LANGALANGA TRUST
The charity awards secondary school scholarships to bright but disadvantaged children living in the Rift Valley and Central Provinces of Kenya. Those scholars who do well enough at secondary school are then supported through further education. The charity also funds a lunch programme for two primary schools and provides resources to other linked schools in the most deprived areas near Langalanga.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £264,642 and total reserves at £290,243, with the trustees considering these levels adequate to meet foreseeable commitments. However, the filing notes that donor income is under pressure and future income cannot be assumed, requiring prudent stewardship of funds. The trust remains able to meet its commitments despite a net decrease in funds for the year.
