Training and advice on mental health, special educational needs, learning difficulties and physical disabilities can also be given via electronic communication / phone calls or during visits to Rwanda. The charity may also support the initiation, development and sustainability of co-operatives, social enterprises or other income generating work in Rwanda. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | There were no charitable activities in the first year, as such the Trustees have not risked departing from the guidance.
