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 provided food packs for up
to 2,000 poor families during the year
especially widows with orphan children
and elderly.
The charity paid the school fees and
school materials for 33 orphans.
Taking care of these orphans prevents
them from being in the streets or ending
up as criminals and beggars. We have
professional child care volunteer who
follows up on the progress of these
children with the schools.
The charity also paid for the health care
for the orphans.
We dug 4 water wells in different
villages where people had no clean
drinking water.
We repaired two community centres
