Like all charities, we are required to submit our annual report and accounts to the Charity Commission each year. Our report and accounts for the year up to 31 March 2022 have been accepted and published on the Charity Commission’s website, and you can read them for yourself here:
At the time of reporting, the total number of children being sponsored through Tesfa was 164 along with 18 elderly. Sponsorship funds of £30,988 and additional gifts of £9,537 were sent to our 2 partners in Addis Ababa, supporting their work as follows:
- CBISDO (Community Based Integrated Sustainable Development Organisation) – at the time of reporting, 137 children and 17 elderly people were being sponsored by our supporters
- AHISDO (Addis Hiwot Integrated Sustainable Development Organisation) – at the time of reporting, 27 children and 1 elderly person were being sponsored by our supporters. Please see their website for more details and an overview of what they provide for the community they serve http://ahisdoethiopia.org/
- The extra monies include £500 for AHISDO to purchase a new computer and £8,925 to support the elderly sponsor program at CBISDO received from a newly developed relationship with the Kunde Foundation (a charitable trust set up by a close friend of the late Founder of CBISDO and AHISDO with very similar mission to Tesfa).
We remain hugely grateful for the continued commitment of our sponsors and supporters by investing in the lives of the most needy children and elderly in the communities we support in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – the support continued throughout the pandemic which is a testimony to the commitment of our supporter base and their belief in how much of a difference sponsorship can make to the lives and futures of those in most need.
