OBJECTIVESANDACTivmES
Objertlves and alrffs
The principal objertives of EHRA UK are to support Elephant Human Relations Aid operating in
Namibia to promote, for the berrfrt of the publiG the wotection and conservation of African
bush elephants ILoxodonts Africana) by supporting consepiation arKI education project&
In particular but not exdusi¥dy, the charity will further the ath)ve objects by making grants of
financial a$5istsnce to support the charltsble work of Elephant Human Relations Ald. a
Namibian registered not-for-gain or8ani5ation (registration number 21/2￿316301.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
In this, our second full period as a registered charity, the Trustees had to make significant
efforts in fundraising from known 5UPPOrters to help sUPPOrt the organisational and ground
operations of EHRA in Namlbia which had been hit very hard by flwds and the slow pick up in
volunteers after the pandemic. Without the prospect of recruiting enough volunteer5 to visit
Namibia to work on the ground supporting the local projects, it was left to the local 5tsff to
manage these as best as they were able. to ensure the sustainability in the short to medium
tenn. The Trustees remain very positive about the future of the projects operating in Namibia.
The projects we funded in Namibia are back on track and the volunteer teams began to again
arrive in country. The projects we funded continued to tske a moTe holistic approach to
conserve the elephants. by addressing every area of people's lives that elephants negatively
affect and finding practical solutions to mitigate each one. Conflict in the eastern areas remains
rife.
The camp and education centre were rebuilt and are now open and functioning effectively.
We also continued to support the new environmentsl education program, the S.E.E.D. Project
An inspiring and infomiative curriculum and workbook were created and the project received
fomial approvals from the Ministry of Education in both regions a5 well as from NIED (National
Institute for Educational Development).
We all feel very proud of this projecL
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Our aim going forward 15 to continue to support the ongoing development and inrtiatives of
EHRA in Namibia, in particular the PEACE projecL and elephant safety education project. Going
forwanl in 2024, finding wothable solutions for the commercial farms so that the idea of a
corridor betsveen the commercial and communal lands become5 3 reality, poses our biggest
challenge.
TRANSAcnoNS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
As a small charity with income under the threshold requirement for a full audit The Trustees
prepared the accounts on a Receipts and Payments basis. These have been independently
examined.
Thi5 report reflects our first period of operation a5 an incorporated entity, registered with
Charity Commission on 5th November 2021. The surplus of funds raised prior to this have been
included as income to the newly incorporated charity..
Detsils of the financial transactions of EHRA UK are given in the accounts. We continue to rely
on individual donations mainly through our known network of supporters using specific
campaigns Such as 'Adopt an Elephanv We also had to react to the floods that hit the country
and the projects. This focussed our hjndraising efforts.
We will continue to use the Paypal and Just Giving platforms to accept the donatlons as these
are easily and SecU￿lY acce55ible to supporters. The surplus on the year and therefore the totsl
funds carried forwaftl £27.340
