Introducing The Kaloleni Project
The Kaloleni Project is a new charity, it was registered in February 2023; thus this is the trustees’ first report and covers the charity’s opening months only.
The Kaloleni Project has been formed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the objective of alleviating poverty. We aim to work, primarily in the UK but our constitution also allows for activity and spending some in other parts of the world.
We intend to do this by providing grant support to individuals, other charities, and other organisations as appropriate.
The charity has undertaken neither income generation nor spending in this first period.
All expenses incurred in registering the charity have been borne by the founding trustees, who have also claimed no expenses in this period. This is reflected in the brief accounts included with this report.
Vision
Our intent is to be a vehicle for our community to support those in need.
Our constitution allows this in a broad sense by establishing our charitable object as addressing poverty.
Future grants will prevent or alleviate poverty by assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare and support to enable individuals to be self-sufficient.
We envisage the charity developing the capacity and skills of disadvantaged members of our communities in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help themselves to meet, their needs, and thus to participate more fully in society.

will allow us to operate effectively and transparently in the future.
We have been somewhat frustrated by difficulties in arranging banking facilities, with several high street banks declining to service a brand new organisation that may be transferring monies abroad.
As a result of these administrative issues, trustees chose not to undertake any fundraising activities or make any grants in this period.
Plans for 2024
Our plans for the coming year are to:
-
recruit additional trustees
-
open a bank account
-
develop a fundraising strategy
-
generate our first funding
However, we do not anticipate commencing any grant giving or other expenditure in 2024.
