Working closely with a Congolese national, Michel Chikrfanine, now a Canadian citizen. we are building the capacty for Sustainab agriculbjre wtthin the community wheie the widows and children reside. These activities have also led lo strengthenirKJ the role of the local project assistant in Kahuzi Beiga, broadening his local neork, working wth others to source Itxal supplies. and SUPFQrt Icfvjiskn'cs, more effectivety when required for the project.

This nthork also provided Ic#JiSt"cal SUPFQrt for the recovery of a wi¢SJw who had been abducted by rebels in another region. By drawing on the PRWOP neork, she was supported to gain access lo the PANZI hospital in Bukavu. close to where the project assistant and his wrfe rede. and they were able to host her dunng the course of the treatment. This was a deeply emotsonal and challengng crisis the wh)le group to navigate and although rt is not the aim of the charrty to support crisis srtuatsons, the group was comfcKted by the knowkdge that the work we have done together created a netsvork on the ground which could provide her with support.

A promising cross over into mental health and wellbeing for park Rangers and their communities may open up access to new funding to support the wcwnen's enterprises.

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

*Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply. If the words do apply, set out those matters which have come to your attention on the following page.
