Para 1.20
**During the year under review the**
**charity’s main achievements were:**
**Continuing with our “Build a Better**
**Future” appeal that was launched at the**
**end of May 2022. We sought to**
**encourage UK sponsors to give money**
**that could be used towards further**
**widescale food distributions. This was**
**as a result of the severe impact of**
**increased food prices seen on a**
**worldwide level, fuelled by the increased**
**cost of living crisis. The increased food**
**distribution was continued for nearly 6**
**months.**
**The appeal also aimed to support the**
**retention of teachers employed at The**
**Fathers Childrens School. By financially**
**supporting the school with additional**
**funds via our appeal, we were able to**
**ensure teacher’s salaries were more**
**sustainable, leading to full retention of**
**staff.**
**We continued throughout the year to**
**raise new sponsorships for children,**
**enabling more children to attend school.**
**We also sought to increase the number**
**of elderly women (who are living on their**
**own or looking after grandchildren) to be**
**covered by our ‘Befriend a Granny’**
**scheme. This scheme ensures practical**
**needs can be met for those elderly**
**individuals who are often neglected**
**community members. The financial**
**support provided to them, helps to**
**supply food and home essentials for**
**them and the family members they care**
**for.**
**In June 2022, we helped financially**
**support The Fathers Childrens School**
**sports day. This is a large community**
**event and enables feeding for extended**
**families and guardians.**
**Following a physical return to school**
**after multiple covid closures over the**
**previous years, children were schooled**
**as normal via our sponsorship scheme.**
**In January 2023 after a few weeks of**
**Government led school closures**
**(following an Ebola outbreak), the**
**children were again able to resume**
**normality and recommence normal**
**schooling, which enabled all remaining**
**terms to be completed as planned.**
**Ongoing support was provided to The**
**Fathers Children School, ensuring hot**
**meals were again provided to all school**
**children, and scholastic materials were**
~~**so rced as req ired**~~| |---|---| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
