## **Context**
On 9/3/2020 Community Sports Leaders Africa was officially registered as a charity. This is the 1[st] official annual report for the Charity Commission. Previous reports going back to 2017 are available on request. 2020 has been a difficult year because of the Covid-19 pandemic. In April 2020 a shipment of sports equipment was supposed to leave for Malawi but was postponed. It finally left in November 2020 and arrived in early April in Malawi. In September 2020 our annual 3 week visit to Malawi was postponed. The training that was due to happen at that time had to be postponed but local trainers delivered the training in early 2021.
