Section C Objectives and activities

March 2012

TAR

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To help impoverished children including orphans of Ghana get an education and to give encouragement and support to the parents /guardians in becoming financially sustainable. Thereby reducing the impact of poverty on young lives – equipping them to embrace opportunities.

Our first year of operation has been successful in maintaining eight children in primary education by paying school fees, providing uniform, books, and school lunches. During Covid -19, the charity was able to provide catch up lessons and summer school at opportune times of restrictions lifting, catering for over 40 children.

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)

Thankfully, all provisions were funded by the successful applications for grants, our fundraising efforts of cooking AfroCaribbean takeaways such jerk chicken, curried goat, and oxtail stew - served with rice and plantain. Sales from our African hand-made merchandise and donations from friends of the charity were valuable contributions.

With a steady flow of grants and sales from fundraising efforts, we were able to increase our commitment to supporting 12 children including one orphaned teenager in vocational training.
