The charity principal activities are summarised as follows:

-‘’The Restoration Programme’’ - A programme designed to provide very vulnerable women sustainability by setting them up with small businesses or helping them obtain/find employment in Ghana.

-‘’The Restoration Programme Workshops-empowerment’’- Small workshops teaching very vulnerable women skills in order to start a small business in Ghana to escape poverty.

Achievements

We work towards the UN 2030 Sustainable Developmental Goals and we work within the framework of SDG1 (Zero Poverty), SDG2- (Zero Hunger), SDG 3- (Good health and wellbeing), SDG10- (Reduce inequalities).

We received an award from the Humanitarian Awards Global (Ghana) for Best Advocate Against Poverty for our work under the SDG1.

Despite the challenges of what the post coronavirus pandemic brought we had a successful year for Hope Hill Foundation. We were able to be a blessing to many people during a very difficult time and season. Working with a restricted income both in the United Kingdom and Ghana, we were able to provide the

following in both countries due to our grants, donations and kind gestures from funders and the community:

GHANA

UNITED KINGDOM

Our achievements are indicative of the hard work, dedication and commitment of our team and volunteers that effortlessly worked during the year to support those in the greatest need. We are so pleased to continue to offer support and pray that we grow from strength to strength to be able to help more people. In Ghana we have had people/food vendors donate food in kind which has been a blessing! We have also had donations from a church based in the USA of clothing & toiletries. We have managed to build a small team of volunteers who are from various backgrounds and hope to continue to develop as we continue to impact lives.

Goals for 2024-2025

Funding & Donatons

We want to continue working hard to obtain funding to support our various initiatives in order to help more families.

6

Collaboratve Work

Work alongside other organisations with the same values and passions we have to give more women/children/families support and increase awareness of what we do as an organisation.

Restoraton Programme

Identify the opportunity to support families to become self-reliant and continue our workshops to help women start small businesses to be able to provide for their families.

Feeding Programme

Continue to provide food parcels to struggling families. In Ghana we want to reach more rural areas where the need is the greatest. We will also continue support children especially during the Christmas Season.

The cost of living has highlighted the need for greater support for people especially those already living in abject poverty. We hope that we are able to continue to relieve or prevent poverty in families.
