Section C: Summary of Objectives and Activities
To advance education: to advance in life, help and relieve the needs of children and
young people, and to prevent and relieve children and young people in poverty in
particular but not exclusively by providing funds and by supporting project5 for children

aged 6- 13 and young people aged 14- 25 living in Nsanje and Chikwawa districts in
Southern Malawi and Kingtom, BawBaw, and Waterloo Communities in Freetown Sierra
Leone.
During the period 12 August 2024 to 11 August 2025, we have raised funds for the
charity through regular payments £1910, one-off receipts of £1681 and through groups
of people, Sutton Methodist Church £401. We were also awarded a grant of £1675 from
The Methodist Central Hall London for relief in Malawi. This amounted to a total of
£5668.
We sent £1845 for school fees for the children in Malawi and £1675 for relief.
In Sierra Leone the chlldren and young people have benefited as SACTS paid School fees
£1530, £896 was sent for relief, post-school courses £285 and £IOOO was used to build
water well.
Bank charges were £68, and £27 was used for administration on the website.
SACTS Trustees are encouraged to note that many of the children enrolled in the
sponsorship programmes in Sierra Leone and Malawi are now approaching the
completion of their secondary education. The progress and transformation evident in
these young people's lives, made possible through the generoslty and continued
commitment of donors, provide a strong affirmation of the charity's work. Such support
has enabled access to education and opportunity, demonstrating the tangible and lasting
Impact of collective goodwill.
In Malawi, the education system has largely stabilised following earlier disruptions caused
by security issues in the run-up to the election. However, the Trustees remain mindful of
the ongoing effects of the high cost of living, poverty, and the impact of climate change
on education provision, parhcularly in the southern region of the country. Over the
reporting period, climate-related challenges, including severe weather events, have
continued to affect schools and local communities. Regular updates from volunteers on
the ground highlight the risks posed by these conditions. While the charity has limited
capacity to influence such environmental factors directly, the Trustees note the
importance of effettive contingency planning by government authorities and school
administrations to ensure the safety and continuity of education for children and pupils.
The Trustees are further encouraged by the steady academic progress reported among
sponsored pupils and reaffirm their ongoing commitment to supporting their educational

journeys, notwithstanding the challenges faced. Through sustained partnership,
oversight, and donor engagement, the charity continues to make a meaningful and
Positive contribution to the lives of children and young people in Sierra Leone and
Malawi.
SACTS covers school-related expenses for children through Charitable Community
Organisations in Malawi and Sierra Leone, as parents are required to pay some of these
charges in these countries. We hope that by creating broader horizons for the children,
their own experience will be enhanced, and their aspirations raised, so the worth to their
country can be enhanced too.
Section D: Achievements and Performance
During the reporting period, the charity raised £5668 through regular donations and
fundraising activities, including speaking engagernents. These funds enabled the charity
to continue and strengthen its core charitable activities.
Financial support was pmvided to volunteers in Sierra Leone and Malawi to renew the
registration of local community-based organisations. These organisations now serve as
the formal structures through which the charity coordinates and delivers its work in both
countries, thereby strengthening governance, accountability, and local ownership of
projects.
Work to develop boreholes to provide access to clean, safe water in Malawi and Sierra
Leone is ongoing. The work on the borehole project in Bawbaw is nearing completion.
Further funding is required to complete the remaining borehole work in Malawi, and
efforts to secure additional resources are ongoing.
Section E: Financial Review
We hold unrestricted funds of £3378 in the bank. The cash fund is held to meet any
unforeseen expenditure that may occur. We aim to hold £3000 in reserves at the
year-end.
SACTS continues to fulfil its charitable mandate to support the education and welfare of
children in Malawi and Sierra Leone. The charity provides financial assistance to meet
essential needs, including access to education, nutrition. and basic healthcare. Through
these interventions, meaningful progress has been made in improving the lives of

children and their wider communities.
During the year under review. the charity observed measurable improvements in
educational outcomes. School attendance among supported pupils increased. and
examination pass rates rose compared with the previous year. These developments
reflect the positive impact of sustained support and effective programme delivery. The
Trustees remain committed to building on these achievements in order to secure
long~term benefits for current pupils and future generations.
A number of pupils successfully completed their senior secondary education during the
reporting period and have progressed to university level. Where appropriate, these
students have been signposted to other charities and non-governmental organisations
that specialise in supporting access to higher education. The number of pupils enrolled in
the Basic and Direct Sponsorship programmes remains in line with expectations, following
the identification of children who meet the charity's established criteria for support. The
Trustees are encouraged by the steady academic and personal pro8res5 being made by
puplls across all programmes.
In addition, the SACTS Learn to Read and Read to Learn project in southern Malawi has
continued to deliver positive outcomes. Through this initiative. children are able to
borrow books. take them home. and engage in independent reading. They subsequently
return the books and share their reflections with peers and teachers, helping to foster a
culture of literacy and learning within schools and communities. This programme has
proven to be highly effective in improving reading skills and nurturing a sustained
enthusiasm for learning among participatin8 children.
