public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard tothe guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)				Grants were made to a hostel based in Pokhara, Nepal that takes in children who are subject to abuse and cruelty and whose families (ifthey exist) are unable to look after them. The children are provided with good quality accommodation, a safe family environment and a good education. The hostel is registered with the Nepali authorities and its activities are overseen by a committee, independent from the hostel workers, drawn from local churches. During the year trustees have had video calls with the home manager and shared information with medical missionaries
				from Switzerland who co-fund the work.
				As a result ofthese grants:
				~ Young people who otherwise would have been at risk have been kept
				safe
				~ Young people have been freed from cruel and abusive situations.
				~ Twenty-two young people have progressed their education within the
				Nepal system with their fees paid for
