CEO
Rising Costs in Ghana - Real Challenges Strong Local Solutions
As we look back on this year, I want to share a clear and positive
update on our work in Ghana and the realities we are navigating
here in the UK. Despite rising costs and a challenging funding
climate, our charity continues to move forward with determination,
innovation, and deep community partnership.

UK Charity Sector- Tough Climate, Strong Public Trust
In the UK, the charity sector continues to face what NCVO calls a "big squeeze" rising operational costs,
reduced government funding, and increased competition for grants.
Government contributions have fallen from 30% to 26% of sector income, tightening available
opportunities.
At the same time, the UK has four million fewer regular donors than in 2019.
Even so, there is real encouragemenL
Public trust in charities remains high at 57%, giving us a strong foundation to build upon.
Our Strengths- What Sets Us Apart
Deep Community Partnership in Ghana
One of our greatest advantages is our strong relationship with local communities.
Our Ghana project team negotiates fair and realistic prices, mobilises community volunteers, and
ensures local ownership giving us a powerful edge over organisations that lack such embedded local
structures.
During our June 2025 trip, we saw the results of this f irst-hand. The community proudly showed us
how they are sustaining and maintaining the projects themselves a testament to their ownership,
commitment, and belief in the work we do together.
Growing Social Media - A Strategic Priority
This year has also been one of significant digital growth. Social media has become essential to our
mission it allows us to raise awareness, reach new supporters, share real-time progress from Ghana,
and strengthen fundraising at a time when every pound matters.
A huge part of this success is thanks to Sumillion, who supported us with a marketing apprentice. Their
apprentice has shown remarkable growth, skill development, and creativity, and has transformed how
we communicate our work. We are truly grateful for this partnership.
Given the success and momentum we've seen, social media growth will remain a key strategic focus
for us moving forward. It has become one of our most effective tools for amplifying community voices
and building long-term support.

Looking Ahead With Optimism
Despite rising costs and a competitive funding landscape, our mission remains strong. Our
community-led approach, dedicated volunteers, growing digital presence, and committed supporters
give us every reason to move into the rest of the year with conf idence.
Thank you for standing with us together. we continue to build lasting change in Ghana.
With Gratitude
I want to extend heartfelt thanks to all our volunteers, fundraisers, and trustees. A special thank you to
Sumillion for their unwavering support through volunteering, social media, fundraising, and financial
contributions. Your partnership has been instrumental in our growth.
Also special thanks to:
The William Leech Charity for a £5,000 grant for toilet facilities.
Travers Smith for a £1500 donation to repair a toilet in a special needs school.
.The Coles-medlcok Foundation for a grant of £5,000 for our vocational seamstress project.
Souter charitable trust for a grant of £3,000 for our vocational seamstress work.

Jayne Bristow - Chief Executive

As Chair of To Live in H.O.P.E., l am honoured to reflect on a year that has tested many charities,
including our own, yet has strengthened our purpose, sharpened our focus, and deepened our
commitment to the communities we serve.
This past year in Ghana has brought sustained financial pressure. Rising production costs have
affected families, businesses, and development organisations alike. Producer price inflation reached
27.6% year-on-year in February 2025, increasing the cost of materials and essential goods across the
country. Construction related expenses also stayed high, with 9.7% year on year inflation for building
inputs recorded in September 2025, alongside labour cost increases that directly impact inf rastructure
projects. Everyday market prices remain elevated due to ongoing supply chain ineff iciencies, affecting
households and community projects across rural areas.
Here in the UK, the voluntary sector has continued to feel the effects rising operational costs and
increasing competition for grants. Reduced government funding falling f rom 300A to 260/0 of sector
income has intensif led this pressure further with more competition in Trusts and Grants this coupled
with four million fewer regular donors than in 2019, the charity landscape has demanded new levels of
creativity and resilience f rom organisations across the country.
Despite this challenging environment, To Live in H.O.P.E has remained steadfast and forward looking.
What stands out most to me is not the diff iculty of the year, but the clarity of our direction and the
strength of our model.
Our work remains deeply anchored in the communities we serve. The partnership between our Ghana
project team and local volunteers continues to be one of our greatest advantages. Their ability to
negotiate fair pricing, mobilise community support, and sustain the projects long after installation is
what ensures our work has lasting impact. During our visit in June 2025, it was particularly inspiring to
see community members proudly showing how they are maintaining and safeguarding each project a
true reflection of shared ownership and long-term commitment.
We have also made important strides in communication and outreach. This year, our social media
presence grew signif icantly, strengthening our ability to share impact, raise awareness, and engage
new supporters. Or development in social has been and we have notably improved the way we
communicate our mission and successes.
As Chair, I remain focused on ensuring that our governance remains strong, our strategy remains
community led, and our use of funds remains transparent and responsible. We are preparing for the
future with ambition, and with an unwavering belief in the communities we walk alongside.
Looking ahead, we have a number of promising project ideas under development. With the dedication
of our volunteers, trustees, partners, and supporters, l am conf ident that we will continue to grow our
reach, deepen our impact, and build on the strong foundations laid this year.
Thank you for your continued support. It is your belief in our mission that makes every step of this work
possible.
David Manners - Chair, To Live in H.O.P.E.

Ision, Mission, Priorities
and Values
Strategic Plan 2025-2028
Empowering Self-suff iciency
We envision a Ghana where poverty is not a destiny but a barrier that can be overcome. By equipping
individuals with practical skills, tools, and small-business support, we help unlock entrepreneurial
potential and inspire long-term f inancial independence.
Every child deserve5 the chance to
learn, grow. and dream. Yet our 2025
field visits revealed a Stark reality-
Every school we vislted urgently
needed laptops, with teachers
explaining that pupils were learning
Computing entirely from the
blackboard due to a lack of equipment.
This mirrors national evidence
showing..
Only 2Yo of deprived basic schools
in Ghana have a functioning ICT
lab.
Only15Yo of public primary schools
and 13Yo of public junior schools
have functional ICT facilities.
In some districts. pupils prepare for
I￿ exams without ever using a
computer.
Digital access is no longer optional it is
foundational for learning. exams.
employability, and opportunity. Our
vision includes ensuring rural children
have basic learning tools. from
textbooks to digital devices. so that
education becomes a genuine
pathway out of poverty.
Access to clean water and safe
sanitation is essential for dignity and
survival. Our projects reduce
waterborne illness, improve infant
survival, and strengthen community
health. These are not just services
they are lifelines.

Empowering Women and changing lives.
Our vocational training projects for women have been one of our greatest successes. At our most
recent opening, 300 girls applied for just 15 places a powerful demonstration of both the demand
and the hope these programmes inspire. This overwhelming response conf irms what our Ghana
team tells us every day: young women are eager for skills, opportunity, and the chance to shape their
futures.
Supporting these women is not only life-changing for them it transforms whole communities. When
a woman gains a skill, launches a business, or becomes f inancially independent, she becomes a role
model, a leader, and a voice of conf idence and change. Empowered women break the cycle of
poverty, ensure their children can attend school, and strengthen the social fabric of their
communities.
Because of this, expanding our vocational programmes will be a priority. We are committed to
increasing access, reaching more girls, and providing the training, mentorship, and support they
need to build dignified, sustainable livelihoods. Empowering women empowers generations.
Combating Hunger
No child should go to bed hungry. We continue to support vulnerable families with nutrition
initiatives so that hunger never becomes a barrier to health, learning, or hope.

A Highlighted Need: Sanitation in Asiwa
(Bosome Freho District)
During our 2025 assessments, our Ghana team identif led a critical need in Asiwa, where
approximately 4,000 people lack access to safe sanitation.
National data reinforces the severity of rural sanitation gaps: only17.7% of rural households use basic
household toilets, and rural open defecation remains widespread.
This lack of sanitation is directly affecting school attendances pecially for girls during menstruation.
Studies show that inadequate WASH facilities. including lack of private toilets, significantly increase
girls, absenteeism in Ghana.
A safe toilet block in Asiwa is not simply an infrastructure project-it is an essential intervention for:
Health
Girls, education and menstrual dignity
Community safety and public wellbeing
It will be one of our highest priorities.

Digital Growth: A New
Strategic Focus
A Promise for the Future
Our visit also highlighted how the digital divide
is widening, holding rural children back. With
Ghanaian reports confirming that deprived
schools overwhelmingly lack ICT facilities,
electricity, and equipment, the need for laptops
and basic I￿ access has become central to our
vision. Supporting digital learning will become a
key development area in our strategic plan for
2025-2028
This strategic plan is more than a roadmap it is a
promise.
A promise to listen.
A promise to act.
A promise to stand with the people of Ghana and build a future
where hope is not just imagined, but lived.

ACHIVEMENTS AND
PERFORMANCE 2025
+iaiki
Restoring Safe Water Access in 2025
In 2025, we were also able to step in and support the repair of two community wells that had
developed serious mechanical failures with their pumps. While the community teams regularly
maintain these wells and handle minor repairs themselves a testament to the success of our
community-led sustainability model these particular issues were beyond what they could address
alone. The breakdowns left families without reliable access to clean water, posing immediate risks to
health and daily life.
By intervening quickly. providing technical expertise, and sourcing the necessary parts, we were able
to restore safe, dependable water to the affected communities. This work reinforced the strength of
our partnership approach: communities lead and maintain. and we step in only when deeper, more
complex support is needed. Together, we ensured that no family was left without one of life's most
essentia I resources.

Building Brighter Futures: Twedie Library & ICT Centre Project
We are incredibly proud of the progress made on the Twedie Library & ICT Centre, located in the
Atwima Kwanwoma District of Ashanti, Ghana. What began as a vision has now taken physical shape:
the majority of the groundwork and structural build is complete, and the community can already see
this transformational project coming to life.
This modern library and ICT centre has been designed to provide students and community members
with essential learning materials, digital tools, and a dedicated space to build skills,
confidence, and opportunity.
Why This Project Matters
Educational inequality remains one of the biggest barriers facing rural Ghana. According to regional
development data, only 220A of students pass the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECEI a
crucial milestone required to progress to senior high school, limiting future pathways for thousands of
young people in the region.
The Twedie Library & ICT Centre is our response: a space where students can access books, computers,
digital learning resources, and a safe environment to study. It is more than a building it is a catalyst for
change.
Who Will Benefit
Once completed, this centre will serve:
4,913 students across Twedie and surrounding schools
Over 21,982 community members f rom Twedie, Foase, Yabi, Agogo, and Boko
A total of more than 26,895 people will benef it f rom access to reading resources, ICT facilities, study
spaces, and skills-building support
This will be one of the largest educational resources in the district, offering life-changing opportunities
for generations.
Progress and Current Funding Challenges
While we are proud of the signif icant progress so far, rising construction and material costs across
Ghana have left us short of the funds needed to complete the final stages of the project. Price
increases in items like cement, steel, and labour have impacted development efforts across the
country, and our project has not been exempt f rom these national pressures.
However, we are encouraged by the support of our partners. We are currently in active discussions
with Ghana International Bank, who have expressed strong interest in helping us secure the remaining
funding. These conversations are progressing positively, and we are hopeful this partnership will
enable us to complete and off icially open the centre in 2026.
Whythe Community Needs This Now More Than Ever
Across rural Ghana, access to books, ICT equipment, and safe learning spaces remains severely limited.
Only 2% of deprived basic schools have functioning ICT labs, leaving children to learn computing
theory without ever touching a computer. This widens the digital divide and leaves rural pupils at a
disadvantage during exams, higher education, and employment.

For schools in the Twedie area. this centre is not simply welcome it is urgently needed.
Parents, teachers, and local leaders consistently tell us:
Students struggle due to a lack of basic learning materials
Digital tools are almost entirely absent
There is no safe, quiet space for revision
Many children fall behind because they cannot access textbooks at home
This centre will change that it will provide equal access, equal opportunity, and a foundation for
educational success.
Demonstrating Our Capacity to Deliver
This project is a testament to our ability to lead large-scale, community-driven initiatives. From design
to groundwork to partnership building, we have demonstrated:
Strong community collaboration
Effective f inancial planning
Transparency and accountability
Skilled project management
A trusted Ghanaian team embedded in the community
It reinforces that To Live in H.O.P.E. is not only capable but uniquely placed to deliver inf rastructure
that responds directly to community-identif led need
Looking Ahead: Opening in 2026
Complete the Twedie Library & Icr Centre and open it to the community in 2026.
When the doors open, thousands of children will finally have:
A place to learn
A chance to develop digital literacy
Access to books, resources. and support
A safe, empowering environment to dream bigger than ever before
This is not just a building it is a gateway to opportunity, a hub of potential, and a foundation for
brighter futures across the district.
Together, we are building hope brick by brick. book by book, and child by child.

Empowering Girls Through Skills:
Vocational School Project- 2025 Update
Our vocational school, built to empower girls through education and practical skills, is now complete
an incredible milestone for the community and for the hundreds of young women whose futures
will be shaped here.
As always, listening to the community guides our next steps. During recent discussions with families,
teachers, and local leaders, one need stood out clearly: a girls, dormitory is essential. Many students
travel from distant rural areas where transport is limited, unsafe, or unaffordable. Without
accommodation, many girls simply cannot access the opportunities this school offers.
A dormitory will provide safe housing, reduce dropouts, and allow girls to focus fully on their training.
It will also help create future role models and break generational cycles of poverty, enabling their
own children to stay in school. This isn't just an extra building it's a lifeline.
For 2025-2026, completing the dormitory will be a top priority. This phase highlights our ability to
deliver large projects, adapt quickly to community needs, and stay committed to long-term change.
With this addition, the school becomes not only a training centre, but a safe haven, a pathway to
employment, and a foundation for future leaders.
The school is complete now we build the future around it.

Empowering Girls
Through Skills:
Expansion of Our Vocational Centres in 2025
In 2025, we proudly reached another major milestone: a Third vocational training centre has now been
built, and we are in the process of equipping it with the tools, materials, and resources needed to
begin training the next generation of young women.
The response f rom the community has been overwhelming. Once again, more than 300 girls applied
for the limited spaces available, a clear sign of the growing demand, the trust placed in these centres,
and the deep hunger for opportunity among young women across the region.
Why These Centres Will Continue to Be a Priority
Our vocational centres are more than training facilities they are life-changing engines of opportunity.
When a girl gains a skill, she doesn't just secure her own future; she transforms the future of her entire
family.
These centres change:
The lives of the girls, who gain independence, purpose, and a pathway out of poverty
The lives of their children, who are far more likely to attend school when their mothers can earn an
income
The lives of women in the wider community, who gain role models, mentors, and new leadership
figures
The local economy, which benef its from new micro-businesses, services, and income streams
created by skilled women
Every centre built strengthens an entire community.
And with each opening, demand continues to grow proof that this model works, is trusted, and is
creating real change. Families travel long distances to apply, and young women share stories of how
these opportunities give them dignity and hope.

Learning Directly From the Girl& New Needs Identified
During our recent visit, meeting the girls face-to-face gave us invaluable insights into what they need
to succeed not just in training, but in building sustainable livelihoods afterwards.
From these conversations, several new priorities emerged:
A showroom where the girls can sell their f inished products giving them exposure, confidence, and
immediate income
Small fridges to help girls chill and sell drinks, generating income that allows them to buy more
materials and reinvest in their training
Spaces for micro-enterprise, enabling the girls to learn business basics and begin earning before
they even complete the programme
These additions aren't luxuries they are practical tools for independence, helping girls turn skills into
sustainable earnings from day one.
We will continue to listen to the girls directly. Their voices shape our decisions, and their lived
experience ensures that every improvement we make is grounded in real need.
Our Commitment Moving Forward
As we expand this work, our priority is clear:
To continue building and equipping vocational centres that unlock opportunity, break generational
poverty, and empower women to become leaders, earners, and role models in their communities.
We will keep adapting as needs evolve, guided by what girls tell us they need not what we assume.
This is how true, lasting change is built.
And as demand continues to grow with each centre, we remain committed to ensuring that every girl
who wants a chance can have one.

The Power of Book&" Nearly Half a Million Donated
With the continued and generous support of Book-cycle, we are proud to share that our total
number of donated books has now reached just under half a million.
This milestone is more than a number it represents opportunity, imagination, and possibility for
thousands of children across Ghana. Books open worlds that many rural students have never had
access to. They improve literacy, fuel curiosity, support classroom learning, and give every child the
chance to dream beyond the limits of their surroundings.
For communities where resources are scarce, a single book can shape a future.
Half a million books can change a generation.
We are deeply grateful to Book-cycle for standing with us on this journey and helping place stories,
knowledge, and hope into the hands of children who desenie every chance to thrive.
Community Through SporL' Football Kits & Essential Supplies
We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of Kits 4 Causes, whose football kit donations
continue to bring excitement, pride, and a sense of belonging to children in the communities we
serve. For many young people in rural Ghana, these kits are the f irst sportswear they have ever
owned-and they mean everything.
Working with partners like Kits 4 Causes allows us to deliver high-impact support at minimal cost,
proving what is possible when charities work together. Alongside the football kits, we also regularly
send clothing, pencils, and essential school supplies, giving children the basic tools they need to
learn, play, and thrive.
These simple items create conf idence, joy, and meaningful change. Partnerships like these help us
stretch every pound and transform every donation into real impact.

One of My Highlights
of the Year:
Christmas Giving to Children in Need
Our Christmas giving project continues to be one of my absolute highlights every single year. What
may look like a small gesture f rom the outside means everything to the children and families who
receive it. A warm meal. a small wrapped gift, and the joy of being remembered these moments stay
with them long after the festive season ends.
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the public. we were able to reach even more families this
year. Your support made it possible to deliver nutritious food packages. thoughtful gifts, and a little
sparkle of Christmas magic to children who might otherwise have gone without.
Why It Matters:
For many children, this is the only gift they receive all year
A warm meal brings comfort, dignity. and relief to families under pressure
It reminds us all that compassion especially at Christmas can transform a day, a memory, and a
heart
This project may not be our largest, but it is one of the most meaningful. It captures the true spirit of
To Live in H.O.P.E showing up with love, humanity. and generosity when it matters most.
And thanks to your support, we cannot wait to do it again next year.

Menstruation Project: Supporting Girls, Reducing Stigma,
and Keeping Students in School
Our menstruation support project is now drawing to a close, and we are incredibly proud of what
has been achieved. Through the delivery of reusable sanitary pads, hands-on lessons teaching girls
how to make and care for them, and education sessions for both girls and boys, this project has
created meaningful, lasting change within the communities we serve.
For many girls in rural Ghana, a lack of menstrual products and basic knowledge means missing
several days of school every month. Over time, these absences add up affecting conf idence,
performance, and ultimately the chance to stay in education. By providing durable, washable pads
and equipping girls with the skills to make their own, we have helped ensure they can continue
attending school with dignity and conf idence.
Just as importantly, involving boys in the educational sessions has helped reduce stigma, promote
understanding, and foster a more supportive school environment. When communities talk openly
about menstruation, girls feel safer, more included, and more able to focus on their learning.
This project has delivered:
Life-changing educational support on menstrual health
Reusable pads and training that provide long-term, sustainable solutions
Improved school attendance for girls during their periods
Reduced stigma by engaging both girls and boys in learning
The impact is simple but powerful-
When girls can manage their periods safely and conf idently, they can stay in school, stay healthy,
and stay hopeful.
This project has shown what is possible when communities and charities work together with
openness, respect, and practical solutions-and the benef its will continue long after the project has
ended.

Our Main Priorities for
2026
l. Digital Learning & Icr Projects
Digital access is becoming one of the biggest barriers for rural children. With extremely low ICT access
in deprived schools only 2% have a functioning I￿ lab digital projects will be a major focus. We aim to
expand laptop provision, ICT training, and support for teachers so children can participate fully in
modern learning.
2. Completion of the Twedie Library & Icr Centre
With most of the build completed. finishing and opening the Twedie Library remains a top priority.
Once complete, it will serve more than 26.000 people across multiple communities, giving students
access to books, computers, and a safe space to study.
3. Toilet Suite for Asiwa (Bosome Freho District)
With around 4,000 community members lacking safe sanitation, and rural open defecation still
widespread 39% of rural households in Ghana follow this practice the Asiwa toilet suite is essential. This
project will directly improve health, attendance, and dignity, especially for girls during menstruation.
4. Seamstress Projects & Women's Empowerment
Demand for our seamstress and vocational projects continues to grow, with 300 applications for only
15 places at the most recent opening. These initiatives change not only women's lives but their
children's futures too. Expanding these programmes remains one of our strongest commitments.
5. Vocational School Dormitory
With girls travelling long distances to attend the vocational school, daily commuting is not possible.
Building the girls, dormitory will ensure safe accommodation, protect attendance, and allow young
women to access training without barriers.
6. Clothingi School Supplies & Small-scale Community Projects
We will continue our regular shipments and deliveries of clothing, pencils, school supplies, and
essential items small acts that make a big difference in rural communities. These projects remain a
cornerstone of our support.

7. Strengthening Our Social Media Presence
Social media continues to be one of our most valuable tools for awareness, fundraising, and
community engagement. Growing our online presence will remain a key priority as it helps us reach
more supporters and amplify the voices of the communities we serve.
8. Volunteer Development
We aim to expand and strengthen our volunteer programme in both the UK and Ghana. Volunteers are
central to our work, and developing clearer roles, better support, and more opportunities to get
involved will be a major focus.
How We Plan to Achieve
These Goals
Applying for Larger, Multi-year Grants
Sustainable funding is key to our growth. We will focus on securing multi-year grants to support core
costs and long-term development.
Building Stronger Business Partnerships
We wi15 continue to work with Sumillion and grow new corporate partnerships that can provide
expertise, funding, and in-kind support.
Expanding Our Volunteer Network
We will increase engagement with churches, schools, local groups, and individuals passionate about
supporting our mission.
Improving Online Fundraising
Enhanced storytelling, improved content, and consistent communication will help us reach new
donors and raise vital funds.

Areas of Concern
right Budgets & Rising Costs
Funding remains limited, and material prices in Ghana continue to rise, affecting planning and
delivery. Rural projects are particularly impacted by inflation and transport costs.
Remote Project Locations
Some communities remain diff icult to reach, but our dedicated Ghana team continues to manage
these challenges effectively.
Economic Impact on Donors
With cost-of-living pressures affecting supporters, we must rely more on grants, partnerships, and
digital fundraising.
Trusts & Grants
Trust and grant funding is becoming increasingly competitive. with more charities than ever applying
for the same limited opportunities. Despite this growing pressure. we remain committed to reaching
out to trusts and foundations that share our mission and values. We will continue building
relationships, strengthening our applications. and connecting with funders who believe in the long-
term impact of our work.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Despite the challenges, our outlook for 2026 is one of confidence and determination. The projects
ahead are ambitious, but they are needed and they are transformational. With your continued support,
we will deliver meaningful change, strengthen communities, and give thousands more the chance to
learn, grow, and live in H.O.P.E.
