Trustees Report (Including Director’s Report)
For the year ended 30th June 2025
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 to the accounts, and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)’.
Objectives and Activities
The Objectives of Baby Angels Organisation Limited are:
To relieve poverty among underprivileged children and their families world-wide by financially supporting meaningful development initiatives, aiming to promote positive change within their lives and help build sustainable livelihoods .
The main activity undertaken in relation to the objectives is fundraising through our supporters in the world’s wealthiest nations, and re-distribution of that wealth to support the world’s poorest children through locally established social projects.
During the current financial period, Baby Angels Organisation Limited has supported the following projects:
-
1) Food Programme for Orphans & Vulnerable Children in Port Elizabeth, South Africa - through Emmanuel Advice & Care Centre (EACC). (Grant Value £900)
-
A grant of £75 per month to helps Emmanuel deliver the child food programme attended by over 300 children 2-3 times a week. The project delivers over 2,400 meals per month to vulnerable children from approx. 100 local families. The programme also welcomes a small number of elderly and vulnerable adults. The management and staff of Emmanuel express their gratitude for our continued support which allows them to provide a secure beacon of hope in their community.
-
2) Rafiki Foster Care, Kenya – Supporting Cost of Operations ( Grant Value £600.00 )
-
Rafiki Foster Care is a non-profit community organisation, set up by and for local people in Kenya, to provide a complete care programme for children at risk of forced labour, exploitation, sexual abuse and drug use due to family circumstances. They work collaboratively with vulnerable families in the region to provide residential respite care for younger children, and foster homes to children without families. Baby Angels grants £50 per month towards medical insurance, electricity, water and gas expenses.
-
3) Eco-Sanitation Toilets – Kamwendo Primary School, Malawi (Grant Value £2,417.41) This project built 2 Eco-sanitation toilets and 2 Eco-sanitation urinals in a school of 370 children. Ecosanitation toilets and urinals offer quality hygienic facilities improving child health, wellbeing and motivating attendance (particularly for girls). This technology also provides compost for the school gardens and food programme, and the community benefits from technology transfer when training local artisans in construction of the toilets.
-
4) Water Harvesting – Kamwendo Primary School, Malawi (Grant Value £2,280.94) Kamwendo PS had no access to water within 1km radius of the school. This project installed 2 water harvesting tanks and piping to harvest water from the school rooftops creating 10,000 litres of stored water capacity for handwashing and sanitation of toilets (installed in the project above). This will minimise the distance kids need to travel to fetch water for the school, thereby increasing the time allowed for lessons. The tanks will also provide water for the school gardens in the dry season. Broader ecological benefits manifest through the reduction of surface run-off and erosion by redirecting water away from the surrounding area into storage tanks.

Child Wellbeing 80% Education & Skills Development 10% Community & Sustainability 10%
-
4) Water Harvesting – Kamwendo Primary School, Malawi (Grant Value £2,280.94)

Impact to Date
Impact is measured as the contribution made by grant activity to one child for one year, and counted cumulatively on an annual basis.
School toilet/water harvesting construction projects are deemed to continue to positively impact children at the school and their families for up to 10 years. Each year’s impact will be counted in addition to the year of construction and in addition to the impact of previous years.
Whilst the trees planted at Mpanga PS in 2023-24 will take 3-4 years to begin bearing fruit, the impact from this project is expected to last 15 years.
Up to 30[th] June 2025, Baby Angels Organisation Limited has supported local organisations to:
-
Provide 210,200 meals impacting 2,100 vulnerable children from 700 families
-
Build 6 eco-sanitation toilets and 8 urinals impacting 12,470 children from 3,736 families
-
Install two 10,000L Water Harvesting systems impacting 5,970 children from 1873 families, and,
-
Plant 2,000 fruit and shade trees impacting 1,400 school pupils for 15 years starting 2026-27
To date, Baby Angels Organisation Limited has positively impacted the lives of 20,576 children from 6,339 families.
