Para 1.20 | Provided school fees to increase to existing students on the cohort Educating Africa has made a significant impact by supporting the education of nine girls through funding their school fees, uniforms, and books. This financial assistance has enabled them to continue their studies without economic barriers. The charity also organised workshops and a field trip, enriching their learning experiences and broadening their perspectives. Additionally, regular welfare checks ensured their well-being, reinforcing a supportive environment. Beyond the direct beneficiaries, the charity's efforts contribute to broader societal benefits by promoting gender equality in education, empowering young women, and fostering long-term community development. |

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to the remainder years for each enrolled girl in school in a way that does not hinder completion of their secondary education. Therefore, if there are 4 enrolled girls in school, then reserves will be 4 X tuition fees per year X remainder academic years in school. We do not add the upcoming cost for the academic year in reserves and also pad projected upcoming costs with a contingency amount that rolls back into contingency should it not be spent. We intend to use the reserves in the following manner in 3- 5 years (based on the remainder duration of the girls education): a. Tuition fees and associated school costs b. Enrichment programs c. Emergency situations completely outside of any forecasted scenario e.g. COVID-19 pandemic The Board regularly on an annual basis reviews the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. |
