## **Kawangware Humanitarian education school** ## **Charity number 1184654** ## **Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31st July 2021** ## **RATIONALE:** To provide resources, funding for teachers, food and building costs to Kawangware humanitarian Education school, Kawangware slum, Nairobi, Kenya. Africa. ## **HISTORY** This charity was set up in August 2019 to support this particular school, when the Trustees visited it on two occasions and formed a connection with the school, the Head and the teachers there. The school was set up by a teacher and built by her on a piece of waste land next to a church. The school has been established now for 11 years, providing education for children with learning and/or physical disabilities and orphan children/one parent family children from extreme poverty who cannot afford to go to school. The school is not supported by the government and is run entirely voluntarily. Before receiving charitable status, we as trustees were able to provide, through fundraising, the following: - A water tank and guttering around the school - Tables and chairs for each of the classrooms - A secure door, redecoration and electricity to one room to be used for storage and an office - Major building work to repair the structure of one side of the school and make it safe and secure , as it was in grave danger of collapse - Tile flooring to each classroom instead of dirt floors. The charity has several donors who give a monthly contribution in order to pay a nominal wage to 6 teachers who otherwise work voluntarily at the school. This amounts to around £400 per calendar month. There has been an annual donation total of £11, 400 In addition to the above, our fundraising evenings, such as Kenyan evenings, quiz nights and barn dances have raised money for: - The provision of 5 bunk beds in one classroom, in the hope of being able to provide an area for the start of overnight support for the children who have no home or parents - Provision of food for the school, where the children get their only meal of the day. - Funds towards the long term project of building a new school. ## **THE LAST YEAR:** This last year during COVID, we have been unable to continue with any significant fundraising. However, we provided regular emails to our supporters, many of whom continue to give to the wider long term cause, but also give in addition to immediate crisis. We have kept in close contact with the principal at the school and ensured the welfare of the children, who could not attend school during the pandemic, but still relied on the school for their one meal a day. It was crucial that we ensured this could happen. The school lost one child to Covid during the pandemic. The Covid epidemic has hit Africa really hard. There has been an increase in the cost of food by three fold. . There is no work and many families literally work one day to provide one meal for their families. During the last financial year, we were able to send lump sums for additional support. This year, we have been able to increase the monthly donations so that over the year there has been an increase of nearly £3,000 over the year. Alongside this, we have been able to send small donations of around £200 raised by individuals for the school to get some food. ## **LONG TERM VISION** The charity continues to raise money for the long term goal of rebuilding a school that is fit for purpose and is on permanent land. It is a temporary structure made from corrugated metal, built on a sewerage pipe on land which could be claimed by the government if they wished to do so. Currently the school provides day education for over 100 children. The area is extremely small with no outside space. We continue to receive some regular donations but require significant injections of funds from large donors in order for this to be possible. We need around £100,000 for the land which is extremely expensive in Nairobi. We then need to build a school which will provide both day and overnight care. The Charity continues to aim for this to become reality. To date we have raised £24,000 for this cause. Since we were established as a charity we have raised £16,000 towards this, in addition to the provision of monthly salaries, and Covid crisis donations. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** Registered Charity Number 1184654 ## **Principal address:** 35 Woodland Park Paignton TQ3 2ST ## **Trustees** Mrs Dawn Harris Mr Martin Harris Mr Joseph Harris Approved by the board of trustees on 18[th] May 2022 and signed on its behalf by: Mrs D Harris - Trustee KAWANGWARE HUMANITARIAN EDUCATION SCHOOL Charity number 1184654 TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sfJuLY 2021 Kawangware Humanltartan Educatlon Sthool charlty no 1184654 Recelpts and Payments Account for The Year Ended 31st July 2021 Genernl Fund 2021 Geneml Fund 2020 Recelpts Donation5 & gift aid 11,474 11,474 26,722 26.722 Payments Teacher support Other support COVID assltance Fundraising expenses Accountancy & Indepen(lent Examlnauon 6.130 3,646 228 2.704 89 660 6,790 S,667 Net 5urplusldef1c￿ for the year 4.684 20.055 Opening bank balance ank balance at 31st july 2021 20.055 24,739 20.055 Statement of A$5ets and Uabllltles At 31st July 2011 Geneml Fund 2,021 Generol Fund 2020 Cash at bank 24.739 24,739 20,055 20,055 Debtors Gift ald 4.105 Llt7billtles Independent Examination Accountancy CIO set up 420 420 240 Note The trustees conftrm, In accordance wlth the Charttable Incorporated Organisations IGenerall Regulation$ 2012. that at the year end the CIO djd not have any outstanding guarantees to third parties nor any debts secured on the assets of the CIO.
