The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year Educate the Orphans is a small Christian charity working in Kenya wth orphaned and needy children. Our goals are primarily to feed, clothe and educate dests-tute children, with the emphasis mainly on education. We have been active in Tharaka, Kenya since 1990 and in that time we have built and run seven schools which currently educate and feed over 3,000 children. Educate the Orphans do not run an orphanage but instead we assist wider family circles to take the orphanedlneedy children into their homes to give them a family upbringing, whilst Educate the Orphans shoulder the financial burden. We operate a family orientated charity V￿th sponsorship being our main source of funding, ￿ere the children are adopted" by our donors. We encourage communication bet￿een our sponsors and the children. Most of the children educated by Educate the Orphans are now fully employed - some of them as teachers, pastors, dressmakers, shoemakers, etc. with some even working for Educate the Orphans. Others are in the government, police and army and some work for the office for the President of Kenya including Shadrack (Chief Financial Officer for the county of Tharaka). Eluid (Deputy Governor of Tharaka) and John (a bishop in EPAC). Educate The Orphans Trustees. Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity s purpose for the public benefit 2023 was a very difficult year for the Kenyan people due to sustained drought and high inflation. however we are pleased to report that thanks to God's provision ETO was once again able to feed, clothe and educate the poor and needy orphans of Tharaka, Kenya. Many of our children continue to excel in their studies, at schools, colleges, and universities. Livingstone our ETO Kenyan director reported that, 'all our ETO children received their school fees as per the budget and we had no case of drop out due to lack of school fees,. We continue to publish photographs of former ETO children on our website, showng the prominent jobs and positions they now hold in industries ￿lch as in Business and Government. Many of our children Continue to leam horticulture and agriculture as part of their school studies on ourtwo ETO Farms. This year we also purchased an additional 6 acres of land right beside our school in Mungana Anna which will be used for famiing, increasing food produGtion (to help us feed our children) and as an additional resource to continue to teach HortlGulture, Agriculture and ETO'S programme 'farming Gods way, to our children. During this year we have been able to increase food production on our farms. This has helped to protect ETO from rising inflation and food ¢osts while at the same time ensuring our children can eat a More balanced diet. Thanks to the amazing generosity of ETO sponsors and donors we were able to meet the needs of many hundreds of people. Obeying Jesus's command that'you feed them., Having sent over £129,000 this year the ETO trustees are satisfied that all elements of Public Benefit requirements are being met and adhered to. Educate The Orphans Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 Direct Benefrts flowng from the purposes include.. The provision of free education, such as the teaching of basic literacy, numeracy and lrfe skills which can enable the beneficiaries to find employment in the future or, at a minimum, to be able to read and write, from nursery school up to and including secondary school, under the Kenyan Government curriculum. We also help support some students through technical college or university, where appropriate. This education a150 includes a greater understanding of the Christian faith. . The teaching of agricultural and horticultural skills, vthich aid 5elf-sufficiency and food production that also leads to health benefits. The direct provision of food and sustenance during periods of drought or famine. We have an ongoing policy that we will provide at least ￿ (2) meals every day. for every child who attends any of our schools. The meals consist of a grain cereal. Sorghum porridge at breakfast time. Boiled maizelmillet, chickpeas and beans, which is the stable diet of the local people, which now includes our home grown fresh fruits.. watermelon, bananas, oranges, groundnuts, and mangoes (Sometimes a little meat is provided, when and where possible.) other direct health benefits through projects such as the provision of fresh water through our vKter treatment plant. The benefits can be demonstrated as tangible through the practical building and existence of 7 s¢hoo15, a 10 bed maternity uni( a water treatment plant (and the supply of clean water to many hundreds of people from it) and through reports, photographs and other resources available at eto-ministries.org as well as feedback from those who have visited the work in Kenya. We fail to see how any harm could come to any of the children in any way by our work and we would not be involved in it if there were any chance of harm to any child with the beneficiaries from ourwork are orphaned and needy children, and some oldfinfirm people of Tharaka, Kenya. There are positively no private benefrts to any personlorganization involved in or connected to the work of Educate the Orphans which are more than incidental,. some Kenyan staffing is employed to look after the children in Kenya, helping to feed, teach and care for them. The payment of such staff is incidental to the fulfilment of the purposes. Othemse, we are all volunteers and pay all of our own expenses. No fees are charged- we operate a completely free service to all our beneficiaries, vtho are all the neediest of children. and old people in the bush area of Tharaka, Kenya, ￿0 would have absolutely no chance of any kind of lrfe without the help ¢)f EdiJr.atp. thp Orphans.

The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the Lrtilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are char9ed or credited to the respective ￿ndS and activities to which the provision relates.
