Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

For the public benefit to advance the education (including academic, social skills and ethical training) of young talents (under the age of 25) in Africa in such ways as the charity trustees think fit. We identify these young talents in Africa and mentor them to realise their potential and become effective leaders who contribute to their communities.

Our primary focus is mentoring. We provide mentors for our students who inspire, guide and support them to make the right decisions for their future. Another major activity is organising summer camps for our students and providing opportunity for networking. Participation in all activities is free for selected students.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We restricted student selection in the past year to only Ghana. Our focus has been mainly on updating our website and building our online presence.

We continue to attract new volunteer mentors during the year to support the mentorship scheme. We continue to make effort to expand our mentorship database to include qualified mentors in African universities.

We have been able to attract volunteer coordinators and projects assistants and interns for countries we operate in without cost to us. All our activities were ran by our volunteer team, which means we do not have overhead cost.

Section E Financial review

March 2012

TAR

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The policy on our reserves is to keep in our bank account to earn interest.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

We did not incur any deficit during the year

Further financial review details (Optional information)

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

the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

We did not fundraise for this financial year. We have suspended our annual summer camp this year. Our main focus has been on mentoring.

We continue to rely on our volunteer coordinators to run our activities, and these dedicated individuals provide their services and expertise at no cost to our charity.

We do not have any major asset. We operate from a small, dedicated

space provided by the director in Cambridge at no cost to us. We considered this a good choice as we have given that we are only a small charity.
