To relieve and prevent poverty for communities in East Africa and the developing world through access to clean water. To focus on remote rural communities where few or no other relief/development organisations have reached. To work alongside local churches established in the various communities and encourage the advancement of the Christian faith by practical example. And as the directors may from time-to-time think fit. ## **Achievements, Performance & Public Benefit** As we approach the end of our first year of implementing our Strategic Plan, it is a good opportunity to reflect on our performance to see if the plan has been realistic. The strategic plan was labelled a ‘consolidation plan’ so that we could build on the lessons already learned. The Plan stated that we should aim towards two trips to Kenya per year and that is exactly what we achieved during this operational year – the details of these can be seen under ‘Achievements’ below. Fund raising was also a main pillar of the Plan and the success of this element can be clearly seen in the finance section of this report. As indicated last year we will now implement the UN’s WaSH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) programme. This will see the construction of a pit latrine/bathroom at all our community storage tanks. This also involved a community training day in the use of, and maintenance of, these latrines. As we discussed this with the Diocese of Kajiado we came to understand that they already had access to a community training organisation who carry out a wide range of training programmes. It was therefore agreed that we would focus on the construction of the pit latrines and let the training be carried out by an organisation that is already providing this service and is equipped to do so. The Board, along with the new Patron, are now well settled into their various roles and continue to give Water Drops Partnership Ltd all the support that is needed in order to fulfil our Strategic Plan. The main focus of Water Drops Partnership Ltd remains the same - to provide access to clean and safe drinking water for rural and remote communities across Kenya - but with the main focus being in the area of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK), Diocese of Kajiado. After the presentation of a full report from Water Drops Partnership Ltd to the ACK Diocese of Kajiado’s bi-annual Synod meeting held on 30/31[st] October 2024, the Diocese agreed to incorporate Water Drops Partnership Ltd as an official partner to support the development goals that the Diocese has for the whole area of Kajiado. We were delighted with this move and it will continue to give us access to all the rural and remote areas where people struggle on a daily basis to find clean and safe drinking water. The difference that this makes to the welfare of these communities will be seen for years to come. There are no restrictions on who can benefit from this water provision, it is distributed entirely on the basis of need. ## **Achievements:** The plan for this current year was to implement the following projects: 4 _**NIC109226 Co No. NI688129**_ ## **Water Drops Partnership Ltd** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st ] May 2025 (continued)** **1. Imaroro Shallow Dam:** This project was implemented in July 2024. This was a new venture for Water Drops Partnership Ltd and was successfully completed as planned. The excavation of shallow dams will now be a viable option for other areas if required. We had already developed a borehole in this area but it did not yield sufficient volume of water to satisfy the needs of the whole community and their livestock. The shallow dam will therefore be used for livestock and the borehole for clean drinking water for people only. Now we have a water supply that is estimated to serve a total of more than 1,000 people. More than 4,000 cattle and 6,000 goats will also benefit from the dam water supply. **2. Oloolera Boma Tanks:** There are homesteads (Bomas) across Kajiado County that are located too far away from the community storage tanks to benefit from their water supply. So, the Boma Tank initiative was established to bring a smaller 3,000 litre tank to their homesteads to be used for drinking water only. Selection was made by the local community in conjunction with church leaders. We were able to install 12 Boma Tanks during the month of July 2024 into this area of Kajiado. At least 500 people will benefit from this project. It has since rained and all the tanks are full and making a real difference to the quality of the lives of the people who live there. **3. Oldonyo Onyokie:** This was planned as a community storage tank - and will therefore also have a WaSH element included. As community sensitisation was underway we became aware that there were issues within the community that needed to be resolved before implementation could begin. In conjunction with the Bishop’s office, it was agreed that this project be put on hold until all the issues were resolved. The work will commence when the “all clear” is given. Another trip was organised for January to April 2025 and the following projects were implemented: **4. Erankau Community Tank:** During a visit to this community on Wednesday 5[th] February 2025, it was agreed that a 100m³ above ground water storage tank would be constructed adjacent to the existing church building to catch rain water through a gutter system and store the water during the rainy season for use during the dry seasons. That means 100,000 litres of water will be available for distribution by a community-selected Water Management Committee, thus ensuring equitable distribution across the whole community. The work on the construction began on Friday 7[th] February 2025 and was fully completed on Monday 10[th] March 2025 and we then formally handed the water storage tank over to the local community. All the pupils and their teachers in the local primary school will also benefit from this water supply as they will receive 10,000 litres every month from the storage tank. **5. Boma Tanks – Enkaroni:** During a visit in March 2025, we were able to travel to a place called Enkaroni and install a further 17 tanks to help bring clean and safe drinking water to that rural community – **that’s a total of 44 Boma Tanks to date across the whole of Kajiado County.** Enkaroni is located in the Rift Valley and recent weather patterns have caused a number of water sources to dry up. However, it does eventually rain and if we are in a position to catch the rain water into these 3,000 litre tanks, then the people involved will have a clean water supply for their families. These have proved to be a life-changer for those who have received them. The level of appreciation is incredible and made the effort of implementing them a real privilege. Partnership is at the heart of everything that we do in Water Drops Partnership Ltd. The work we do is a means of connecting those who benefit from the water supply along with those who actually carry out our fund-raising activities here in Northern Ireland/Ireland and beyond. This makes partnership a two-way experience. As various communities across the County of Kajiado, in Kenya are blessed by the work of Water Drops Partnership Ltd, so too, are the people who enable this work to be carried out. When attending presentations across Ireland/Northern Ireland many people are learning about Kenyan culture and understanding issues facing developing countries – and more especially are able to see and hear some of the people whose lives are impacted by this gift of water through our social media platforms and reports. Through this we come to understand and appreciate our connectedness as a people and that we are all living in the same world, facing similar issues and challenges and supporting each other to overcome them. These lessons can be learned through our fund raising processes; by receiving our completion reports of projects; by presentations in churches; through discussions in church groups; workshops in schools and by being part of the Water Drops Partnership Ltd interactive WhatsApp group - which has around 90 members. This chronicles the implementation of projects on a day-to-day basis with photos and text, that bring the work to life as it progresses. ## **Future Plans - 2025/2026:** A further trip is being organised for August to November 2025 and the following projects at the planning stage: 5 _**NIC109226**_ _**Co No. NI688129**_ ## **Water Drops Partnership Ltd** **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st ] May 2025 (continued)** **1. Oldonyo Onyokie:** All the issues that delayed this project have now been resolved and we have been given the “all clear” to proceed. The work will continue as initially planned with the construction of a 100[3] m water storage tank placed close to an existing church building. A new water source will have a significant impact on the health and well-being of any community and a water provision project such as this must take consideration of the potential impact that the solution will have. Therefore, the implementation of the pit latrine construction element of the UN WaSH programme (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) will be significant for the future well-being of the whole community. **2. Mailua Area:** This is a new area to be targeted by Water Drops Partnership Ltd in conjunction with the Diocese of Kajiado. The actual location of this project is still under discussion but the plan is to construct a community water storage tank at a convenient place to serve the water needs of the chosen community. As soon as all the details are in place a full estimate will be developed and implementation plans put into place. **3.** A further trip will be organised from around mid-January to April 2026. The details for this trip are still being developed in conjunction with the Office of Bishop Gaddiel of Kajiado. ## **Water Drops Partnership Ltd – practical application and benefits:** 1.Water Drops Partnership Ltd works with local partners to identify communities with the greatest need for clean water provision. These are in remote areas where few or no other relief organisations have reached. We relieve poverty and promote health by the provision of clean and safe drinking water. We harvest rainwater using gravity-fed systems, filtered into water storage tanks. We also tap into other available water sources - for example an existing pipe system - and use that for storage purposes. We hold capacity building workshops for locally elected Water Management Committees to nurture ownership and responsibility for the future sustainability of these projects and the economical use of water. A community training day under the WaSH programme, organised by the local ACK Diocese of Kajiado also highlights the practical use of water and deals with issues of cleanliness and good hygiene practice. 2. There is therefore, a reduction in sickness in communities as they no longer drink contaminated water. Instead, they see an improvement in their health and well-being by using this clean water. 3. By being healthier, people are more productive in work and better able to earn a living. 4. Girls who previously had to walk long distances for water can now attend school full-time, which improves their educational prospects. They become full participants in the future development of their villages and are real role models for future generations. Apart from the health benefits, providing this service makes these communities feel valued and encouraged. 5. In these areas the local churches may be the most active institutions caring for the physical and spiritual needs of the people. These congregations see this water provision through the charity as supplying one of their most basic needs. This impacts everyone and helps to deepen personal faith as people see this as a practical example of caring. 6. There are fewer visits to the local clinics and the community overall is in better health. This is assessed through monitoring and interviews with clinic staff. 7. Reports of people being more able to earn a secure living as a result of improved health and well-being are also being shared. Head teachers report an improvement in school attendance and exam results, particularly among the older girls. 8. The feedback from the communities - the depth of their heartfelt appreciation and the improvement in their physical and mental health is a significant indicator to the success of these projects. They no longer feel forgotten. 9. Through increased faith and regular worship, people live more focused and fulfilled lives and the community is more united. There is no harm arising from any of our purposes. The charity's beneficiaries are people in East Africa and developing counties, regardless of age, gender or faith, who are in need of clean and safe drinking water. Water Drops Partnership Ltd has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year have helped to achieve its aims and objectives, as well as providing public benefit. There is no private benefit to be derived from any of the activities undertaken by Water Drops Partnership Ltd. All activities directly support the charitable purposes as set out in its Articles of Association. 6 _**NIC109226 Co No. NI688129**_ ## **Water Drops Partnership Ltd** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st ] May 2025 (continued)** ## **Financial Review** Water Drops Partnership Ltd has been privileged to continue to receive many financial donations from individuals, parishes and other groups wishing to support the expansion of the work.

NIC 109226 Co No. Ni688129 11 **Water Drops Partnership Ltd** ## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] May 2025** ## **1 Accounting policies** The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: ## **a) Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities and the Companies Act 2006: 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) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102). The company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost and transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). ## **b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis** The company meets its day to day working capital requirements from its annual income. The Trustees have obtained and reviewed cash flow forecasts for the coming year and based on these are satisfied that the company has resources to provide a reasonable expectation that it can continue to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company will progress with projects when sufficient income is available. ## **c) Income** Income from personal and charitable donations is recognised on a cash receipts basis. Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Surplus income from completed projects is transferable to a future project or projects. ## **d) Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. ## **e) Tangible assets** The tangible assets of the company comprise of a Toyota Land Cruiser which has been modified to suit the needs of Water Drops Partnership Ltd and the challenging terrain in Kenya. Ownership is Water Drops Partnership Ltd but due to legalities in Kenya, the registered keeper is the Anglican Church of Kenya, Diocese of Kajiado. A suitable agreement was completed prior to delivery. Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal, the difference between the new disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the statement of financial activities and included in ‘Other operating (losses)/gains’. ## **f) Investments** The company holds no investments _**NIC109226 Co No. NI688129**_ 12 ## **Water Drops Partnership Ltd** **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] May 2025 (continued)** ## **g) Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, held with Cash Plus, now Zempler, Wise and Mpesa banks. The Mpesa bank account is in Ronnie Briggs’ sole name due to legalities with Kenyan banking system. It is however used solely for Water Drops Partnership Ltd transactions. (Full audit trail held) ## **h) Financial instruments** Water Drops only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at their settlement value. ## **i) Funds** Funds are classified as either Restricted, Designated, or Unrestricted, defined as follows: - Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the company. - Designated Funds. £5K of Unrestricted Funds have been designated by the Directors as a Cash Reserve. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees’ discretion to apply the fund. - Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. ## **2 Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty** Estimates and judgments made in the process of preparing the financial statements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Trustees do not consider that there are any critical judgments made in applying the company’s accounting policies or that there are any critical accounting estimates or assumptions which may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. ## **3 Receipts from Donations and Legacies** ||**Unrestricted**|**Restricted**||| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**Funds**|**Funds**|**Total**|**Total**| ||**2025**|**2025**|**2025**|**2024**| ||**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| |Donations Projects|0.00|14224.97|14224.97|20980.11| |Donations Unrestricted|9850.00|0.00|9850.00|11110.00| |T Pyree|56302.17|0.00|56302.17|13859.38| ||**66152.17**|**14224.97**|**80377.14**|**45949.49**| _**NIC109226 Co No. NI688129**_ 13 **Water Drops Partnership Ltd** **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] May 2025 (continued)** ## **4 Receipts from Charitable Activities** |**Unrestricted**
