Trustees Annual Report 

Statement of Financial activities 



## Report of the Trustees for the year 2023 Report of the Trustees for the year 1 January to 31 December 2023 

## £0 accounts but plenty going on 

We are currently running our work on in-kind donations through provisions and supplies of our supporters, that are transported directly to the people we vowed to support. 

Hence our accounts have £0 receipts or payments. 

We use shipping company Swiss Global Freight to transport these goods. We also make our own visits to speak with the people there to check ongoing needs and see how our provisions are supporting the community. 

Photos and more details on amounts/values for 2023 are within our activities section. 

## Our purpose and vision 

It is the vision of the Ignatius Foundation to see Makonde Primary School and the surrounding community of Gutu transformed. There are countless communities that need physical and economic transformation, and it is our aim to see most if not all of them transformed for the better. 

The objective of the charity is for the benefit of the public: 

_preventing and relief of poverty through the provision of support, funds, goods or services of any kind in Gutu, Zimbabwe and such other parts of Zimbabwe, Africa and the whole world._ 

We do this by: 

## **We believe that the key to fighting poverty is through education** 

Education for all is our vision. Through the provision of essential educational supplies and funding we are ensuring that Makonde Primary School in Gutu, Masvingo, Zimbabwe is a force for good in the community!

The details behind the vision 

In June 2016 Ignatius Makonese lost his life, the effects of his passing were felt far beyond the immediate family as he and his wife Edna, had made it their life’s work to bring about physical and economical development to the village of Kwesere in Gutu. 

After the passing of her father Patience Makonese Chijoko travelled to Gutu and was amazed at the number of people gathering at her family’s house requiring assistance. She decided that in order to carry on the legacy her father and mother had established, she vowed that she would support Makonde Primary School and bring about change hence making an impact in the community. 

Since then, Patience has been able to supply the school with stationery, IT equipment, clothes, shoes and funding donated by friends and family. 

The primary school 

This is the School in Gutu, Zimbabwe that we are currently supporting.

2023’s activities and achievements 

2023 was a very difficult year for the Trustees who volunteer their time to make the Charity work. An unexpected and sudden personal issue took all of their time and effort throughout most of 2023. 

Therefore, we were unable to make a visit or collect provisions due to this. 

2024 we got back on track, and we made our next visit in August 2024. We will report on this in our 2024 report.

Other Volunteers 

We cannot run without our volunteers, although we have 2 volunteers, their time in 2023 was very limited. 

## Financial Review 

We are able to sustain our work at the present time with in-kind donations that are shipped or sent directly to the area we currently support. 

All costs are met by a beneficiary, and again are in-kind so do not go through any of our accounts or financial statements. 

Given the value of our total in-kind benefits means we can submit Receipts and Payments Accounts, the in-kind totals are not required to be (nor are they) shown in the accounts below. 

Therefore, our reserves are still £nil due to the unique way or donors support our work. 

Assets 

All work is done by volunteers using their own equipment, so the Charity holds no assets either. 

We do not currently have a bank account hence the balance is £0.
