With reference drawn to the guidance provided by the Charity Commission on public benefit, we had streamlined our focus for the immediate future as thus: • supporting existing schools in Africa, including building new structures, if required, improving standards and supporting teacher training • providing basic supplies, such as children’s clothes and shoes, books and other personal or educational supplies to help families, children and schools in Africa that are unable to afford them. • providing payments of fees for instruction, examination, or other Summary of the main activities undertaken for the expenses connected with formal education, vocational training, public benefit in relation to language, literacy, numerical or technical skills these objects (include within this section the statutory We have particularly made impact in the provision of basic supplies, declaration that trustees have such as children’s clothes and shoes, books and other personal or had regard to the guidance educational supplies to help families, children and the school in issued by the Charity Jago Community as they are unable to afford these items. Commission on public benefit)

During meetings with the Chief and Council of the community, grave concerns had consistently been expressed about challenges faced by young girls in the only school situated within the community: period poverty. We have been informed about how period poverty causes girls and female teachers to have poor attendance as they are unable to attend school on days when they are going through their menstrual cycle. Therefore, we provided 550 sanitary towels, which even though was a scratch on the surface, but have been reported to have made a positive impact on attendance during that period.

In going forward, we are exploring opportunities and solutions for a more sustainable, hygienic and environment-friendly approach.
