APPENDIX 1 Achievements and perfomlance Summary of the main achievements of Mama Biashara has been able to continue and expand our work n Kenya the charity during the financial period As you will see from the spreadsheets, the shop Is continuing to do well and we are accruing a few more svzeable donations The numbers of groups we are rescuing. relocating and setting up in businesses a increasing Added to which. our groups, once est•blished and expanding, become part of the funding process themselves- setting up new groups without requinng extra money from Mama B.

However our outposts in Cheptulu and Awendo are more about rbiieving extreme poverty Our Raincatchers In Western have more or lesg wiped out waterborne disease and our nutritional supprt in t)oth areas is very important We still support DECIP and, to a lesser extent the Mary Faith Centfe. We are also still providing much needed nutritional support in some areas. treat for ringwom and Intestinal worms and donate colostomy bags to a local organisation. The shop is doing very well and we have many regular customets and a growing reputation as 'the' place to go for African fashion.

And it gives us indekEnden We look forward to the new year. Financial review Brief Statement of the charity's policy on reserves The chanty has no running overhead costs Ino salaries, property costs etc), all money raised goes to fund our charitable objectives in Kenya. so there would be no wind up costs and there are no fixed financial commitrnents. Thus the resep4es policy is to keep 5Yo of annual ncome In reserve so that the maximum support is going out n fulfilling our charitsble objectives. Deta518 of any deficit
Donated facilities and services (if any) The W12 Shopping Centre in London, provide a shop unit free of charge, W12 is run by W12 Investments to whom we are eternally grateful 8rrtish Air¥vays waive 10 bags for each trip from Kenya. This enables the running of the shop at a decent enough profit lo fund the vlork of the charity Most recenlly they have also allowed two free bags on the Ouard leg of the Journey The value of BA'S donation is about 1400 five times a year. our auditor also donates his firms time and expertise FOC APPENDIX 1 Other optional Inforniation Having found, over time, that one of the best 'start up, businesses we have is the selling of donated bras. we now have a well developed network of'bra donors, across the UK This means, of course, that the finanéial outlay for rnany groups is only for transport away from their 'danger zone. This Is a small but very Importanl slep It also allows people who cannot afford to donate money. to engage with the work of Mama B.
