Para 1.21 | we solely rely on membership monthly subscriptions and generous donations by individual members and were able to effectively spread out the funds to be used in reaching out to as many people as possible. The charity hope to holds investments primarily in low risk business that will provide a relatively stable stream of income throughout the year.
