Para 1.20	Fundraising by New Routes UK has enabled our Kenyan NGO to support 4 full time university students.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	Our objective was to raise sufficient funding to allow New Routes Foundation to continue mentoring, discipling, and educating our first round of students. This objective was met as we gained enough funds for each student to continue with the programme. In addition, we also acquired more funds than necessary for each student to guarantee continuation of the programme for each student for another year. A second objective was to raise sufficient funds to allow New Routes Foundation to employ local Kenyan staff. This objective was met as we gained enough unrestricted funds to continue the employment of a local Kenyan staff member.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	We are very pleased with the progress made to date and have been able to support 4 students and 1 local Kenyan employee in our second year which is in line with our objectives.
