Charitable activities in 2022
Each month a list of needs is created by the leader of the “Associacao Esperanca Aos Vulneravies” in Beira and those needs which can be funded are agreed. 1 John 3:17-18 Beira then sends the money. At the end of each month a report is received confirming how the funds were used, often providing photographs of the work, ensuring accountability.
Through the Association (Associacao Esperanca Aos Vulneravies) our charity helped
-
around 30 of the poorest families with food and fuel.
-
10 students who are doing professional courses like nursing ,teaching ,medicine
-
10 who are doing technical courses like ,mechanics ,electronics ,construction
-
we have around 40 whom we have helped in primary and secondary school. Some we help in part and the parents also help in part ,whilst others we cover most of the things.
Each month we are giving people chlorine and water containers to prevent cholera which is still in Mozambique.
During the year we built 2 houses, and repaired others. We built toilets for some houses who had none. We are helping some families who are homeless with money to pay monthly rentals
We help those who cannot afford to buy medication ,the association is helping and through the nurses who we are training helping those who cannot afford to hire a nurse to inject them at home, providing that service for free.
On environmental improvement, the Association have started planting acácia seeds rather than buying a big tree, to save cost.
The Association 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. People are pleased about the efficiency of the improved stoves.
Since the Association is 100% funded by our charity, we began trying to futureproof the income of the Association. We donated the funds to buy and instal a carpentry machine and establish a carpentry business run by the Association. This generates a monthly income (and work) for the Association, with a regular contribution to the charitable activities of approximately 5% of the cost of the machine.
Charitable spend overview
As we can see from the description above, some project activities provide subsistence support (food provision and medical expenses) and others are improving the future (Improved housing, water and sanitation, training courses and education, environmental, carpentry business). In 2022 over two thirds of the work was improving the future.
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.
