The Kenya-based committee of trustees currently includes two teachers and a student representative (a graduate of the TWCT sponsorship programme) and it aims to meet four times a year (using Zoom as necessary) to oversee the programme and to check the accounts. 

This committee of trustees is responsible for assessing any new student referrals for the sponsorship programme.  The ongoing plan is to take on up to five new students a year. 

In Q4 2022 a Programme Coordinator, Julia Wanjiru Mwai, was appointed on a 4-year contract predominantly to help manage the evaluation process for new students, to proactively visit each student to check on their progress, as well as to manage ongoing elements of the programme. 

- Committee members are available to mentor/counsel the students at any time.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

Activities during 2022 relating to the charity’s main objectives: 

## **(a) the advancement of the education of persons in East Africa:** 

This year the charity sponsored 27 secondary school and further education students needing financial assistance, as identified by the Diocese, giving the individuals the skills and possibilities to progress further with their education and chosen career. 

Students had their annual celebration and teambuilding event at the Maya Resort Centre in December 2022 which involved some helpful group sessions. 


The newly appointed Programme Coordinator visited a number of the sponsored students during November 2022 to check in with them on their progress and help encourage them in their ongoing studies. 

The Timothy Wells Charitable Trust Alumni programme, launched to the students at the Mentorship Day in April 2021, has continued to build an ongoing link with those students who have benefitted from the sponsorship of the Trust and to give them an opportunity to continue to be part of the Trust. 

## **(b) the relief of poverty, hardship and distress worldwide, and in particular amongst persons throughout the world who are persecuted for their Christian faith and persons in East Africa:** 

In 2018 the local accountant for the TWCT in Kenya opened a ‘Cooperative Finance System’ that the TWCT pays regular contributions to.  Local people can borrow money from the account and pay it back with a low interest rate.  Any profit on the account is returned to the Trust. We are continuing to make payments into the Cooperative Finance System in order to support the local Kenyan community. 

The cooperative tea farm sited in the Kirinyaga Diocese on ¾ acre of land purchased by the Timothy Wells Charitable Trust in 2016 continues to be managed with student participation. There are now approximately 500 tea plants, and this brings in some income as well as providing a good opportunity for self-development, teamwork and bonding especially during the school holidays.  The new Programme Coordinator, Julia
