The charity ended the year with 430
children having school fees paid so that
they can attend school, with 389 of these
having direct sponsors plus 41 who don’t
have direct sponsors being funded from
other donations and fund raising activity.
£26743 was raised from sponsors and the
charity paid a total of £27384 in school
fees. These children are now receiving an
education and school meals whereby their
families or carers could not have afforded
to pay for them to regularly attend school.
This improves education outcomes,
improving employment prospects in order
to break the cycle of poverty.
**Improving School Equipment and**
**Infrastructure**
£12,610 was spent on improving
infrastructure and equipment,
predominantly in schools. This included jiko
cookers being installed in 3 schools (fuel
