relevant period.
I have seen proof of past and present projects and have seen proof of where and how the funds are being spent.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
