ANNUAL REPORT : VIVA FOUNDATION UK
15 May 2023
On behalf of the Viva Foundation UK, it is my pleasure to provide the annual report of the organisation for the period 1 March 2022 to 28 February 2023.
Activities
The activities of the organisation were limited to a visit from Trustee Meleney Kriel to a church in Sheffield, Bushfire Ministries where a presentation about the organisation’s activities in South Africa, was made. The presentation took place on in May 2022.
Bushfire Ministries has sent donations to the Viva Foundation South Africa directly, via PayPal in South Africa and therefore their support did not affect the financial situation of the Viva Foundation UK.
Finances
The only funding received was a transfer of one hundred Pounds Stirling from Viva Foundation e.V. Germany, into the Viva Foundation UK account held with the Wise bank.
It is still impossible for the organisation to open a bank account with a “regular” bank, in the light of the fact that the Trustee Meleney Kriel, is not a resident of the United Kingdom and the organisation is new. The Wise bank account does not qualify for Gift Aid.
Expenditures include rail tickets and Uber rides during the travel to the UK by the Trustee Meleney Kriel. All other travel expenses were borne by herself. The amount of expenses were less than forty eight Pounds Stirling.

Trustees
The process of recruitment of Trustees and additional members continues without change. A good relationship with members of the Bushfire Ministries in Sheffield has potential of producing growth in Trustee and member numbers, but to date, nothing has changed in this regard.
Other activities
The activities of the Viva Foundation continues in South Africa and Brazil, with effect. It is noted that the Viva Foundation branch in Germany experienced a similar slow start, until the Viva Children’s Choir from South Africa travelled to Germany and raised awareness and funds for the programmes in South Africa.
It is the hope that with assistance from grant makers, the Viva Children’s Choir will likewise be able to travel to the UK and initiate a growth phase for the organisation’s branch in the UK.
Until then, the Trustees remain hopeful that the organisation will experience growth soon.
Warm regards
