completed and work started on Layagboray
PHU. These projects have been
enthusiastically and gratefully received by
the communities they serve and by the
DHMT.
We continue with our education
programme, via scholarships, and were
able to fund 4 people under this scheme,
with qualifications ranging from Community
Midwife, SRN, and two qualifications under
Community Health Sciences – BSc and
Diploma.
The mentoring programme has yet to get
off the ground, despite the support of the
DMO, Dr. Yilla, as we were unable to find
someone to lead the project for us in
Kambia. We have now agreed to split the
workload between a small group of people
who will lead it between them.
We were very grateful to receive a donation
of £1,000 from the Dumbreck charity and
£1553 donation via Much Loved in memory
of Bernie Cannon.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against

Expenditure increased, however, in line
with plans agreed by the Trustees, with the
purchase of various items of medical
equipment for shipment to Kambia and the
provision of financial support to refurbish 2
Peripheral Health Units(PHUs) in the
District.
The Trustees have continued to consider
the ongoing life and activities of the Charity.
They are very much aware that its
continued existence is to some extent
dependent on the level of funds held and,
as such, efforts continue to add to these
funds going forward.
