During the year, we recruited three Sierra Leonean women with relevant expertise to join the board. They now provide strategic advice and act as a sounding board for the charity, while also helping to oversee programme delivery and monitor progress against local strategic goals. - the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; - relationship with any related parties; - trustees’ consideration of - major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 3 March **2012** **TAR** ## **Section C Objectives and activities** The objects of the CIO are: **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** (i) To advance the education of children and young adults in Sierra Leone, particularly those affected by pregnancy and early motherhood, by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education. (ii) The prevention or relief of poverty in Sierra Leone through the provision of shelter, food, health, education and other charitable services as the trustees from time to time deem appropriate. In 2025, the AdAmi Project worked together with young mothers in Bo district, southern Sierra Leone to build healthy, happy and independent futures. We delivered this work with two local implementing partners: AdAmi Project Sierra Leone and Movement for Education and Advocacy Salone (MEANS). During the year, 213 young mothers were supported to pursue education through formal schooling or vocational training, alongside mentoring and life-skills education. We provided tailored, longer-term support, typically over two to three years, including school or vocational training scholarships, uniforms and learning materials, childcare and transport support, monthly sanitary pads, and start-up kits at graduation. Young mothers also took part in regular group life-skills sessions in a safe space and received weekly checkins and one-to-one guidance from a trained mentor or social worker. Family and community engagement remained an important part of our work. This included family counselling and mediation, family meals, smallbusiness training and grants for parents and caregivers, and community advocacy and awarenessraising. During the year, 116 family members and caregivers received business grant support or small childcare stipends. Alongside our direct project work, more than 300 additional young mothers and vulnerable girls participated in activities via the Community Girls Network. Overall, more than 650 individuals benefited indirectly from our work, including the children of the young mothers, parents, wider family and community members. The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 4 March **2012** **TAR** ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: Safeguarding is paramount to the AdAmi Project, and we share this responsibility with our local partners. We require all local partners to have a robust safeguarding policy in place and to submit details of any safeguarding incidents to us within quarterly safeguarding reports. We are pleased to report that there were no major safeguarding incidents in 2025. - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. The AdAmi Project has its own safeguarding policy, which is reviewed and updated regularly. Should any trustee, volunteer, or supporter visit the work in Sierra Leone, they are required to review and comply with our safeguarding policies and procedures. Depending on the nature of their contact with beneficiaries, they may also be required to undergo a DBS check. 5 March **2012** **TAR** ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of** In 2025, 213 young mothers participated in our core project, receiving tailored, long-term **the main achievement** support through education, vocational training, mentoring, peer support, and family **s of the** engagement.
