Extract from Trustees' Report

For the year ended 31st March 2009

Objects of the charity

The objects of the Charity are to advance and promote the Christian faith and the relief of poverty. It aims to help the very poor throughout the world where little or no other help is available. This help is given regardless of religion, class, age or race. The Charity operates in approximately 50 countries primarily through national partners (ROPEholders) who administer funds and care for the poor at grass roots level. ROPEholders account for the funds spent on a quarterly basis. There were 66 active ROPEholders at the end of March 2009.

The charity's mission is to inspire passion against the injustice of global poverty and oppression, converting this passion to righteous concern and this concern into direct action through personal giving to reach and bring change to the lives of individuals who have few other options for survival.
