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)
The charity supports a charitable project in India, The Mangalakara Education Trust (“MET”). MET’s mission is to fight poverty through education. It is located in one of the poorest and most drought-ridden parts of India and provides primary education to 230 orphans and other destitute children who have often suffered terrible domestic abuse. It provides these children with a peaceful, secure and stimulating environment in which to live and learn. It is run with complete integrity by a team of three Trustees who share responsibility for the needs of all the children, many of whom arrive at MET completely undernourished and traumatised. The loving and healthy environment that embraces them from day one ensures they quickly settle into their new lives and grow in confidence and ability.
On the Trust’s 13-acre site there are a further 800 students in the Junior College and 741 in the Degree College. Of these 1,541 secondary and tertiary education students, 70 are from the primary school and the Trust continues to be their home and family. All of the other secondary and tertiary education students are from the surrounding area and would otherwise not have access to affordable further education.
The Trust’s alumni are proof that the organization’s mission is succeeding. They are able to easily find employment upon graduation in a variety of professional industries, and many work as far afield as China, Dubai, Australia and the USA in prestigious companies such as Kia, WIPRO, Oracle and Andhra Bank.
The trustees monitor the activities of MET and have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
