How we use your money

In 2010/11:

• Our income rose to £4.1m

• We worked with 14,500 families in seven countries in Africa

• Some 4,493 families in 119 groups achieved self sufficiency and ‘graduated’ from our programmes

• We spent 80 per cent of our income on our charitable aims, and expenditure on fundraising and governance costs dropped to just 20 per cent

• Volunteers gave 13,000 hours of their time, saving us £145,000 in salaries

All this has been made possible by the generous support of individuals, churches, schools, youth groups, rotary clubs, trusts, institutions, grant-making organisations and others. Thank you all!
