Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The relief and assistance of residents and occupants of Dadaab camp in Kenya through: • Advancement of education for young people by enabling the provision of distance learning courses. • Facilitating access to healthcare for young people by the funding of transport to local medical professionals and the cost of treatment. • Provision of shelter for disabled people by commissioning the building of suitable shelters using local providers. All assistance given will be regardless of refugee’s background, race, gender or religion.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	By the generosity of its donors, HELP Dadaab provided one hundred and ninety five Diploma courses for students in Dadaab refugee camp . We ensured that the recipients were diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity and nationality. The Diploma courses were purchased from Cambridge International College The distance learning courses are provided by Cambridge International College (CIC) whose qualifications are recognised worldwide. We have established a close relationship with CIC and work with them to support the students with their courses and their examinations. 91 students from the 2021 intake gained awards (although 12 received a fail grade and there were a number of Papers which were not sat - absentees - or graded). As well as our work in the refugee camps, we've been assisting ten schools in the Dadaab area. We have funded teacher’s salaries and provided textbooks and learning materials. This year we continued to fund a Kenyan youth to continue his education and attend High School.

		We also sponsored 75 students to attend Integrated High School. Of these, 50 were refugees and 25 were Kenyan nationals. We purchased text books in Nairobi and donated them to five schools in Dadaab area. The charities founder, Abdi Khalif, travelled to Kenya in the summer to invigilate the student’s exams and to meet UNHCR and camp elders and local government officials to explain our work and to understand the requirements of the communities. In partnership with the charity Angels Welfare Trust, we distributed food to 300 families in Dadaab refugee camps and to the local host communities.
