Following a significant amount of work, the Trustees of DDDT would like to announce that they have successfully achieved Registered Charity Status (1200207) in England & Wales. This takes the form of a CIO (Charity Incorporated Organisation) Foundation Model and was realised on 30th August 2022.
Moussouratou, Wakibou, Wourohakondo and Alassani are extremely proud of this achievement. They expect to now be able to apply for relevant grant funding, alongside the ability to claim Gift Aid on all donations. It also provides the opportunity to engage with new sponsors and initiatives; again, allowing more benefits to be reaped for the Djarkpanga communities.
DDDT, as a charity, fully intends to continue and build upon the work that has been underway as a Social Enterprise since 2013.
The two charity-specific objects are:
- The prevention or relief of poverty in Djarkpanga, Togo
- The Advancement of Education or Children and Adults in Djarkpanga, Togo
We recommit ourselves to serving the community and to continuing to improve the lives of the local people in line with these objects.
