Public benefits
The trustees care satisfied that the two elements of Public Benefit are met. Direct Benefits flowing from the purposes include: ? The provision of free education, such as the teaching of basic literacy, numeracy and life skills which can enable the beneficiaries to find employment in the future or, at a minimum, to be able to read and
write. This education also includes a greater understanding of the Christian faith. ? The teaching of agricultural and horticultural skills which aid self-sufficiency and food production and also lead to health benefits. ? The direct provision of food and sustenance during periods of drought or famine. ? Direct health benefits through projects such as the provision of fresh water and water treatment. The benefits can be demonstrated as tangible through the practical building and existence of 7 schools, a 10 bed maternity unit, a water treatment plant (and the supply of clean water to many hundreds of people from it) and through reports, photographs and other resources available at eto-ministries.org as well as feedback from those who have visited the work in Kenya. We fail to see how any harm could come to any of the children in any way by our work, and would not be involved in it if there was any chance of harm to any child. The beneficiaries from our work are the orphaned and needy children. There are positively no private benefits to any person/organisation involved in or connected to the work of Educate the Orphans which are more than incidental; some Kenyan staffing is employed to look after the children in Kenya, helping to feed, teach and care for them. The payment of such staff is incidental to the fulfilment of the purposes. Otherwise we are volunteers and pay all of our own expenses. No fees are charged - we operate a completely free service to all our beneficiaries, who are all the neediest of children, in the bush area of Tharaka, Kenya, who would have absolutely no chance of any kind of life without the help of Educate the Orphans.
