## **IRFF UK April 2023 to March 2024**
## Overview
## **1 Our Mission & Values**
**Vision** : Providing education for, relief to, and improving the health of disadvantaged people as well as enabling sustainable development to as many people and in as many countries as can properly be cared for.
## **Mission Statement** :
- •Providing financial support for ongoing programmes run by teams in the countries IRFF works with
- Providing financial start-up support for new initiatives which will aid the team/board in a given country to achieve medium to long-term self-sufficiency
- •Teaching management skills which a team/board can use locally to more efficiently communicate and manage their own affairs on the road to self-sufficiency
There are highly motivated people, primarily volunteers, in the countries we work with, prepared to deliver the services needed and strive to improve themselves to achieve higher levels of self-sufficiency.
Therefore, more can be achieved for the beneficiaries, even when funding from the UK may be limited. The programmes IRFF UK supports - such as Primary, Secondary, Vocational Education and health initiatives - are literally life savers and life changers for the beneficiaries.
All funds sent to Africa go directly to the people who will spend it charitably - and account for it. It is not channelled through any "extractive" system.

_The value of education in African countries_ cannot be underestimated. Poor educational levels frustrate all efforts to raise the living standards of a population above subsistence level and very few can break out of a poverty cycle without higher skills. Education is a human right, a powerful driver of development, and one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health, gender equality, peace, and stability.
For example, the young people in the _**Slovo Study Group**_ are offered online learning at secondary level + special tutoring at a level which they could never obtain locally. Equally the continued work of the _**Destiny primary school**_ in Uganda is growing successful while _**the literacy education being offered at a school in Walmer, Port Elizabeth, South Africa**_ is boosting the ability of children to learn there. and _**education of 60 street children in the DR Congo**_ , unimaginable for them without the efforts of the HFC team in Goma as well as _**the school in Senegal**_ all contributed to giving a quality education to the next generations in Africa– see more in the descriptions below.
Regarding _period poverty_ The World Bank estimates that _at least 500 million women and girls_ globally lack access to the facilities they need to manage their periods. Just _in South Africa alone up to 7 million schoolgirls_ do not have access to or cannot afford sanitary products, and many of them must stay home. They often use unhygienic methods to manage their periods which can cause health problems and infections. Often, girls and women must choose between buying food or sanitary products because of the costs. When faced with this difficult choice, many choose to purchase food as it is more of a priority. As a result, many must face the health and social consequences of not having sanitary products.
The _**GirlChild project in Uganda**_ had long been supported by IRFF UK from 2015 to finance _education of schoolgirls about menstrual health_ and also _how to make their own reusable pads._ This was paused halfway through 2022 but was re-launched under new leadership from March 2023 and throughout the financial year 2023/2024 ultimately serving up to 400 girls in three schools in Uganda – but this time providing disposable
pads because reusables would be too much for the young girls to manage in the absence of adequate parental support.
_**WAIT Ghana**_ launched their period poverty project fully in early February 2023 and throughout the financial year 2023/2024 ultimately serving up to 574 girls in a number of villages in Ghana with reusable pads they had made by seamstresses which should last for 2-4 years. Finally _**Walmer Angels South Africa**_ launched their period poverty project in early 2023 and throughout the financial year 2023/2024 serving primary school girls in a school in Walmer, Port Elizabeth, in this case disposable pads because water is so scarce in that area.
_**The period poverty projects**_ are in a class of their own but, in part, could be also be seen as a sub-classification of _**Education**_ since the girls supported can gain back the ability, comfortably and safely to attend school also during the days they are menstruating, no longer losing about 20% of their schooling days that they would otherwise lose. There are also other education benefits which the headmistress of Destiny School in Uganda describes eloquently under “ _GirlChild period poverty project_ ” below
Under the classification “ _**TVET – Technical and Vocational Education**_ ”, one project had to be dropped at the end of March 2024 and that was GESTP in Gambia, since communication became almost non-existent. IRFF UK was not actively funding the project but an IRFF UK trustee was from the USA, but still IRFF UK had some management obligations there, so it was decided to move on and find other projects. However the work under “TVET” continued in a small way on Ghana with training being offered to young women both in baking/bread and cake making and sewing/dressmaking.
The Gambia project was rapidly replaced by another classification of projects “ _**Soup kitchens**_ ” after a plea for help was received from the Walmer Angels in Port Elizabeth since they were not able to raise the funds to run a soup kitchen feeding 500 old people and children their one meal a day in the Walmer township.
## **DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO**
Following on from the loss of the old building in volcano lava, at the end of April a charity TAD stated that they were prepared to pay for upkeep of the 60 orphans if they are all housed at one location, which meant that Ben's team had to build a house/shelter for them costing at least $7,500.
That project is for 5 years and after this time all 60 children will already be integrated into youth centres for learning trades. Other orphans can be added along the way as some get older _._ TAD offered to fund the new house with $1,000 leaving the rest to be found by IRFF UK, WCA in the UK and local volunteers.
To cut a long story short IRFF UK fundraised £1,561 in the year for that and sent £4,890 for building works but also food for the children and some medical costs. More arrived from WCA, TAD and local volunteers. After passing through various building phases they were just at the stage of putting in toilets by the end of March. Handover to TAD was being planned for May 2024.

## **GHANA**
WAIT Ghana made great strides in the year developing the period poverty project by having reusable pads made and distributing them in various villages as well as arranging for girls to be taught pastry/cake decoration, bread making and dress-making as the TVET activity. The WAIT Coordinator, Mrs Vivian Nkasia, made a number of trips to various villages, for example in May to the community of Wute, Logote, Lawui near the city of Akatsi in the Volta Region. There was another one in October in Akatsi donating reusable pads and providing education.
Many new people are reached in the villages but the travel costs can be high. The great advantage of issuing reusable pads is that they are to new girls every time which is why we estimate that that WAIT Ghana already reached 574 girls aby the end March.
Regarding the TVET projects Vivian wrote at the end of March:
1. For the sewing, two girls were registered in the same period (January 2024 and will graduate in June 2025). The madam wants them to graduate after three years but that is too long. We want to help more girls in a shorter period of 1 ½ years.
2. For the catering, we have one girl who started earlier in September and will graduate in April. The other girl started in January 2024 and she will graduate in July 2024. The training is only for six months; if they add baking that will take an additional 3 months.
3. We will register three new girls in August.

## **GAMBIA**
To investigate the state of the project, the country coordinator Margret and her sister visited Gambia from 18th June – 10th July. A lot of serious fundraising for project was done in the USA, not needing anything from the UK, a lot was also taken by another person as well to Gambia in June. The funding was needed to purchase two used manual sewing machines, to buy a pump for bore hole and to finance business training of Cohort 1 girls as well as the later graduating Cohort 2. Also to finance a GCCI trade fair presence at which girls could sell products they had hand-made to help finance a future business launch.
It was explained that amongst the current graduates there will be girls who can train the next cohorts of trainees. There are two provinces GESTP has identified which they could send graduates to next year – with each graduate doing maybe a 3 month stint each time.
A template for doing good bookkeeping in 2024 was created but unfortunately never used and communication over a period of 12-15 months became very sparse which is why IRFF UK pulled out of the project at 31[st] March 2024.

## **SOUTH AFRICA**
## SHINE Walmer
As the most unequal country in the world, South Africa faces significant challenges. Among 50 countries, South Africa ranks the worst in literacy. The 2016 Progress in International Reading Literacy (PIRLS) revealed that 8 out of 10 Grade 4 learners (9-10 years old) in South Africa cannot read for meaning.
Children cannot learn from one of the biggest sources of knowledge – books – if they cannot read. Literacy education opens up a world of learning to them and contributes strongly to them achieving much more in their lives – what every parent hopes for their children. The number of pupils in the SHINE programme has increased to 87 (41 boys to 46 girls).
A wonderful initiative is run by the Grade 5 and 6 Learners who have been trained by Pat and Joy to run the library. They are so proud of their role and each student wears a name badge stating that they are Library Assistants.
We were told “ _Your generous IRFF sponsorship has enabled our centre to run smoothly with sufficient stationery, quality teaching aids, coffee and tea refreshments for the double shift volunteers, a colourful library environment, tape strengthened and coded library books and learner library cards_ .”
A new safety fence to protect the SHINE facilities was funded and erected since it otherwise vulnerable to pilfering. Initiatives like SHINE play a fundamental and meaningful role in our society.

## **SOUTH AFRICA**
## **Slovo Study Group**
The Joe Slovo Study Group is a group of 8 teenagers who are schooling online through UCT Online.
They are following the South African Education Department’s CAPS Curriculum with the aim of completing high school at a Grade 12 level, the maximum achievable grade in the South African school system. It is estimated that this should take no longer than another 2 years for everyone to achieve their Matric Certificate.
2024 started off with quite a bang with various additional expenses beside the typical stationery requirements. The local team assisted a few additional children who are either related to these students or known to them, with school uniforms, stationery and school fees.
They also had to replace a charger and repair a laptop.
They enlisted the early intervention of tutors to ensure that the students get good grades in the critical final year of school..
The project coordinator Chantal started having conversations with the students to establish career choices for next year. At the end of March 2024 they still had time to apply for bursaries and grants for next year and to make a decision on this.
## **SOUTH AFRICA**
## Period poverty project
At least 3 out of 10 girls miss school every month because of period problems in South Africa so the Walmer School decided to do something about that. They were obliged to offer disposable pads because of a lack of water but that could change.
In 2024 IRFF funded the project from January providing disposable pads at a cost of £0.90 per girl per month; this includes menstrual health education given to girls, and boys, by a trained nurse. This is changing their lives for the better, removing a major reason for them missing school.
For example, in April 2023, the handing out of sanitary towels to schoolgirls in Port Elizabeth went very well. Jessica Lillian Bredenkamp, a qualified nursing sister, explained all the changes that take place in a young girls body when her monthly periods start. She did it with humour and there were lots of giggles. Each girl received 3 packets.

## The soup kitchen project
In early November 2023 the accountant for a number of projects, Cecilia, reached out to IRFF as follows:
“ _We run a soup kitchen providing a cooked meal to approximately 500 people (mostly children and the elderly) which operates from Monday to Friday, We are currently facing a significant challenge in sustaining our vegetable supply, as the cost of purchasing vegetables amounts to R5000 per week. Unfortunately, we are unable to maintain this expense, and it is impacting our ability to continue serving those in need. Our dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to cook nutritious meals and ensure that as many people as possible receive a warm meal each day. However, due to financial constraints, we were forced to close down another soup kitchen that we previously operated. It breaks our hearts to see people in this community going hungry, especially when our soup kitchen is often their only source of food for the day. We humbly request your support in the form of vegetable donations or financial assistance to help cover the cost of purchasing vegetables. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a significant difference in our ability to continue providing meals to those who rely on us_ .”

## **UGANDA**
## Destiny School
This school was established by IRFF UK in 2008. During the annual period the average number of pupils taught increased to 206.
The first part of the year was concerned with regular teaching and security wall Phase 4. There was also the need for the gate for protection from direct rain fall water and construction of a protective arch.
There was a very unpleasant case of poisoning at a Ugandan school and the government began to impress upon schools the need for increased security. We subsequently got into discussion with the Destiny School about a camera security system there and more fire extinguishers, both of which we financed.
Twelve Primary Seven candidates completed their Primary Leaving Examinations on 9th November 2023. All 12 sat the examination. Upon coming back they were very happy about completing their examinations and had a dance to celebrate. Two got first grades and the remaining 10 got super second grades. Almost all the children continued on to Senior Secondary School; the two best performing children were given full bursary (sponsorship) by the Grace Christian Secondary School Kayabwe and three were given a half bursary mainly because of their outstanding academic performance and talent in music, dance and drama.
Ugandan child. They were thankful for the underground well, the pump, the strong nice perimeter wall, the cameras, the beddings (mattresses, bedsheets and blankets) and the continuous children/teachers’ sponsorship. Which has helped to feed the school, pay staff salaries, cater for utilities and medical bills.
The head teacher has received very good feedback that all the former children of Destiny junior who continued to Senior Secondary School performed very well at the Uganda Certificate of Education.

## **PERIOD POVERTY PROJECTS**
Period poverty projects involving education of menstruating schoolgirls in menstrual health and also supplying them with pads were developed by local teams during the year in **Ghana** , **South Africa and Uganda;** funding was acquired for these from FFWPU UK.
**WAIT Ghana** developed a concept of getting reusable pads sewn by a sewing madam and visiting numerous villages in southern Ghana. In this way they reached about 600 schoolgirls.
In **South Africa** schoolgirls in Walmer were taught about health by a nurse and a social worker at their local school, which resulted in 170 girls receiving education and disposable pads (due to a lack of water for washing out reusable pads.
The GirlChild/WAIT team in **Uganda** immediately catered for 30 girls at Destiny School then about 200 more at the nearby Busabala School and even began to look after girls at a third school, Jjungo Church of Uganda Primary School, with approx. 150 more girls involved.
The effect of this work, particularly in Busabala School, went far beyond menstrual hygiene training and receipt of pads. As Jesca, the head teacher at Destiny School reported: “ Busabala Primary School.
The program has impacted the girl child so much and at every visit that we do and there is a reported increase in the number of girl child we assist. The girl children are studying better, are not losing days off school, are particularly Feeling cared for and loved. Jjungo Church Of Uganda Primary School This is extremely in a village set up, the parents and guardians do not value education as much as elsewhere, and the
pupils are also less caring towards education, enter into early child hood marriages and stay away from school during the rainy sessions, planting and harvesting seasons. Much work to do there.

The significant differences in the financials in the year 2023/2024 compared to the previous financial year were:
## **On the income side**
1. **The overall income** in 2023/2024 was £5,620 less than in the previous year due to a reduction in the funding for Senegal dropping by £8,988 but this meant that the core funding for other IRFF projects rose by £3,368 at a time when charities were suffering a drop on average of 8% of income in that period.
2. **General donations** , mainly from the charity shop, dropped by £2,000 but Gift Aid, including some charity shop sales, increased by £3,330
3. **The GirlChild Project in Uganda** joined the group of new period poverty projects and **MMT** income and **Gambia** income disappeared altogether.
4. **Destiny School sponsorship** income dropped a little but the **Destiny School infrastructure** project income increased by almost £6,000
5. Other items for South Africa like **SHINE Walmer School P.E.** , **Slovo Study Group** and the **Walmer Angels soup kitchen** increased while some income arrived to offset the high **DR Congo** costs and the incomes for **period poverty projects** rose significantly (by £4,729).
## **On the expenditure side** :
1. **The overall costs** in 2023/2024 were just £4,871 less than in the previous year due to a reduction in the costs for **Senegal** of £8,984 and there were no further costs for **Sri Lanka** , **MMT Uganda** and the **Girl Health and Support Uganda** project (the latter being absorbed into the new period poverty projects).
2. An increase in costs was seen for **fundraising** , **DR Congo** (as the last year of funding, helping to build a new building) and the **Slovo Study Group** .
3. A decrease in costs was experienced for **Office costs** , **Ghana TVET** , and **SHINE S.A.** (no infrastructure costs in the period).
4. The **Destiny School child/teacher sponsorship** costs were marginally higher while the last series of **Destiny School infrastructure projects** for now were £4,400 higher than in the previous year.
IRFF UK finished the year ending 31[st] March 2024 with £16,641 in reserves consisting of: £13,734 in **General Funds** , £1,828 in the **Destiny School fund** , £980 in the new **period poverty projects fund** and £99 in the **SHINE fund** .
The overall figure was just £726 more than last year’s figure.
## **Plans for the period 1[st] April 2024 to 31[st] March 2025**
This period will be characterised by:
- **Primary and Secondary Education** as preparation for adult life; _possibly adding more project_ s
- **Vocational Training of Young Women** as preparation for employment in adult life; _possibly adding more project_
- **Health related** (and **education related** ) **projects** like menstrual hygiene management and providing girls with menstrual products - having projects in 4 or even 5 countries by end of March 2025.
- **Raising the number of persons supported in Africa** from 3,000 to 4,000+
- **Paying for building wells/bore holes** providing people with clean water, including water for irrigation purposes, etc.
- For the project using up General Funds from the Tricycle Shop, **at least £13,000 more to be found** for the Ghana TVET project, the Slovo Study Group, SHINE Walmer S.A., the Walmer Angels soup kitchen, PP projects, Destiny School Uganda as well as £3,000 for new projects.
- **More fundraising capability** , whether through grants, online FR, corporate FR, snail-mail mail outs, individual giving, +++
- **More management capacity** with at least two more people ready to assist at any time.
We welcome all offers of support to serve current and future beneficiaries and thank you all in advance for any intentions in that direction.
