Para 1.20 | OneRio has continued to support our partner charity UmRio operating in Brazil. In 2023 they supported disadvantaged young people through five pillars: Rugby: Rugby is a central part of UmRio/OneRio’s identity and methodology. It serves as an entry point to our interventions, providing a safe and enabling environment where we can ascertain need. As a non-traditional sport in most LMIC contexts, rugby is able to generate interest in youth who may not feel included in more traditional activities like football. In being a team sport, values such as teamwork, communication and respect can be harnessed as an interface to ascertain data on needs, interests and vulnerabilities within a safe and playful environment. In 2023 UmRio expanded its rugby programming beyond EM João Brazil, where it has operated since 2013, to include EM Portugal Neves and EM Roberto Silveira. Data collected on rugby playing participants at baseline (February 2023) and endline (December 2023) showed the following: ● 8% improvement in self- confidence ● 12% improvement in mental health ● 9% improvement in self-esteem ● 18% improvement in self- regulation Girls enrolled in UmRio’s rugby programme: ● 4.6 times more likely to exercise on a daily basis than girls who are not enrolled in rugby ● 18% improvement in self-esteem scores ● 85% report knowing where to find support if needed ● 26% improvement in problem- solving skills ● 87% report having non-family support networks In 2023, UmRio had 6 girls represent the State of Rio de Janeiro, with one girl going on to be selected for Brazil`s under |
17 national team.
Rugby-playing participants who define as LGBTQIA+: ● 83% attribute rugby to improving mental health ● 39% improvement in self-esteem scores ● 78% attribute rugby to improving their overall well-being
Education: UmRio delivers a number of education programmes including: English classes, educational support classes, prep courses for university entrance exams, robotics, coding, storytelling and drama. Education has expanded from 10% of UmRio’s programming in 2017 to 60% in 2023. Reducing the achievement gap between children in Morro do Castro and those from Niterói’s highest-performing schools is an integral part of our organisational vision, and a stated objective in our strategic development plan. We are delighted that developments observed in personal development scores within individual programmes are translating into improvements in academic outcomes.
-
Academic performance of participants enrolled at EM João Brazil: ● 29% average improvement in Portuguese
-
● 9% increase in students obtaining A’s & B’s in Portuguese
-
● 27% average improvement in mathematics
-
● 14% increase in students obtaining A’s & B’s in mathematics
In 2023, UmRio expanded children and young people’s access to robotics in Morro do Castro, adding robotics workshops at partner schools EM João Brazil and CIEP251 Dona Maria Portugal. EM João Brazil’s has been named the best public-run school in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and the second best municipal school in robotics in the country.
Participants enrolled in the robotics programme reported: ● 15% improvement in
communication skills
-
16% improvement in selfregulation
-
18% improvement in self efficacy scores
-
22%improvement in problem solving
Employability: UmRio`s Employability programme focuses on job-readiness training and providing opportunities for youth to gain experience within a field of their interest. Job readiness is centred around helping young people develop digital skills and improving their CV writing, cover letter writing, and interview practice. The programme also helps young people with job searches.
We set up a youth leadership programme within our Employability pillar, where young people are provided with opportunities to support programmes and activities at UmRIo that are in line with their academic and professional aspirations. In some cases, youth are unclear as to what profession they would like to pursue but have a number of interests which can be explored through our youth leadership programme enabling them to gain clarity of what they want to do in the future and how they might be able to achieve it.
Youth Leaders reported:
-
100% improvement in goal setting
-
79% improvement in self confidence
-
75% improvement in mental health
Healthcare:
UmRio has been slowly building a network of doctors and healthcare institutes to provide pro- bono consultations and treatment.
This network has expanded following the establishment of a partnership between UmRio and Latin America’s foremost health & technology institution, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) in 2023. Through our partnership with Fiocruz, we have been able to build relationships with university departments across Brazil and around the world who can support with the provision of a range of vital health services to the residents of the Morro do Castro favela.
UmRio has also set up partnerships with university departments, individual doctors and private clinics to form UmRio’s Healthcare Network that can provide individual support upon demand. Amongst these partners are the Federal University Fluminense’s Dermatology department and the Ipanema Health Club. Together these university departments, private clinics and individual doctors contribute to both the overall health and well-being of our participants, but also provide important financial relief by providing services that would otherwise take months to obtain or that are financially nonviable to the people we serve, free-of-charge. To help ensure EM João Brazil is able to transform disabling learning environments into enabling ones, we have partnered with the Federal University Fluminense’s Rede GEAL to help provide the appropriate diagnosis, which is expected to increase public funding to the school by an estimated BRL 240,000 (GBP 40,000).
UmRio data indicates unequal access to adequate healthcare for girls. Following focus-group discussions and conversations with the womens subcommittee of UmRios youth council it was highlighted that girls had limited access to gynaecologists within Morro do Castro, and when they do have access to gynaecologists they tend to be unprofessional, sharing private information with members of the community. In response to this context, we set up a women’s healthcare contingency fund in 2021. Unfortunately, very few girls actually accessed the fund, and in 2023 we conducted further focusgroup discussions, and meetings with the women’s subcommittee within the youth council. It was proposed that a specific day be scheduled to take groups of girls to a clinic, rather than waiting for participants to request access to the fund. Following this, 25 girls received check-ups with a private health center, 60% had never been to a gynaecologist before.
UmRio’s mental healthcare programme combines group therapy with individual consultations. In 2023, for the first time, UmRio was able to hire 3 psychologists,
which meant that our mental healthcare programme no longer had to rely exclusively on the pro-bono support of professionals. Using data collection systems, UmRio is able to offer individual consultations to students who register low scores on mental health indicators, enabling us to allocate the limited hours of the professionals we have available to those who need it most. This has led to an improvement in average mental health scores of overall participants of 13%, and a reduction in the gap in mental health scores between girls and boys from 17% to 1%. Social Services: UmRio's Social Services pillar was founded in 2020, in response to the COVID19 pandemic. The Social Services pillar cuts across all of UmRio's pillars, providing a platform so that no child is left behind. Each child and young person’s circumstances are monitored periodically by the Social Services team, combining data collected through our monitoring & evaluation systems, home visits and interviews to keep up-to-date with the specific needs of the families we serve. In 2023 UmRio began working with Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) to deliver an evidence-based humanitarian programme in Morro do Castro that would support the hardest-to-reach and most vulnerable families in the community. Among the support offered to families are food cards, which families can use in local supermarkets to purchase their monthly groceries.
Financial Review
| Financial Review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Income for the period was £112k (FY22: £70k), driven by increased grant income from an existing supporter and a one-off individual donation. Expenditure was £39k (FY23: £39k), with an increase in stipend payments offset by one-off costs in FY23. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | OneRio’s reserves consist of unrestricted funds that are not readily available for spending, since the spending of these funds may adversely impact OneRio’s ability to deliver its long-term aims. In line with Charity Commission guidance, when determining our reserves, we consider only unrestricted funds that are not set aside to meet future essential spending. Reserves are held by OneRio for the following reasons: To provide resilience in the face of unforeseen financial difficulties; and To facilitate future growth of OneRio. In determining the target level of reserves to be held by OneRio, we consider those that are sufficient for the charity to sustain its operations for a period of 12 months, should no additional external funding be received. |
