made by volunteers:||||||| |All our AGB projects (except construction

The|trustees are working||| |voluntarily,
as are the managers
in Bissau. We also worked with the group of8|environmental
managers,||COTEDAE, for the tree-planting|||(Dec 2020)| |and port clean-up projects. They also worked

of main achievements,
identifying
the difference the charity's
work has made to the circumstances
of its beneficiaries
and society:||||||| |The well repairs and toilet repairs
in the area ofCatio have made a big difference to the lives ofmany families and communities.
This has||||||affected| |their quality ofwater, health,
hygiene
and privacy, as the wells and toilets had|little structure
beyond
mud||and holes beforehand||due to many rainy|| |seasons.||||||| |The scholarships
and microcredit
projects for women
have been a big benefit to the women concerned.||The women
with microcredit
projects have||||| |learned
how to manage their money, contribute
to their household
expenses
and provide food for their||children. The scholarship|||women|will be able| |to provide
in future for their families.||||||| |The port clean-up and tree-planting
have brought great environmental
benefit,|including
cleaner air and|water, organisation||ofeffective||rubbish| |collection, and healthy
fruits
in the future for families.||||||| |More basic needs have also been provided
for with the projects to buy agricultural
tools and large sacks||ofrice.||||| ## ## ## ||||||9|months ended| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||||2021| |||||||Y-)| |Incomin
