REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 NOVEMBER 2023


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Vision
We have the principle aim of uplifting the children and youth of Kibera out of hopeless poverty. To provide them with an opportunity to realise their individual worth and uplift their lives.

The aim is to impart positive life and social skills and aid the development of the whole person physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually.

We want to provide healthy role models and life skills through positive sports coaches and establish peer relationships to demonstrate alternative conduct and positive behaviour patterns for the youth, ones that help them
avoid the desperate descent into antisocial and destructive behaviour.

Our medium-term vision is to grow the impact of the programme from 254 Kibera & slum children to 1,000 children. To recruit and train additional coaches, who will train and develop the new children to a level of proficiency.

We want to provide primary and secondary extra tuition educational classes for the 7-14yrs and the 15-19 year-olds. If we can raise their scores and grades it will change their future educational opportunities. With increased scores and grades the Ministry of Education will provide them an offer of higher quality Secondary School or University.

We aspire to be a beacon of hope for the Kibera boys and girls, which builds the hope that their lives
are not destined to be in poverty.

Activities and achievements
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees have also had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when preparing this report.

Activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to the objectives:

The principle objective is providing children from 5 years of age to 19 years from resource poor communities and disadvantaged backgrounds with opportunities to access, train and participate in the game of rugby, through tag rugby (non-contact) and rugby training once a week at Harlequins and Rugby Football Union of East Africa grounds Nairobi. The training is overseen and managed by 3World Rugby certified coaches and facilitators drawn from various leading Rugby Clubs in Nairobi.

The programme currently has 291 children from Kibera, of whom 197 are boys and 94 are girls. The program provides a development framework for the children from the extreme poor communities. They learn essential social and life skills. The goal is to help them walk out of their adverse and harsh conditions into a brighter future.
