Public benefits
The trustees are satisfied that the public benefit requirement is met; This Christian charity has a general purpose to see poor people released from material and spiritual poverty. We will grant money “for the benefit of such exclusively charitable objects and purposes in any part of the world as the Trustees...think fit”. In practice, funds are
applied primarily through Christian charities, local churches and communities to aid extremely poor communities around the world. We can help provide emergency food, help them grow their own food, source clean water to drink, and perhaps start a small business. We specifically provide help for families so that children can go to school, thus having a better start in life. The benefits flowing from these grants include improved health, hygiene, sanitation and the general quality of life. The benefits can be assessed by measuring the reduction in malnutrition, reduction in waterborne diseases, access to proper sanitation and children attending school. We aim to measure the number of people who have received help and how much this help has improved their lives. There are no negative aspects. The beneficiaries are poor communities around the word, such as those in many African or Asian countries, where frequently people are forced to drink dirty water, are starving or do not have a means to earn a living. There is no private benefit to any person or organisation beyond the charitable beneficiaries. Before making a donation to a charity or project, the trustees will look carefully at the proposal to ensure that the project is properly planned so that funds are effectively managed. We will look for robust management controls, so that the outputs can be measured and verified against expectations. During a project the trustees will insist on regular reports to ensure that expectations/outputs are being met.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
We work with established charities in many poor countries. For example we are supporting World Vision in Democratic Republic of Congo. It is an extremely poor country and the objective to help these communities get out of poverty. Hygiene and clean water will be a priority at first. Another example is supporting Tear Fund in a project in the Mano
river region of Sierra Leon and the principle aim is to provide clean water. They work through a local church. Another example is with Tear Fund in Cote d'Ivoire where they are mobilising a local community in the fight against FGM and HIV. We also support a smaller charity which works in Africa called E3. They aim to help very poor families and children who have been affected by HIV.
