beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a

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.|

## **Independent examiners report to the trustees of Champion Chanzige** .
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:
1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. 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.
