## **Trustees Annual Report**
The first project of the charity has been supporting fundraising for a new Maternity Ward at Kibogora Hospital. Construction is complete and we have liaised throughout with Rwandan colleagues to ensure the project aligns with Ministry of Health District and National plans. The State Minister of Health responsible for Primary Care at the Ministry of Health officially opened the new building on 25th January 2023 and reiterated his thanks and commitment regarding future funding, staffing and equipment needs. The building is now fully operational.. Payments during this period have been in respect of finalising accounts and a number of additional minor works.
## **Review of Community Benefit**
Details of the project are ouitlined in the Business Plan for the new ward, and the crucial impact it is now having on the health and wellbeing of the patients of Kibogora Hospital, and the 254,000 population of Nyamasheke District it serves.
## **Review of risk management and financial performance**
The key risks are in the payments to the project, that work has been properly done, and money transferred is followed through to the project. The mechanisms for dealing with these issues are set out in Sections 11-13 of the Business Plan.
