Public benefits
Public benefit statement The Charity is a grant making trust which will apply its income by making grants to charities with similar purposes operating in Lima, Peru. Our beneficiaries are children and young people living in impoverished areas in Lima, Peru. 1.The benefit which flows from the advancement of education is that children who have
fallen behind, are out of, the state education system are given the opportunity to learn and gain an education. We have supported a project which specialises in children with learning difficulties and provides a psychologist assisted study programme to help the children overcome their emotional and learning difficulties. We aim to continue to provide financial support to this setting and possibly others like it in the area. 2. All of our purposes are intertwined with preventing or relieving poverty of the beneficiaries. The benefit which flows from this is that by providing food at all of the activities that the children attend, the children are nourished. By helping them to come to terms with their emotional issues, the children and young people are being given a helping hand through the provision of various support. This should all help to give them a better start in life and hopefully help them find employment when they’re older. We will continue to provide financial support to charities in Lima that work to prevent or relieving poverty. 3. The benefit which flows from relieving the needs of children and young people is that those who have been abused or mistreated receive care and attention in a safe environment which is necessary to help them overcome their experiences. We have provided financial support to a residential home for troubled and abused children which provides specialist psychological help to the young people. We aim to continue to provide financial support to this setting and possibly others like it in the area. 4. The benefit which flows from providing financial assistance to charities which provide recreation facilities is that the conditions of life for the beneficiaries will be improved. Children and young people will be able to participate in various recreational activities which helps them to develop new skills and benefit from social interaction with their peers in a safe and stimulating environment. We have funded a Children’s centre in Lima which hosts 600 children on a daily basis where the children can participate in activities such as dance and art to study and play areas. We would anticipate continuing providing financial assistance to this centre and any other similar project in the area. 5. Our fifth purpose is to further such other purposes that are charitable under the law of Northern Ireland as the trustees in their absolute discretion from time to time determine. While the main benefit will primarily focus on the first four charitable purposes however from time to time trustees may make grants and financial contributions to any charitable need that they feel worthy of financial assistance. The trustees have chosen this purpose so that they will not be restricted in who or what they help as different situations present themselves they will judge each case on merit and need and recognise that it must be for one of the twelve charitable purposes as outlined in the Charities Act. There is no private benefit , and there is no harm .

Our organisation raises money to support charities who work to help children and young people in the region of Lima in Peru. We support a Children's Centre which creates a physical and social space where children and adolescents from a very impoverished area in Cornhill. There they can experience the exercising of, and respect for their rights in
daily living, in play, in friendship and being helped with homework. They are also provided with a warm meal. We also support a Children's Home, Casa Hogar which provides a safe environment for the abused and troubled children within the impoverished area of Cornhill and surrounding areas in Lima. This Centre helps with the relief of poverty and prevents and heightens awareness of abuse that is endemic in Peruvian Society. Within the Centre the children receive nourishing food, a clean bed and counselling with the Professionals. In addition, we support St Bernadette's Remedial School which provides a study programme for children with learning difficulties in Cornhill and surrounding area of Lima, Peru. With children who live in poverty it can be observed immediately the difficulties they have to confront in their daily lives. Not least of all an indifference to mistreatment that many of the children suffer, which then leaves them below the level of normal development for their age. This School provides an education for those children who would be no longer supported in main stream education. We also facilitate a child sponsorship programme to help relieve the poverty of children in the area.
