Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We are slowly recovering from the scourge of the pandemic. Our focus has been mainly on updating our website and building our online presence. We are gradually expanding our volunteer mentor database. We have achieved modest success in attracting qualified volunteers in African universities.
We have been able to attract new volunteer coordinators and projects assistants and interns to support our effort without cost to us. All our activities were ran by our volunteer team, which means we do not have overhead cost.

Further financial review details (Optional information)

how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
We did not fundraise for this financial year. Because of this we did not run 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.
