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	By the end of the financial year, the charity is continuing to support girls with their further education, which is a huge impact, as these girls would not be continuing with their further education without this assistance. We delivered community wide workshops, engaging with out of school girls, village elders and local authority leaders in Malawi in an effort to create holistic community support for girls. As a result of this intervention a huge number of out of school girls returned to school, some of whom are now under our sponsorship programme. We are now delivering entrepreneurship and business management training to girls/women from rural communities so they can create and grow their enterprise, which will allow them to become financially independent.
