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. This Is P huge
achievemenl
According to the reciepts we have, in the last financial year counlng
business grants alone, we set up businesses for 3000 adults (90Vo women)
who be￿een them have 6500 children
Our focus is sknll on rescuing women and girls frorn sexual I domasticltribal
abuse. forced early marriage, FGM and forced prostitution.
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. We still feel that
having the shop as our primary source of funding Is a good choice 11 helps
both the local dressmakers and the main charity beneficiaries. 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
Ou￿ard 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.
Currently the main Income of the charity comes from the Mama Biashara Shop which Is In London It offers a triple
whammy of use 1) fundraising 21 awareness raising 31 being a huge benefit and support in income to marty
subsistence level craftpeople and artisans In Kenya, whose work Is what we sell.
