In this financial year, two trustees visited the projects in Panjab. They reported that the nursery is running very well, and the staff and children have the financial support they need to run a safe and educational environment for the children.
The trustees identified another project in need of support. A woman named Kiran Kaur runs GuruKripa Boutique in Dhandoi Ada, and she teaches local girls how to stitch garments. She supports the poorer girls who are not able to afford the fee to train with her, so we bought her two new sewing machines to continue running this project, and to be able to help more people that need her training support.
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)
The trustees also met Jashan Kaur from village Muradpur. She had completed her 12+ (A levels) but her parents did not have the money to pay her fee for further studies at the college. She stayed home for a year after finishing school. The foundation decided to finance her further education fees for three years, in computer application BSE. Further details to follow in next year’s report.
This year, the foundation financially supported Gursimranjit Singh from Village Mirize Ke with a health related matter. Gursimranjit required a kidney transplant (his mother donated a kidney) and we donated £950 to pay for his surgery fees.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We are still very happy with the construction of the nursery building which happened a couple of years ago. This is an incredible achievement for the charity and will make a world of difference for the children who will attend. It was great to have two trustees visit Panjab this year to see how the projects are going and identify new areas of support. Pawan Kaur from village Dhandoi is still in the midst of her three year Bachelors in Commerce degree from University of Amritsar. Pawan has really developed her confidence and is enjoying her studies. The payments for Pawandeep’s education this year was made by AS Khera, and they are likely to be reimnursed to him in the next financial year.
