## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From Jan 2021 Period start date To Dec 2021 Period end date** ## **Charity name: 1 John 3:17-18 Beira** ## **Charity registration number: 1191669** ## **Objectives and Activities, Achievements and Performance** ## The objects of the charity are: The prevention or relief of poverty in Beira and/or other areas in Mozambique by providing: grants, items and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. The organisation carries out its purposes by making grants to help individuals in need, either directly where the individuals need is verifiable by the trustees (for instance, providing individual medical expenses), or to trusted individuals or organisations who have demonstrated honesty and capability to manage grants for the good of the poor. ## Charitable activities in 2021 Each month a list of needs is created by the local team of volunteers in Beira (see photo), and those needs which can be funded are agreed. 1 John 3:1718 Beira then sends the money. At the end of each month a report is received confirming how the funds were used, and providing photographs of the work, ensuring accountability. The charity currently supports around seventy of the poorest people with food and fuel. We have built more than ten houses for those whose homes were demolished, and repaired many more. We support nursing students, apprentices, and those doing short term courses (IT, electrician, baking). We have provided business loans to around ten people. We have provided nearly a hundred fuel efficient stoves and planted over fifty trees. Members of Associacao Esperanca Aos Vulneravies ## Meeting immediate needs The local team are passionate to improve the chances for the poor. At the most immediate level this involves providing food, fuel and medication for those who simply have no income. Blankets have been given to help keep warm at night in winter. Mosquito nets have been given out too. Some of the beneficiaries receiving food, oil, soap and blankets Materials and where necessary labour are provided for repairing houses, adding cyclone protection measures and building new houses where homes have been destroyed. Innovative and environmentally friendly approaches to construction are being investigated, such as using waste plastic bottles as building material. Before and after photos of a house provided by the project New roof to replace one lost to the cyclone ## Education and training, and earning a living In addition, the project is able to make grants for school fees and uniforms, and for training and apprenticeships. These often cost less than £50 each but give the beneficiary a future. Small start-up business loans are made to pay for initial stock or in one case to buy a small cart to transport goods. Again these loans are often less than £50, and the recipients pay back as they can so that funds can be used for future loans. ## Environmental projects that help the community The team have worked with a local potter to design and manufacture efficient cooking stoves which not only save the user money by needing less charcoal, but also reduce CO2 emissions. These cost under £3 each and are sold to those who can afford them or given freely to those who cannot. The fuel-efficient stoves in use, with the potter who worked with the team to develop them Some tree planting has been carried out, with a first batch of fifty five trees being planted costing a little over £1 each. The local team are engaging pastors to encourage their members to plant trees. The first batch of trees ready to distribute and plant ## Charitable spend overview As we can see from the description above, some project activities are ongoing (Subsistence support: food provision and medical expenses) and others are ‘development’ (Improved housing, water and sanitation, training courses and education, environmental). The chart below shows the proportion of spend on different categories: As the description and chart above show, activities that are funded are for the public benefit. The charity is run by volunteers and there are not charitable expenses in UK. The item labelled ‘wages and transport’ are the proportion allocated by our partner organisation in Beira, Associacao Esperanca Aos Vulneravies. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The charity’s governing document is a deed of trust. It is a charitable trust. Trustees must be appointed by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special.
