Public benefits
All of the work of our charity is carried out in accordance with a Christian ethos. We have five charitable purposes: The relief of poverty; the relief of sickness, disease or human suffering; the advancement of education, the relief of those in need and the advancement of religion. Our beneficiaries are the people living in Kenya and its
environs in Africa. The direct benefits which flow from the relief of poverty and the relief of those in need are that our beneficiaries will have the basics in which to have a better life. We currently financially assist orphanages, hospitals and clinics. Undernourished children are given wholesome food, orphaned and homeless children are accommodated and clothing is provided for destitute children and those in need. We intend to continue to help those in need whether it be by reason of their financial situation or lack of means through the provision of humanitarian aid or by any other means. This will be evidenced by the number of people who are in need and are helped who are living in poverty. The direct benefits which flow from the relief of sickness, disease or human suffering is that by providing financial assistance to hospitals and clinics they are then able to provide medical assistance to those who need it. The direct benefit to people who are in need of medical assistance is that their pain and suffering is either eased or relieved. Our feeding programme also helps to relieve sickness as people’s health are improved by eating wholesome food. This will be evidenced by the number of people assisted. The direct benefits which flow from the advancement of education include children and young people being educated, preparing them to find employment, trade or start a business to support themselves and their families in the future. We assist schools financially, and in practical ways by providing educational material and equipment. Education and employment in turn also lead to better health and a reduction in poverty and crime in the area. The benefits are a better quality of life for the people living in Kenya and its environs in Africa. This would be evidenced by the number of children attending the schools. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are that pastors and potential leaders in the churches in Kenya and its environs in Africa are better equipped through theological and spiritual training, working in conjunction with the Christian Theological Institutions in Africa to meet the spiritual needs of the people. They are also helped in practical ways by providing bicycles for them to get from place to place. People’s lives are changed for the better when they are at peace with God and each other. They have a new purpose and joy in life and live happier and more productive lives. This is evidenced by the number of people whom the new pastors have helped, and who continue to attend their services. The beneficiaries of this purpose are the people living in Kenya and its environs in Africa. There is no risk of harm with any of our purposes.

Our charity has built a Theological College in Kapenguria, in conjunction with the Africa Gospel Church. It has also built a school with approximately 14 to 16 rooms, with a new three storey extension on the outskirts of Nairobi. A new school class room has also been built in the town of Nuu in the Ukanbane District. We offer educational
programmes for preschool children, kindergarten and primary school children in good school facilities with qualified teachers. School fees are provided in part or in full for those who can prove they do not have the money to pay for them. In addition to financial support much needed supplies for schools, hospitals, orphanages and churches have been donated free of charge by people and organisations in Northern Ireland. These supplies have been shipped to Kenya and distributed under the supervision and instruction of our Executive Directors who work in Africa for approximately five months every year. Educational provisions supplied by us include educational libraries and equipment, IT computer suites including desks, chairs, tables and cupboards. Hospital beds etc for hospitals, chairs etc for the churches and clothes for needy people are other examples of practical donations made by people in Northern Ireland. To date 16 x 40ft containers filled with humanitarian aid have been shipped to Kenya to help the needy. Information letters and two or three public Rallies annually are used to promote awareness in Northern Ireland. Meetings in churches and church halls, and presentations in schools also create awareness. Through this awareness donations are made to our charity which enables us to provide Financial Assistance for all of our purposes.
