The organisation carries out the following activities in support of its purposes:
- The trustees organise events to raise awareness of and to fundraise for the charity.
- The trustees also assist other supporters both individuals and organisations such as schools and businesses to similarly raise funds by giving presentations at or provide communications materials for these events.
**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 organisation has supported the setting up of a mirror charitable organisation with its own board of trustees in Zimbabwe to enable operational activities and decisions to be more effectively overseen from a governance perspective. This is particularly important given the political climate in Zimbabwe and the prevalence of corruption. We must ensure that any grant monies that are provided to the centre go directly to it and to the benefit of the children who attend the centre and their families rather than rely on individuals to carry out this role.
- The organisation reviews the priorities of the centre through communication with both the centre and the charity trust board in Zimbabwe. These priorities are ranked by the trustees and a number of funding grants have been made by the organisation to the centre via the Zimbabwean trustee board. A project justification is completed including financials and evidence of impact which is then reviewed and either approved or rejected by the UK organisation’s trustees
- The organisation also directly provides equipment to the centre through shipments or via visits by the trustees to Zimbabwe.
- In pursuance of their activities and responsibilities as trustees, the trustees have full regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.

## Section D Achievements and performance
During the financial year 2023-24, communication with the trustees in **Summary of the main** Zimbabwe and staff at the centre was maintained despite a level of **achievements of the charity** political instability in Zimbabwe prior to and post elections held in August **during the year** 2023 The Centre has re-opened on a regular basis following extending periods of closure during and after Covid. As a result, the opportunity to make grants has become possible once more. The funding set aside for 202324 grant allocation to provide support parcels to families to address the impact of economic hardship and food shortages in Zimbabwe was released as planned in this financial year. Around 40 families (an increase over previous years) supported by the Centre have been provided with food and other household essentials as well as underwear, nappies and sanitary wear.
