MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Welcome to the Second annual report of the KnownValuedLoved. It has been another exciting year of Growth in so many ways, including appointing our first additional members of staff, launching new projects, and developing new partnerships with churches and businesses. It has been incredible to see KnownValuedLoved developing into the charity we dreamed it could be - impacting so many different people, giving teachers much needed help and support - making them feel seen and valued, and changing the life opportunities for literally hundreds of children. There is still much more to do and we are just getting started.

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about what we are doing and look at ways to support our work. It is always a pleasure to share who we are I hope you are encouraged by our work.

Our partners continue to inspire us. They do such incredible things in challenging situations and circumstances it really is an honour and privilege to work alongside them. Relationships, built on mutual respect are so important to us, and create a solid foundation on which we built. Partners who tell us what their needs are and we work together to find sustainable solutions.

All our work is made possible by the incredible support we receive from individuals, businesses, schools, and churches, and we are so grateful to everyone who has followed our journey and supported us practically, financially or emotionally.

I really hope you enjoy reading this report, I hope it informs you, inspires you and encourages you – that you are part of the solution and helping children get that education that will give them the chance of a better future.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY

Our OBJECTIVE is to advance education primarily in communities impacted by conflict anywhere in the world by improving both equality of access and the quality of provision for children and young people.

MISSION, VALUES, VISION

Our MISSION

We believe education is the key to seeing lives rebuilt and communities impacted by conflict restored. We develop, support and inform education provision where it’s needed most to give young people the chance of a better future.

Our VALUES

We are empowering: Our aim is to develop projects that have a lasting impact by working alongside local communities, empowering and equipping them to provide access to relevant, high-quality education for all.

We are independent: Education is a basic human right. We remain independent of political, cultural and religious views, advocating for people regardless of their background and beliefs.

We work with integrity: We truly believe in what we stand for. We want to make sure people are Known within their community and that their needs are seen and understood; that they know that they are Valued and that their lives have purpose; and that they are shown compassion and Loved.

Our VISION

For young people to have aspirations and equal opportunities and for communities to flourish. Vision

PURPOSE & ACTIVITIES

Education Development Programme

We support education providers (schools, NGOs, informal education settings) by working with and supporting school leaders and teachers. Our Education Development Programme is the core element of what we do as a charity. The model focuses on sustainable school improvement, by working alongside senior leaders from schools, education providers and local NGO’s.

Grant Giving Partnership

Our grant programme exists to support education providers (local NGO’s, schools etc) to improve the access to education in their community, the quality of education available, or both.

This is partly achieved by the provision of grants (or where a direct financial transaction is not possible, the provision of resources). All grants will be applied for by the education provider and will need to demonstrate how the funds or resources aim to improve, access to, or quality of the education available to members of their community.

In our second year as a charity we continued to lay foundations, ensuring that KnownValuedLoved becomes a sustainable charity. Reviewing and assessing all processes and procedures have been vital, so that the charity is ready to grow in the upcoming years.

We have continued to develop key areas of our work including teacher training materials, teacher and support staff professional development. We have contributed to building costs, building adaptations, project costs, salary costs to name a few.
