Slnce 2009, the Adult Rape Clinlc (ARC) has offered hope and healing to survivors of sexual vlolence In Zlmbabwe. What began as thè country's Survivors receive medical treatment, medico- flrst comprehenslve cllnlc dedicated to survlvors 18gal s8rvlc8s. and psychological support from ha8 grown into a lifeline for thousands in th8 midst trained nurse counsellors, psychologists and of a rape epidemic that primarily affects young safeguarding officers who understand trauma. people and childrèn. Communities receive life-saving information and are resourced to protect survivors on their path to justlc8 and care. Outreach encourag&s all stakeholders to work together to end rape culture in their communities. In 2022, Zimbabweans in the UK formed the Partnership on Rape Aftercare (PORA), a charity that raises funds and builds partnerships to support ARC'S crltlcal work. OUR VISION W8 dream of a Zimbabwè whèr8 no one lives in fear of sexual vlolence, because it's not just illegal, it's unthinkable. In that future, every child, woman. and man is safe, respected, and empowered to live with dignity. Survivors recolve carg that heals. not just physlcally, but emotionally too. na rtdlpelwo mukana With funding from PORA and expert support from ARC, help is there when it's needed most.

LEGAL & ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Charity Number 1197779 Registered Address 85 GREAT PORTLAND STREET LONDON W1W 7LT Trustees Chipo Chung (Chair) Yvonne Kuimba Henry Makiwa Rhoda Molife Gardner Mugashu (Treasurer) Carol Nyahasha (Secretary) Bank Details The Co-operative Bank Account Name: PORA ZIMBABWE Independent examiner's report by: Admire Chatiza (ICAEW)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2024 was PORA'S second operational year and the charity moved quickly to support and stabilise the Adult Rape Clinic (ARC) in Zimbabwe, while building its online presence and strengthening roles and responsibilities on the board in the United Kingdom. In February, the charity's convenor Chipo Chuné joined the Board of Trustees and became the Chairperson, and in April, a new trustee Gardner Mugashu joined the Board as Treasurer. PORA'S founding Secretary Carol Nyahasha remained in place, with Henry Makiwa and Rhoda Molife focusing on ARC'S communications strategy in a working group alongside the Chair, and Yvonne Kuimba ensuring aliénment with the ARC Board of Trustees by coordinating a cross-board committee. With no paid employees, all Trustees actively worked to ensure that PORA delivered its urgent communications and f undraising strategy. Working with Tamassy, London-based digital media desién studio, the Communications Workiné Group delivered a comprehensive and attractive website, includiné commissioned video materials, links to the donor platform JustGiviné, and to newly 8Stablished social media pages on Instagram, Facebook, X and Linkedln. Tamassy generously offered a charitable rate for their dynamic and professional service. Th8 Chair hosted on-site vi81ts to ARC'S headquarters in Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare, introducing philanthropic donor8 to nurse coun8ellors, psychologists, trustees and key staff at the Adult Rape Clinic, to hear first-hand about their life- saviné intervention, and the challenées faced in a volatile economic environment with ever-shrinking resources. The key findinés from ARC'S statistical analysis of the previous year were shockiné, namely, that 80/0 of their clients in the precediné year were under 18 years old, 65°A were under 16 years old, and 40/0 were under 12 years old. The uréent need for the care of minors, and the commitment of the staff to work at 40°A of their contracted salaries to keep the clinics, doors open, moved donors associated with the CAF American Donor Fund to pledÉe three-year funding towards the institutional core costs of the Adult Rape Clinic. This funding, overseen by PORA through quarterly budget reviews, has stabilised ARC, allowing all five clinics across Zimbabwe to remain operational, and enabling ARC'S Director to bring more in-country partners on board, including former funders such as UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund). PORA'S support has given ARC confidence that their vital essential service will be protected and sustained.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (CONT'D) PORA built a partnership with TrustBridge Global, a giving platform that allows donors resident in Canada, United States of America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland to obtain a tax certificate for their donations. This facility will allow PORA to develop an international fundraising strategy in the coming years. Building PORA'S brand within the Zimbabwean diaspora community remains a key objective, in terms of both f undraisiné and f riend-raisiné. PORA was the sponsored charity at the Allan Wilson Old Boys, Association Ball in Reading, with Trustee Rhoda Molife éiviné a presentation to over 100 Zimbabwean diasporans, and the Board offering prizes for a raff le that won £500 for the charity. PORA ended the year with a nomination for the Community Impact Award at the ZIDO (Zimbabweans in th8 Diaspora Organisation) Business Expo in Harare in December 2024, with PORA winning the Runner Up Award at a packed conference of corporate and diaspora leaders. RS (Photo: Chipo Chung receiving award from ZIDO Chair Blessed Kapesa) The impact of PORA'S work in 2024-2025 has been transformative for the Adult Rape Clinic. The institutional Érant from the CAF American Donor fund contributed to ARC'S overall output: 2,750 survivors accessed medical counselling services, 3,991 therapy sessions took place, and 21,000 community members were reached throuéh educational outreach activities. PORA specifically sponsors the remote rural clinic in Gokwe South, so funds from CAF directly supported the programme costs and outputs of this clinic, ensuring that 406 survivors of sexual violence directly accessed services and 5,264 community members were enÉaéed through outreach activities. Without PORA'S solidarity, advocacy and fundraising efforts, ARC'S innovative and essential model would have closed its operations in 2024. The major objective of stabilisation has been achieved, with a strategy developing to consolidate, strengthen and build resources for a more sustainable future for the Adult Rape Clinic in Zimbabwe.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It was constituted as a body corporate under Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011 on 6 November 2021 and was registered with the Charity Commission on 3 February 2022. The Trustees are legally responsible for the governance and management of the Charity. Trustees are responsible for setting strategies and policies and ensuring these are implemented. A Communications Working Group was set up to build PORA'S presence on line. The Governance Sub-committee hosted cross-committee meetings with the ARC Board and the ARC Management Team, particularly inducting their new Finance Manager. Key activities includ8d: 1. Reporting to the Network for Social Change on their 2028 grant, which enabled the Gokwe Clinic to re-open and operate for twelve months. 2.Grant-writing to support new projects, including the film COURAGE awareness raising media intervention on the issue of early/ child marriage. 8.

RISK MANAGEMENT The charity's trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have reviewed potential risks. Systems and procedures have been put in place to manage risks and to mitigate any adverse outcomes. Although the Board has set up a reserves policy defining that our main bank account will hold an amount equivalent to 3 months of budgeted expenses, trustees are still working towards achieving this, balancing the urgent financial needs of the partner organisation in Zimbabwe. The Board is aware of the risk of burn-out in an entirely voluntary-based organisation, and are working towards mitigation through f uture employment of consultants to support the Board's grant-writing and administrative capacity. OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES Th8 governing document for the Charity sets out the primary objective of PORA as being to: 1.Raise funds (through grants, donations and th& lik8) that support and promote the work of ARC 2.ARC seeks to provide holistic care and services for victims of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse in Zimbabwe, as well as prevention, advocacy and awareness-raising about sexual and gender-based violence.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS Case Study: Working together to imagine a new future In the small village of Nyamatoo, Burma Valley. four women Nyarai. Rudo. Sibongile. and Tambudzani were victims of child marriages, teen preÉnancies, and unemployment. Despite these struggle8, they were determined to improve their lives and support their families. In December 2024, ARC provided them with 25 broiler chicks along with training in chlcken rearlng. feeding, and health management. They were also given access to markets for selllng thelr produce. Initially, the young women were skeptical about their ability to succeed in the poultry business, given their limited experience and concerns about potential challenges. li By mld-January. the chlcks had grown into healthy, plump chickens, and the women proudly sold their first 5 chickens. The impact of this project extended beyond financial gains. The women's confidence and self-esteem f lourished. In a community wher8 child marriages, teen pregnancies. and unemployment had once seemed overwhelming, Nyarai, Rudo, Sibongile, and Tambudzani became shining examples of what can be achieved with determination, hard work, and the right support. Their journey inspires others in the village to believe in their potential and pursue new opportunities for a better future. However, with the support of ARC and each other, they worked tirelessly to make their venture a success. As weeks passed. their dedication began to show results. They learned how to properly care for the chicks, including feeding, bedding, and health checks. They also implemented a flnanclal management system to maxlmize their investment. An economic empowerment program for a support group costs £350, providing both training and basic supplies with which to start a small business •.IP!l.l• 13
