Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 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.

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 Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 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. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees Patience Makonese, Trustee 30 October 2025
