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		The charity has had a successful 2024. Starting with receiving football kits and sports equipment donations, shipping the donations to Zimbabwe and being able to travel to Zimbabwe to distribute the donations in person as the chair of the foundation. However, throughout the year we managed to hold games including football, basketball, volleyball and making sure the “girl” child is also our priority in whatever we do with our cluster of schools in Zimbabwe. We also successfully invited an African poet to perform at a UK school, a Czech Republic based African drummer to perform at a UK school and a Bristol based African dance and music group to perform at a UK school as part of Black History month and Inclusion and cultural diversity initiative in October 2024. So far, our biggest achievement as a foundation was taking UK students on a cultural exchange trip to Africa - Zimbabwe in 2018.
