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 continues to provide essential school supplies to 17 beneficiaries who have faced considerable obstacles in accessing education. This initiative has not only enabled these students to attend school but has also supported their personal growth, development, and long-term prospects. The impact extends beyond the individual, creating a positive ripple effect for their families and the wider community, and reinforcing the principle that education is a fundamental right. In response to a swine flu outbreak in Autumn 2024, three schools requested emergency support to fund meals for 200 pupils over a two-month period. Thanks to retained donations, we were able to meet this urgent need without compromising our core programs. Additionally, we made a small discretionary donation to the family of one of our beneficiaries to help restore their home’s roof, which was severely damaged during a recent typhoon. This gesture reflects our commitment to supporting the broader well-being of those we serve, especially in times of crisis. |
