Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | UK Mauritius Charity (UKMC) has continued to support the “Shelter For Women and Children In Distress Trust Fund” to fund computer lessons, school materials and everyday essentials for disadvantaged children. We have maintained a great relationship with this Mauritian organisation and have kept in touch to make sure that our donors’ contributions are still making a difference. UKMC ceased supporting 4 Tilapat, an organisation it had supported for a year as it was changing into a new project. As per our governance document, the charity chose a new second Mauritian organisation to support. After doing due diligence by looking at the activities and the public accounts of the organisation, UKMC chose We-Recycle, an environmental organisation engaged in increasing awareness about recycling and maintaining a number of recycling points. We-Recycle have been able to use our grants for these activities, for example, awareness drives for school children, donation of recycling bins and collection drives in certain villages. |
