## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|**Alleviating poverty by building**<br>**sustainable income generating skills**<br>**centres (Enterprise Academies - EA) in**<br>**developing nations.  These skills**<br>**centres prepare young people for**<br>**gainful work and also facilitate the**<br>**emergence of relevant local income**<br>**generating enterprises.  Our focus is**<br>**initially on Sierra Leone but we believe**<br>**that the EAI model can be successfully**<br>**replicated in other developing nations.**|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|**Our work inherently helps the above**<br>**aims with the provision of a training**<br>**building, skills training, tools and other**<br>**resources.  The land is provided by the**<br>**local community.  Our first (pilot) EA**<br>**has been built in Kafogo village in the**<br>**Northern territory of Sierra Leone. We**<br>**now support another project in Kenema**<br>**which is operating successfully where**<br>**two training rooms have been dedicated**<br>**to the project by Pastor Emmanuel**<br>**Bobor. This project continues to flourish**<br>**with individual lives and families in the**<br>**Kenema community gaining skills and**<br>**gainful employment.**|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|**None of the trustees have gained any**<br>**financial or material benefit from the**<br>**activities or the funding of the charity**|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**The main training building has been**<br>**completed in Kafogo but it still needs**<br>**internal tiling, power cabling and a solar**<br>**PV system with batteries.  The charity**<br>**has provided a diesel generator to**<br>**produce power but due to exorbitant**<br>**costs of fuel it is hoped that funding can**<br>**be generated to purchase a stand alone**<br>**solar PV system with sufficient power**<br>**storage and supply.**<br>**The young people in the community**<br>**have gained new building skills whilst**<br>**working with experienced local builders**<br>**in the construction of our first EA**<br>**building.**<br>**We’ve provided more manual sewing**<br>**machines for the EAI project in Kenema**<br>**which are being used to train young**<br>**people in tailoring and dress making**<br>**skills.  This is proving very popular**<br>**amongst both male and female**<br>**community members that are taking**<br>**part in the training with a view to using**<br>**the skills and machines we’ve supplied**<br>**to generate income.  Two training rooms**<br>**have been provided by Pastor**<br>**Emmanuel Bobor as the EAI hosting site**<br>**in Kenema. Those being supported in**<br>**setting up other small local enterprises**<br>**are doing well and selling their produce.**<br>**This includes community members**<br>**selling their palm oil in the local**<br>**markets.**|





## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|**The development of a second EA site in**<br>**Kenema with the local oversight of**<br>**Pastor Emmanuel Bobor has had**<br>**significant impact on the pace of**<br>**progress the project which serves to**<br>**provide skills training and local income**<br>**generating enterprise.**|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|**We’re still seeking to appoint another**<br>**trustee who will be responsible in part**<br>**for attracting funding in future.**|
|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|**Funding has mainly come from trustees**<br>**directly; which was used to pay**<br>**experienced builders to work with and**<br>**train the young people in Kafogo in the**<br>**construction of the EAI building. The**<br>**charity primarily operates through**<br>**facilitation and the provision of start -up**<br>**resources rather than financial support.**<br>**Our aim includes encouraging self**<br>**determination and independence for**<br>**sustainable growth and development.**<br>**Our new project in Kenema is making**<br>**significant progress due to the effective**<br>**local oversight of Pastor Emmanuel**<br>**Bobor who has trusted relational links**<br>**with the community. Trustees have**<br>**provided for resources for project**<br>**trainees to train and set up small**<br>**profitable enterprises.  Trainees have**<br>**come from diverse extreme**<br>**circumstances.  This includes providing**<br>**them with a way out from drugs and**<br>**other ilicit damaging involvements.**|
