**through:**
-**_High quality education_**from
kindergarten 1&2 till basic 3 in
Kankaboom Children’s School which
is built by the charity and is regularly
adjusted to meet the needs of our
students, staff and the local
community.
-**_Family social support_**to encourage
families to help themselves in the
long run, e.g., by us providing microgrants,
loans, or resources to start
businesses to support their own
families in the future.
-**_medical care for families in rural_**
**_communities_**_(after assessment and_
_if logistically and financially possible)_
to provide transportation to hospital
assist in purchasing treatments to
most common illnesses. Where
possible the Happiness Project Ghana will| |||take community members
to the hospital and covers their costs
as well as educating them on how to
spot symptoms in the future and the
importance of health care. The
charity also organises clinics to be
run through the community to test
community members for illnesses
such as HIV, Malaria or Diabetes for
free and provide treatment if tested
positive.
-**_Guaranteed free medical_**
**_insurance_**, for students and staff of
Kankaboom Childrens’s School:
Which does not cover all
treatment/medication but does
reduce the cost of most. The cost of
medical insurance for a child is £2.50
per year. Every student is enrolled in
the Ghanaian medical insurance
system.
-**_Implemented feeding_program**
which guarantees every student a
healthy and nutritious lunch during

clean water is constantly given for
our staff and students.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The financial position at the end of the
financial period is healthy. Although there
were more expenses than income in 2022,
as the school reopened and many
renovations were carried out, the Charity did
not encounter any significant financial
problems because of the financial assets
from 2021. The assets at the end of this
year's financial period are also large enough
to start safely into the upcoming financial
period.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Since the goal in 2021 was to accumulate a
significant amount of savings in order to
have enough money for the renovation and
maintenance of the school in 2022, we
started 2022 with some reserves. We had
more expenses than income in most months
in 2022, but we were able to clarify early on
how big the monthly fixed costs are and
adjust our expenses accordingly. In addition,
we use donations that reach us via the
PayPal account as a savings account to
always have enough reserves to be able to
react in emergencies or new renovations.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|The total reserves, including the 2021
reserves as well as income and expenditure
in this financial period are: £7,648.60| |Reasons for holding zero
