COVER PHOTOS: The photo on the front cover was taken at Mar Ella Chaldean Church in Ankawa, which is in Irbil, Iraq. This church is home to over 700 families who ed from

the Ninevah plain to escape ISIS. The refugees are treated as guests at this church. Some refugees established the pictured nativity tent to celebrate Christmas in 2014. It was a reminder that despite the loss of many things including their homes and loved ones, that Jesus Cares (this is what the Arabic words say on the tent.)

The back cover photo is of people who had attended a prayer meeting at St Michaels Anglican Church Wollongong in October 2014 to pray for Iraqis eeing ISIS. They are

holding signs of the Arabic letter pronounced nun. The genocidal ISIS used it to mark Christian houses, businesses, and properties in Mosul for the extermination of holdouts and expropriation of their belongings.

This year Anglican Aids supporters donated $1,351,948 to emergency appeals. This is more than for any previous year in its history.

CEOS REPORTDear Friends,

Of the many important matters in the last nancial year of

Anglican Aids work I would like to highlight three:

EMERGENCY APPEALS

It has been a year of responding to various humanitarian crises and emergencies in many parts of the developing world.

The most recent, and the most serious, has been the Nepal Earthquakes. News of the rst devastating quake ltered

through to us on ANZAC Day (April 25th) and within 36 hours Anglican Aid had launched an appeal after consultation with CMS Australia, The Nepal International Fellowship and the Anglican Diocese of Singapore which has responsibility for the mission deanery of Nepal.

But it seems somewhat mechanical to rank levels of severity whenever human life is lost, homes and possessions, livelihoods and businesses destroyed, food and water sources corrupted and people are displaced, sometimes permanently through religious persecution.

Anglican Aid has continued throughout most of last year to support those displaced in the north of Iraq and Syria caused by the relentless jihadism of ISIS and associated groups. We responded swiftly to communities in Vanuatu devastated by Cyclone Pam in March and here at home we have supported communities in the Northern Territory and North Queensland that were hit by damaging cyclones.

ACCOUNTABILITY, EFFICIENCY & TRANSPARENCY

The Anglican Aid Board and sta have worked very hard

to ensure the faithful stewardship and management of funds and projects. We work almost exclusively with indigenous Christian leadership who are members of the communities that they care for and serve. We avoid working with or establishing our own introduced middle management structure which, by its very nature, reduces levels of e ciency and imposes a leadership that has less

understanding of local issues.

In most cases we are transferring more than 80 cents in every dollar directly to this local leadership and in some cases even more. As signatories to the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) we are in compliance with best practice in the sector.

We invite careful scrutiny of our Annual Report and are always eager to discuss with our partners in Australia and overseas how we can keep improving.

STAFF, BOARD AND PARTNERS

I am personally indebted to the careful oversight of our Governance Board and the diligence and cheerfulness of our sta . Our growth as an organisation and the high levels

of e ciency achieved is in no small measure due to their

wise leadership and hard work.

And nally, to our partners, both our donors here in

Australia and our brothers and sisters in Christ giving leadership to the traumatized communities to which they themselves belong, a very big thank you. It is a humbling privilege beyond any comparison to be in partnership with you in Christs love and service.

CHAIRMANS REPORT

Dear Friends,

It has been another very encouraging year for Anglican Aid. There is very good stability amongst the sta and also within

the Board. The measurable outcomes of our Strategic Plan (2013-2018) have been achieved and exceeded. Increasing interaction with churches throughout the Diocese of Sydney and with donors throughout Australia continues to lift the pro le of Anglican Aid signi cantly.

This is due both to personal interaction with local churches and a greater awareness of Anglican Aid partnerships though social media, culminating in the recent launch of Anglican Aids new website.

I am always reminded, however, that Anglican Aid exists because of the vulnerability and su ering of people just

like us in parts of the world wracked by systemic poverty, civil war, humanitarian crises and acts of terrorism. It is a work that is always deeply moving and heartbreaking. With urgency we must always cry to our Heavenly Father to have

his heart of love and mercy and that our partners would know the comfort and peace of the gospel of our Lord Jesus that passes all understanding, as we would, when faced with the realities of injustice and su ering in a broken world.

My thanks to the Anglican Aid Board who have served with such distinction over the last year and to the Anglican Aid sta , for their dedication and hard work. Two long

serving directors retired during the year. Wendy Toulmin departs after over twelve years to return to the Congo as a missionary with husband Graham. Ross Hall retires having served since 1999. To all who have partnered with Anglican Aid in your prayers and nancial generosity please accept

my gratitude for your ongoing support.

Jonas successZambia

First and foremost I would like to give thanks to God for bringing Blessed to Bless (B2B) into my life.

I was just a boy, like any other boy, but without any hope or future dreams. I used to hang around in the compound, picking up food on the road - searching for scraps which people had dropped. I had never seen my father or his family. It was painful to see my friends chatting with their fathers.

For the rst nine years of my life I didnt go to school, and

spent my early years living like a nomad. When my mother was alive she was strong, and used to work hard to bring food for us. When I was 10 years old my mother passed away and life became tougher. Although I attended school, I had negative thoughts about it. I was bullied because I was so poor and always hungry.

During this time I used to go to church, but I didnt know God or the purpose of life. I did not know that God had planned my life and education in advance. My sponsor Mum committed herself to support me up to college level. Now I have a di erent view of education: the commitment

and support that I have received has made a huge impact on me.

As I write, I am one of the happiest people, knowing I am supported by Blessed to Bless. Every time I think about the encouragement from my sponsor Mum, I am moved to tears. I am very glad that I will be a teacher - a career that has been my dream since Grade 8.

Through my sponsor I was sent to a Christian college. This year I have made the signi cant decision to join the B2B

team. I have decided to join because of the children at Ipalo Christian Community School. Many of these children come from broken families, and have a similar background to me. It makes sense that I should teach these children as I understand the things they are going through.

Blessed to Bless has done a tremendous job, especially for a boy who had no vision at all and no hope for my life. I never dreamt I would become a teacher.

I thank my sponsor and Blessed to Bless for everything they have done in my life by educating me, and for the emotional and spiritual support. The Blessed to Bless program has brought an education to me, which is a priority for all Zambian children.

Tanzanian GirlsFly High

My name is Rachel. Im a Form 2 student at Bunda Girls Secondary School. I have been at this school since it opened in 2014. Before I came to this school I faced so many challenges as a day scholar. The challenges I faced were: unreliable transport, the long distance from home to school, lots of work I had to do after school. If I was sick I had to go home by myself and sometimes the condition would get worse on the way.

But after coming to this school, I have seen the di erence

between the day and boarding schools. This school helped me a lot because rstly, I didnt know what I wanted to do

in the future. What subjects should I focus on: arts/social science, natural science or language? But now I know what I want to be: a successful and worldwide-recognised scientist.

This school takes care of us; it has modern toilets and buildings, it provides us with quality education, the school members value the dignity of one another, and the school environment is good and safe. Also, it has hard-working teachers, and students who make an e ort in their studies

since they have been given the ability and opportunity.

Also, let me tell of problems that I faced, and also those of my community at large: It was hard for me to nd a boarding

school near to my home place; there also was the tendency of some community members to force their daughters to be married while still premature; because there was no school there, the land was cultivated and there were con icts between farmers and pastoralists.

Since the school has been built, I have seen the bene ts and advantages of studying here. I have learned to be strong and have con dence. Also, I have gained knowledge of the Bible and have learnt to be punctual, honest, obedient, hardworking and apologetic. Also, I have to be a role model to others.

Bunda Girls Secondary School still lacks some things like laboratory apparatus, and chemicals, re extinguishers

in the dormitory and water taps in toilets. More teachers houses are to be built and dining hall, library and sports pitches to be completed.

Before I pen o I thank everyone who has contributed to

make sure that the school is developing and reaching its goals. May God grant you all long life and continue with the good job you are doing for our school and the whole community. And this is my humble prayer.

The Bunda Girls Secondary Project has been established with grants from the Grace and Mercy Foundation through Perpetual Trust. This project is also supported by Roseville College.

Better life for indian childrenwith disabilities

Anugrah Disability Program, in Uttarakhand, northern India, is making a better life for children with physical and developmental disabilities. Initiated by Anglican Aid over 10 years ago this project has grown signi cantly in that time.

An orthotic workshop makes appliances for children and adults and a wood workshop produces assistive equipment such as chairs specially designed to accommodate physical di culties. Awareness raising meetings, sponsorship

of Disabled Peoples Organisations, micro nance loans

to DPOs to establish income generating businesses for disabled adults and early learning centres for children excluded by the education system due to their disability are all part of the broad activities of the only disability support program in the area. Thirty-six pastors attended a session on a Disability Inclusive Church.

72015 ANNUAL REPORT

Other achievements during the year included:

A ve-year-old boy, who survived second-degree burns to

his face and upper right arm, was treated. The team was guided by volunteer occupational therapists from South Africa and Switzerland

Under the supervision of Swiss prosthetic and orthotic technicians, the Anugrah team was able to make its rst

arti cial limbs: trans-femoral and trans-tibial prostheses

Twenty-three children applied for membership in an Indian Government health insurance scheme for the welfare of people with autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability and multiple disabilities

Kanga Schools Sierra Leone

Anglican Aid partners with LTN Australia and Kanga Schools in Sierra Leone. Kanga Schools provides educational programs and has also built school libraries and provided toilets and water for schools.

The school pictured is a distance from Freetown, and was supported as the nearest school was di cult to access

because of a lack of roads and the need to cross a river.

Village children were at risk because there was no safe water which led to cholera. Kanga Schools assisted with constructing a water well in the village, and the photo shows the celebrations on the day the well was opened.

Kanga Schools also assisted in the construction of a building to house classrooms and a library. Over several years, the school has been provided with books ction, non-

ction, teaching aids, stationery plus classroom furniture,

computers and solar lanterns. The impact on the village has been huge, with all children now bene tting by school

attendance.

Transforming Filipino Women

The Samaritana Womens Transformation and Empowerment Project in Quezon City, Philippines, assists women leaving prostitution and improves the quality of life of these survivors.

To accomplish these goals, Samaritana provides activities to empower the women through holistic personal transformation that highlights livelihood, capacity building, emotional and social security, leadership development and advocacy.

Handmade greeting cards provide a livelihood for trainees and the capacity building component includes life skills training in areas such as food preparation and urban farming. Emotional and social security is achieved through individual and group counselling sessions and leadership

development includes improving the planning skills of the kitchen sta to enable them to plan meals and buy

provisions for a monthly menu.

Advocacy training develops women leaders through an awareness and educational campaign for women on their rights, strengthened partnerships and networks with other organisations, including local churches.

Samaritana undertakes a Friday outreach to women involved in prostitution. In Cubao area of Quezon City, the emphasis is both on making new contacts and reviving older ones. Samaritanas sta explain: The women visited here

work directly on the streets, not in bars. It is easier to talk to them, although they are the most vulnerable group of women contacted. They tend to be older than the women who work in the bars and often have health issues.

Our outreach co-ordinator is looking at ways to augment their incomes during the day by setting up a card production area in a rented room.

Samaritana is also working with a new partner organisation, Destiny Rescue, to try to reach minors involved in prostitution.

Grace flows to refugees

The desperate plight of people driven from their homes by extremists in Iraq has been one of the most heartbreaking stories of the past year. Centuries of family and church tradition have been left behind as refugees of all ages ed to comparative safety with nothing but their

lives and few belongings.

Anglican Aid has responded to the overwhelming needs of these mostly Christian people together with Yazidis and other minorities, by providing emergency assistance through the generosity of so many across Australia.

Anglican Aid has delivered over $300,000 in emergency aid, distributed among individuals for medical and living costs; through churches and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps and by purchasing and distributing items including clothes and bedding.

Medical grants assisted, including help with disabled child, medical emergency, mastectomy, cataract operation, deafness, blindness and an amputee. Total medical grants for individuals over one two month period totalled $17,812 in late 2014.

Needs covered by living cost grants included help for families, money for rent and medical needs, clothes for winter, monthly relief and school costs.

Perhaps the most poignant line in a spreadsheet report is a grant for a man described as the last Christian [church caretaker] in Habania.

Anglican Aid funds were also distributed via churches. For example, the Syrian Orthodox Church provided 2700 families with electrical wiring in villages, rice, oil, water, ice and food; Father Emmanuel of MarSharmot helped 1000 IDPs with water, ice, bread, emergency payments, canned meat, eggs, rice and tea.

The Armenian Church provided internally displaced people with pyjamas and winter socks. The Carmelites provided for 1400 Yazidis in Douhok with tent materials, blankets, medical relief and food.

Al-Bishara Church provided assistance to four centres in Ankawa, a suburb of Erbil in Kurdistan. It provided medicine and milk formula, stationery and gifts for IDPs and their children from Mosul.

Anglican aid is continuing to provide support through St Georges Church in Baghdad which is receiving $30,000 each two months to assist those in need in northern Iraq. These funds continue until December 2015 (or longer should additional funds be received). Anglican Aids Iraq appeal will have distributed over $400,000 by the end of 2015.

Discipleship& DevelopmentMara Tanzania

My name is Rhobi, a resident of a village in Serengeti District. I was brought up in a culture that believed that a woman has no rights in the family. I have been all along cruel to my wife. Because I did not care much about the feelings of my wife, I got involved with other women, and kept others as my concubines. I did not provide for the needs of my wife. In fact she fended for herself. I worked very hard as a farmer, but I spent the income from the sale of farm produce on alcohol and the concubines. I was an example of bad husbands in the village. Whenever a quarrel arose between me and my wife I used to give her thorough beatings and our case of domestic violence was discussed by the village government several times.

When the Anglican Church Diocese of Mara Development and Discipleship project came to the village, my case was used several times as an example of gender-based violence (GBV). As the discussion progressed I seriously re ected and

asked myself where my lifestyle is leading me to. I took time to read lea ets, listening to the peer educators, community

forums and other printed materials with anti GBV messages was about me personally. I decided to change my ways.

Today I am happy to declare that I have peace in my house. I work together with my wife in our farm. In the last season, we used part of the income we got from selling our farm produce to buy a sofa set for my house. I have stopped my relationship with the concubines and I no longer go after other women. We now sit together with my wife and we discuss our family budget. There is real peace in my family.

I want to thank Church of Tanzania for bringing this education and training to our village. I am now involved by the village government to advise other men against GBV.

Floods in the Multan, Pakistan caused widespread damage and caused extensive homelessness. Money from our emergency fund and other donations allowed our partner One to Another to provide drinking water, food, ropes, tents and life jackets to 300 families 80 kilometres from Multan.

Anglican Aid provided funds to the Anglican Diocese of Bukavu in The Congo which was assisting 600 Burundian women and children eeing civil violence following an

attempted coup. Aid provided was food and clothing and medical kits.

Following a cyclone which caused widespread damage and deaths in many of the islands of Vanuatu supporters responded generously which allowed an initial $40,000 to be sent to the diocese. This allowed rice, seeds, cuttings and some implements to be purchased to ensure crops destroyed could be replanted on Merelava Island in Torba Province. Further activities including building and water provision are being planned which will provide long term assistance to Vanuatu.

EBOLA EpidemicLiberia

On February 9, 2015 in an address to sta , Dr Rick Sacra (who had returned after recovering in USA from ebola), re ected on an international NGO asking What allowed ELWA to remain open when other hospitals closed? He told sta As I see it,

there are two reasons. The rst is that our sta are mission driven. They are motivated by the example of Jesus Christ and his call to care for their neighbors who are in need their belief in God is no mere intellectual assent or religious ritual, but real, where-the-rubber-meets-the-road faith that strengthened them to do this di cult and fearful work and leave the results to God. The second reason had to do with an infant child he was holding at the time who was being discharged that day and referred to the many people who make a great team.

The 2013 appeal for the destruction caused by Cyclone Haiyan allowed ongoing work in repair and provision of temporary shelters and permanent homes, training in organic vegetable gardening, livestock production and provision of shing boats. In total Anglican Aid was able

to provide six shing boats and 73 houses in addition to

seeds and assistance in re-establishing farms through provision of inputs such as seeds. An additional 15 houses are yet to be constructed. Typhoon Ruby (December 2014) caused some delays to planting seedlings.

Young mEn woodwork their way to better lives

Mara Vocational Training Centre in Tanzania, is assisting young village men to learn a trade and carve out a better future.

In December 2014, 11 students graduated from the rst

year of the Boys Brigade Mara Training Centre course. It was a great celebration with family and friends as the students were presented with graduating certi cates and

tool boxes which they made themselves full of tools to assist each to start a carpentry business in his home village.

In February 2015, the second intake of 11 students started at the centre to study carpentry for a year. Donors have made it possible for three students, all orphans, to study on scholarships.

Jackson, 16, lost his father when he was in Year 3 and his mother soon after. He came to the centre seeking to further his education and, although he struggles to read and write, he is learning well and has a natural ability to do carpentry. Jacksons story is an example of how the centre is improving livelihoods for individuals and their villages.

The students ages range from 16 to 25, with an average of 21. There are six teachers: the principal and vice-principal are full time - a cook and two security guards complete the team.

Buildings include a 16-bed dormitory, classroom, workshop and store and toilet block with showers. Completion of a boundary fence has enabled the planting of crops, vegetable gardens and a forest for harvesting timber in future years. This will help the training centre keep fees as low as possible, to make it a ordable for village youth. The

centre is able to sell the furniture the students make.

This project was initiated by and is supported by St Ives Community Church.

Civil war since December 2013 has seen this new country plunge into chaos. Anglican Aid raised funds through a Meal for a Meal campaign. The Peace Dividends project provided displaced people who have never farmed with agricultural training as an alternative to cattle keeping. The rst activity was in Awerial where thousands from the city

of Bor had ed. A new project in Kajo Keji commenced in

June 2015.

132 children and 10 sta were massacred by the Taliban in

December 2014. $10,000 from Anglican Aids emergency fund was provided to the Church of Pakistan to provide support to the families (all Muslim) as a sign of support for the Muslim community which stood by the church which experienced its own devastation in the 2013 church suicide bombing of 122 people at All Saints Peshawar.

Anglican Aids appeal partnered with International Nepal Fellowship and Anglican Crisis Relief, Outreach and Support, Singapore (ACROSS) which has oversight for Anglican churches in Nepal. An initial amount of $120,000 for immediate relief has been disbursed through both partners. Anglican Aid will be assisting in Nepal for the next three years in reconstruction and rebuilding in Pokhara area in partnership with INF Australia and INF Nepal.

ANGLICAN AID

Break the Cycle Glenquarie AnglicanBreak the Cycle is an approved organisation in the Work and Development Order (WDO) Scheme which provides unpaid work and life skills courses to eligible people who have unpaid nes outstanding. This is one of many

activities supported through Anglican Aids partnership with Glenquarie Parish, which is able to employ a Community Chaplain.

Administered in partnership with NSW Police, State Debt Recovery O ce, Legal Aid NSW and the Aboriginal Legal

Service, WDOs allow eligible people to settle nes by

undertaking unpaid work, counselling, courses or treatment programs.

Unpaid nes lead to debt stress, compounding disadvantage

and ultimately to loss of drivers licence.

Break the Cycle provides an opportunity for vulnerable people in the community to develop skills, engage with support services and receive treatment for addictions and other personal di culties and, for many, while reducing

their nes. The community chaplain has managed 32 active

WDOs worth $192,227.

Break the Cycle is changing lives of men in the Macquarie Fields area and allows the church to minister to people in its area according to their individual needs.

Hub of hope petershamAndrew (not real name) has been attending the Hub of Hope for about two years. Andrew is in his late 50s and has lived with alcohol addiction for many years. This addiction has had a negative impact on his life, contributing to family breakdown, separation, dependency, physical illness and isolation. Andrew moved into a local boarding house in 2013 and soon attended the free BBQ lunch at the Hub of Hope.

From 2014, Andrew has increased his attendance to include participating in the Bible study most weeks as well as regularly attending the All Saints Anglican Church 6pm evening service. Andrew is a regular member of the Hub of Hope and volunteers in the community garden, cleaning and assists with property maintenance at times. The Hub of Hope, Centrelink and emergency food services, provide Andrew with access to basic services and assistance that he would not normally have close at hand. Due to his alcoholism, Andrew struggles at times to make ends meet and relies on our services at the Hub, to lend him a hand to make it through those tough times.

Andrews faith has grown in the short time he has been at the hub and it is people such as Andrew whom the Hub of Hope seeks to reach and assist to meet their physical, mental and spiritual needs.

Bukavu Bible Training

Bukavu is an area in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Bukavu has an estimated population of six million people. It is also an area vulnerable to rebel attacks and political instability.

Students at Bukavu Bible College study in a quarterly module system. The students attend lectures for one month and afterwards spend time in the parishes for three months experience. Over a year, they complete three modules of a nine-module program over three years.

There are 45 students who started their rst year in

September 2014 and studied until June 2015 to begin holidays until August. Their second year began in October.

Holistic approach to ministryin the congo

The college is a great distance from the homes of these students who live in dormitories during the courses. In 2014/15 students come from the region of Bukavu. Bangwe (150 kms away) had 15 candidates and Rutshuru (280 kms) had 15 candidates.

Due to the bad roads in DR Congo, people can take a day driving from Bukavu to Bangwe and two days from Bukavu to Rutshuru. But it is also possible to take a boat to come from Bukavu to Goma crossing Kivu Lake and from Goma to Rutshuru by bus. This can take one day.

The Bible training in Bukavu Diocese is a very important program as it allows the college to train pastors to provide holistic transformation of their communities as they preach the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ so that people can be transformed spiritually and morally.

Bukavu Diocese is grateful to Anglican Aid for supporting the Pastors and Evangelists training program.

Theological Educationby Extension

Through the TEE program volunteers who are responsible for churches in their local area receive training to minister holistically in their communities.

Katakwe is a poor, rural diocese in Kenya. It has been classi ed

in the province as a struggling diocese. The diocese has grown to 48 parishes from 37 six years ago, with 205 congregations compared with 183. There are 56 ordained clergy, of whom only four have degrees in theology and 11 hold a diploma in theology, compared with six holding diplomas three years ago. Others have a certi cate in theology and the remainder

NOBERT MAGWA

I am 41 years of age, married with six children. I did my certi cate level course in TEE and found it important for

my ministry in my local church. Besides volunteering as an evangelist in my church I am a peasant farmer. If there was no support from the TEE group I would not have done my certi cate course and I cant imagine what would be

happening with me now. I grew up in a poor home where even to get food was a challenge. Through my farming I am able to send my six children to school. It is my wish to do the diploma program so that I can become a good preacher of the word of God.

JANE CHEBCHWA

I was born in 1967. I am married and blessed with one child. I am a teacher in a primary school and I have been an evangelist for 12 years in my local Kakepel Church. I grew up in the Catholic Church but later on converted to Anglican after which I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal saviour. I want to study a diploma course so that I may improve my skills and knowledge in order to serve God better. I have faced a lot of challenges in my ministry as an evangelist. I want to understand the word of God more deeply than before. I also want to reach out to young people at my place of work as a teacher. This will enable me to change the lives of many people.

do not have any kind of training. There are 120 lay readers and 199 evangelists, most of whom do not have any kind of training. The main challenge that frustrates the e orts of the

diocese and individual members to support themselves is the poor economic state of the community.

The increased number of those trained has been a result of support from Anglican Aid. The following stories from individuals provide a picture of the needs being met.

Anglican Aid is a body corporate which manages three funds.

Anglican Aid was established during the Depression of the 1930s by Archbishop Mowll as a response to the su ering and misery people experienced during the

Great Depression. Previously known as Community Care Program (CCP) Anglican Aid responds to the needs of people in Australia experiencing, poverty, distress, su ering, misfortune, sickness and helplessness.

Anglican Aid resources parishes directly, to meet needs known to them by developing longer term projects to uplift communities in which the local church exists. From 2016 Anglican Aid will extend this program overseas.

The Overseas Ministry Program (OMP) was developed by Archbishop Goodhew in 2000. It develops leadership skills in ministry to individuals and organisations in overseas countries by providing bursaries and scholarships for theological education and training. This program receives gifts which are not tax deductible.

The Overseas Development Program (ODP) was established by Archbishop Loane in 1971 as a response to speci c needs on the subcontinent. The ODP works

in developing countries by developing and nancing

projects in Africa and Asia, through like minded Christian partners. Anglican Aid works to develop the capacity of in country partners through advice and assistance. Anglican Aid is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and a signatory to ACFIDs Code of Conduct.

In Australia, churches and other Christian groups may have an interest in developing projects for which they are passionate. Anglican Aid partners with them to develop the project using best practice development principles and provides assistance in managing the projects which are nancially supported by the churches or funding

body concerned.

Anglican Aid has developed relationships personally with each partner and therefore knows and trusts them. Funds donated to Anglican Aid are not distributed through global networks but rather through smaller on the ground partners working directly with people in need.

In developing partnerships Anglican Aid recognises that when working with partners across cultures it is very easy to slip into the mindset that the benefactor has all the answers and the bene ciary should be silent and

grateful. Partnership and Biblical integrity recognises the mutuality and reciprocity of blessing and value adding in all partnerships. Participation by local communities in identifying solutions ensure projects are more likely to succeed than if imposed from external donors.

This principle of partnership governs the way Anglican Aid seeks to empower, build capacity and ownership in the initiatives of its partners to serve their communities. This governs the way Anglican Aid relates to its donor stakeholders and the speci c passions that they have in

the aid, development and ministry sector.

FINANCIAL SUMMARYWhilst a 30% increase in donations in the three funds to $4,138,971compared to the previous year would be seen as a good result in most agencies reliant on donor revenue, it is humbling to be reminded that this increase in revenue was as a result of the various crises Anglican Aid sought to respond to during the year. This result is a testimony to the generosity of Gods people who have shown the heart of Jesus in responding to the urgent needs of people, either persecuted or in need due to natural disasters.

Anglican Aid can only do what you, our supporters see as important.

Our fundraising and administration costs have been maintained at levels which allow 80 cents of each dollar received to be applied directly to the bene t of bene ciaries. During the year we have upgraded our website and improved a number of systems to ensure we continue to operate effi ciently.

We thank all our supporters and ask that you thank God for his generosity to us and pray for the ongoing work you read in this report. Member
