As usual there have been some delays in our work, fuel shortages, bereavements, delays in purchasing the new 4X4 and most recently, roads washed out. This means we still have some finishing touches for Aaron but nothing that hinders the medium to longterm impact of clean water and healthier crops. None of this has prevented us preparing for our next project, Isaac.

Isaac is a village in the Nkhotakota District of Malawi, comprising approximately 190 households and an estimated population of 1,000 people. The community has constructed well-built elevated goat pens and maintains a beehive provided through African Parks. Villagers have also organized themselves into an agriculture group, the Mtantha Club, where they cultivate groundnuts, maize, bananas, and soy in partnership with Dominic our lead farmer.

These initiatives demonstrate a strong work ethic and an ability to collaborate toward shared goals. However, the village’s water source is a natural check-dam pond located a considerable distance away, requiring residents to carry 20-gallon containers on their heads, making water access more difficult than other nearby villages.

We continue to value your financial and prayer support as we bring much needed relief and the prospects of a better future through sustainable development.

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.

Proverbs 31:8

2025 Tax Receipts

It’s that time of year and Kinder has been busy processing 2025 end of year tax receipts for all Canadian and US donors. The UK has a different system which Compact, nor the donor can benefit from. Institutions like churches and foundations do not pay tax and therefore do not receive tax receipts.

Charities provide tax receipts to acknowledge donations to enable donors to claim allowable tax credits or deductions. These receipts encourage charitable giving by reducing the donor’s after-tax cost, making it more feasible for individuals and businesses to support charitable work. Tax receipts also promote transparency and accountability, as they require charities to document and report donations accurately. Receipting supports public trust, while maintaining compliance with government regulations.

If you have not received a tax receipt our would like a statement, please email us at ktj@compactrf.com.

Once again, thank you so much for your ongoing donations.
