The trust is administered in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Constitution. There are currently four trustees on the Board, two of whom have been in office since the founding of the charity. There were no changes to the Board this year. ## **Objectives and Activities** The purpose of the charity is 1. The prevention or relief of poverty among the tribal people. 2. The advancement of education among the disadvantaged communities or tribal people. 3. The advancement of Christian ethos and indigenous values. 4. The advancement of health. ## **Introduction** Now in our thirteenth year, Bethesda Khankho International (BKI) exists primarily to provide support for a charity in India, serving children in great need often without the support of primary family members. BKI seeks to support this organisation through maintaining links with the wider world, particularly Scotland where BKI exists. Through contact with churches and other interested parties, BKI looks to raise the profile and seeks to gain support in specific areas such as prayer, finance, and other relevant areas. ## **The following is a summary of the work undertaken by BKI during the year** ## **Church Contact** Relationships with current supporting churches remain strong and are maintained through contact with individuals regularly contributing. A small number of churches have developed their commitment to the project with giving increased and more regular. ## **Current Situation** The Project continues to face challenges this year due to an outbreak of civil tension in the area. This has led to the need for relief camps to be set up in the area, and the charity has been involved in the initiation and maintenance of this group. ## **Supporters Meeting** The charity’s President was able to visit in October 2024 and establish and maintain contacts with several donors. There was also a Supporters Meeting held at this time. However, his trip was cut short so trustees from BKI helped to fulfil one of his appointments. ## **Fundraising and Publicity** As mentioned in the last report, fundraising initiatives and opportunities have been slow, and this is something the trustees recognise that we need to address. We are delighted that contributions continue to make their way to Bethesda. ## **Financial Contributions** contributors. Total funds raised between April 2024 to March 2025 is £144,026 of which £123,612 was donations & Gift Aid £20,414. ## **Trustees** The trustees remain in post and have been busy with various constitutional matters and maintaining contact with current donors.
