Public benefits
Poverty and financial hardship are relieved in an underdeveloped part of rural India leading to improved health outcomes and educational opportunities. Orphans and abandoned infants are provided with accommodation, care and education. Another direct benefit is that young people who have been trafficked and forced into prostitution due to poverty
are resettled and able to make a fresh start in life. The benefits are demonstrated by the building and provision of an orphanage caring for orphaned and abandoned children and support of a local project which takes in abandoned infants who otherwise may be left to die. The resettlement of young people who have been forced into prostitution due to poverty, so they have been able to take a fresh start in life. The charity’s beneficiaries are the children attending the orphanage and abandoned infants recued. Also the trafficked young people helped. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the salaries paid to the workers at the orphanage and to the builder and his employers who build the orphanage facility. This is incidental and necessary because without these benefits the orphanage would not have been build to be able to be run in a professional and caring manner it is today. Children and young people in an underdeveloped part of rural India, including orphans and others who are especially socially disadvantaged, are provided with educational opportunities they would otherwise lack and the opportunity to learn new skills which help them to support themselves financially. The benefits are evidence through local orphans receiving a good level of education and in the longer term the local area having a local school and vocational college to service the educational needs of local children/ the local population. The charity’s beneficiaries are local children and the local population within a rural underdeveloped area of India. The only private benefit following from this purpose is the payments to the builder and his workers for building the facilities. This is incidental and necessary because without these payments building of the new school and agricultural college will not be possible. The Trust acts to ensure that it is receiving good value for money. The new school once build will also offer salaried employment to local people as teachers but again this is incidental and necessary. Sickness is relieved and health promoted in an underdeveloped part of rural India leading to improved health outcomes for the local population who would otherwise lack access to health care due to poverty and rural isolation. The benefits are demonstrated through the organisation of medical camps which provide access to health care professionals, medical treatment and preventative medicine. The charity’s beneficiaries are local people living in a rural isolated area of India who would otherwise be unable to afford to access medical treatment, due to their financial circumstance and rural isolation. No private benefit as local medical staff and organisations often volunteer their expertise and the Trust funds the costs involved. Advancement of Christian faith leads to improved understanding of Christian principles and spread of the Christian message. The benefits can be demonstrated through supporting the charitable work of Christian churches and missions both in the UK and internationally by providing donations to support their work. Our own work in a poor, underdeveloped region of India is supported by churches organisations within Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the world. We work in partnership with other Christian organisations in India to ensure that vulnerable individuals are assisted. Our Chairperson is a minister of religion and we bring the gospel and share the Christian message in India and where ever we operate. The beneficiaries are people living in India and elsewhere in the world. There is no private benefit. No harm flows from any of our purposes.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
Our organisation has been actively working with Freedom Life Centre in India, supporting the building and now operation of an orphanage in an undeveloped rural region of India. The Trust also supports a local organisation, which works alongside Freedom Life Centre, which rescues and cares for abandoned infants. The Trust is funding and assisting
the Freedom Life Centre with the building of a school for the local area, the nearest school is currently a considerable distance away, which disadvantages local children and young people, many of whom are currently unable to attend. The Trust has long-term plans once the School building project is finished and school up and running to assist with the building of a vocational and agricultural training college for the area. We also occasionally work with trafficked young people in India who are vulnerable to abuse due to their poverty and place them with carers in this rural location far from their abusers, so they can make a fresh start in life. We also make small donations towards the charitable work of a number of churches and Christian ministries working overseas. We are a Christian organisation and many of our supporters and volunteers are drawn from church congregations.
