Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity had a successful year both in terms of fundraising and managing its internal operating costs, with the total net income for the year being more than five and a half times its original budget. The charity managed to successfully complete another five water boreholes, including its first piped water supply with solar electric pump and tapping system. This has been a significant step forward for the charity as it allows us to get more water to more people more quickly. It also offers the potential to extend the system to a wider catchment area in the future at a comparatively lower cost. |
