The Charity has been focusing on core areas of Disaster Relief, Education, and Health.
## **Tanjung 3 Junior High School - North Lombok, Indonesia**
The SMPN 3 Tanjung project aimed to upgrade essential learning infrastructure at a junior high school in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Due to outdated and inadequate facilities, the school had been unable to accommodate increasing student numbers, creating challenges in both safety and educational quality.
In collaboration with Child’s Dream and Classroom of Hope, and with community involvement, the project successfully constructed:
- Four new classrooms furnished with desks, chairs, whiteboards, and storage cabinets
- Two new toilet units and two handwashing stations
Construction was completed in April 2024, enabling a safer, more spacious, and hygienic learning environment for hundreds of students. The upgraded facilities now support the school’s ability to deliver quality education, reduce overcrowding, and ensure better health outcomes through improved sanitation.
This project aligns with AOKC’s commitment to creating long-term educational impact through safe infrastructure and local partnerships.
## **Education Village – Mae Sot, Thailand**
In partnership with Child’s Dream and the Education for Friendship Foundation (EFF), AOKC contributed to the completion of Phase 1 of the Education Village in Mae Sot, Thailand — a purpose-built campus designed to serve the growing needs of Myanmar migrant and refugee youth fleeing conflict, poverty, and instability.
The project centralised three of EFF’s educational programmes into one integrated compound, improving learning environments, administrative efficiency, and student safety. It directly supports over 580 migrant and refugee students, many of whom previously studied in low-resource settings or makeshift learning centres.
Completed in June 2024, and officially inaugurated in July, the new Education Village Phase 1 includes:
- 13 fully equipped classrooms
- 12 toilets
- A library, computer lab, and multi-purpose hall
- Two boarding houses for 40 vulnerable students
- A kitchen and dining hall
- A playground for nursery students
- Infrastructure improvements such as a paved road, boundary fencing, and three-phase
electricity
The initiative reflects AOKC’s commitment to expanding access to quality education for marginalised populations across Southeast Asia. In consolidating the three EFF programmes into one campus, this project enhances not only capacity and sustainability but also creates a more stable and secure environment for learning and personal development
## **Nongkapang Primary School – Laos (In Progress)**
In 2024, AOKC committed funding toward the urgent reconstruction of Nongkapang Primary School in Savannakhet Province, Lao PDR, in partnership with Child’s Dream. This underserved village school, originally built by the local community in the 1960s, had deteriorated severely due to termite damage and structural decay, posing significant safety risks to its 112 students and 5 teachers.
Construction began in June 2024 and is scheduled for completion in January 2025. Once finished, the new 336 m² facility will include:
- Five fully-furnished classrooms
- One teacher’s room
- Four modern toilets
- A kitchen
The project also includes robust community involvement: local builders and residents contribute labour, resources, and ongoing maintenance efforts, fostering local ownership and sustainability. The Lao government continues to provide teacher salaries and training, further ensuring long-term viability.
By funding this rebuild, AOKC supports equitable education access in one of Southeast Asia’s poorest regions and helps create a safer, more inspiring learning environment for future generations.

||The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
● examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
● to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
● to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently
no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my
attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe
that in, any material respect:
● the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130
of the Charities Act; or
● the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
● the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements
concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement
that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter
considered as part of an independent examination.|||
I 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.
