The Anna Foundation celebrates 20 years of community impact this year . . . what an honour and privilege that is! Over the years, as our reach has grown and our offerings have deepened, we have always retained our core vision of improving the lives of rural children in a very real and holistic manner. We have invested richly in these children’s lives: through educational support, sporting ventures and emotional well-being.

In this report we share some of our most recent monitoring and evaluation findings. It was exciting to have these results to illustrate the impact our reading interventions have made over the period of the year (2024 to 2025). We also share exciting events and outings the children participated in, offering them opportunities to broaden their life view.

It is with gratitude that I thank all the women who work daily at the projects ensuring the children are cared for, loved and able to grow in a safe environment. Their dedication to their own self growth is commendable and ensures our projects remain sustainable and impactful. It takes a strong management team to support these women and for this I thank the staff who work tirelessly behind the scene to make the magic happen. Anna Foundation would not be celebrating 20 years if it wasn’t for these core individuals who make every day count!

And finally to all our donors, our supporters and everyone who cares about our work: thank you for the years of support and helping to play a role in ensuring we are able to make the impact we do, because of you.
