Annual Report 2011

1 Anglican Aid Annual Report 2011

The last year has been a very exciting one here at Anglican Aid.

Not only have we re-branded and created a new image for the work, I have been able to visit some of our projects and partners and see first hand the life changing differences Anglican Aid’s work and partners are making to very needy, poor and vulnerable people.

I have visited partners in South Africa, East Africa, and India, and have explored potential partnerships in India and Bali. Seeing God’s people at work in incredibly challenging situations, doing great work amongst people in desperate poverty, working with such meagre resources, but achieving so much, has been very humbling and exciting to witness.

Great opportunities lie before us. The need to help train the next generation of Christian leaders in the developing world by providing bursaries for theological training through the Overseas Ministry Fund is greater than ever.

Christ’s commission to make disciples of all nations can only be fulfilled as men and women, indigenous to their country of origin, are trained to train their people to evangelise and disciple their communities.

The need to alleviate poverty, and empower our Christian partners to care for the poorest and most vulnerable people in their wider communities is greater than ever. Anglican Aid, through our Overseas Relief and Aid Fund and Community Care Fund, is committed to these great causes.

We are deeply grateful for the partnerships that our supporters have made possible by their prayers and generosity. Anglican Aid is our supporters. Our partnerships are between you, our Anglican Aid supporters, and our brothers and sisters in Christ in the developing world.

Anglican Aid is these partnerships.

As Paul thanked the Christians at Philippi for their partnership in the Gospel (expressed primarily in financial support and prayer) we too can rejoice in this great principle of partnership in Christian work.

By his grace alone,

David Mansfield Director

Chairman’s Report

Director’s Report

Anglican Aid is playing a significant role in the ministry that the Anglican Diocese of Sydney is exercising both at home and overseas.

Many Anglican leaders throughout the world that have close links with the Sydney Diocese testify to the tremendous help they have received through the relief, aid and development work of Anglican Aid’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund, as well as the training provided through the Overseas Ministry Fund.

The Archbishop of Kenya visited Sydney recently. Archbishop Eliud Wabakala’s visit was very timely. It provided Anglican Aid with the opportunity to talk through, person to person, the best ways of providing much needed emergency relief to the unfolding tragedy in the Horn of Africa.

Much of the north east of Kenya is affected by this humanitarian crisis, which is also home to the largest refugee camp in the world at Dadaab, where hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees have sought refuge from the famine and civil war in southern Somalia.

Kenya has also been a focus of Anglican Aid’s development work and theological training for many years and the Archbishop’s visit was a good reminder to us that our partners are men and women of proven leadership, respect and influence in their countries.

As the Chairman of the Combined Management Committee I want to express my appreciation to the Committee members, the staff and volunteers and to all Anglican Aid’s many donors who have given generously to the great causes that Anglican Aid represents.

As we look to the future and the many opportunities to show Christ’s compassion for some of the world’s most vulnerable people, let us never forget the words of encouragement from Galatians 6:9, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Bishop Peter Tasker Chairman

The Archbishop of Sydney’s Anglican Aid

Anglican Aid has been established to manage three of the Archbishop of Sydney’s funds and this is the first Annual Report covering all three funds. Historically we have produced an annual report for the Overseas Relief and Aid Fund but we believe that it is important for our donors and stakeholders that we share information on the other two funds as well.

To briefly explain what the three funds are:

Overseas Relief and Aid Fund

The Overseas Relief and Aid Fund (ORAF) was established to respond to the needs of those affected by poverty, disease, natural disaster and war. Our mission is to engage with Anglicans to raise awareness and resources in order to equip and empower communities and churches in the developing world.

ORAF has tax-deductible status and therefore can only provide development assistance on a non-discriminatory basis and cannot support any activities that have religious, welfare or partisan political objectives.

ORAF is proud to be a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), the peak Council for 70 Australian non-government aid and development organisations.

ORAF also has base accreditation with AusAID making us eligible to receive funding from the Australian Government. AusAID accreditation ensures agencies are accountable, well managed and deliver quality outcomes.

Donations to ORAF are tax deductible.

Overseas Ministry Fund

The Overseas Ministry Fund (OMF) encourages the development of Anglican ministries overseas and to provide financial support for this training and related materials and equipment.

The main objective is to train men and women for ministry in their local Anglican churches. Churches are growing and leaders are leading. The leaders desperately need and want training. In most cases neither the church nor the individuals themselves have the resources to pay for training or the means of support while they are in training.

Community Care Fund

The Community Care Fund (CCF) supports local churches in Sydney reaching out to show the love of Jesus to those living on the margins in their communities.

CCF seeks to assist in the alleviation and prevention of the consequences of poverty and encourages sustainable community development among poorer communities within the Diocese of Sydney.

Donations to CCF are tax-deductible.

Overseas Relief and Aid Fund – DRC – Promotion of Good Dental Health Care Project

In partnership with the Diocese of Aru, the Anglican Aid Overseas Relief and Aid Fund is helping communities in the DRC to understand the importance of dental care, particularly for their children. In the past the local population knew very little about how to care for their teeth. If there was any problem the solution was to extract the tooth. Now communities have access to appropriate dental care and are learning how to care for their teeth.

The project involves conducting dental education and consultations in 42 primary schools in the area. Children receive appropriate dental treatment. Meetings are held with teachers and parents to discuss strategic ways to educate their children and the broader community.

Students such as nine year old Stembiso are spreading the message of how important dental care is. He came home from school one day and started telling his parents that they should take care of their teeth. He got a stick and started demonstrating how to brush his teeth. Stembiso also told his friends that do not go to school the importance of dental care.

Now communities have access

to appropriate dental care and are

learning how to care for their teeth.

The Members of the Archbishop of Sydney’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund Management Committee declare that the financial statements and notes set out on pages 1 to 2:

(a) have been drawn up in accordance with Accounting Standards, Code of Conduct and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia; and

(b) present fairly the The Archbishop of Sydney’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and its performance, as represented by the results of its operations, changes in distributable funds and reserves and cash flows, for the year ended on that date.

In the Members’ opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the organisation will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

Overseas Ministry Fund – Kenya: Centre for Urban Mission, Carlile College

In partnership with Carlile College, Centre for Urban Mission, Anglican Aid Overseas Ministry Fund is enabling the training of pastors and evangelists from the informal settlements of Kenya to help transform their communities through the ministry of the local Church.

Nairobi is a city of over three million people, and over half the population live in informal settlements. The largest of these informal settlements, with a population well in excess of half a million people, is Kibera. The Centre for Urban Mission, a ministry of Carlile College, is situated in the heart of this community.

The Centre for Urban Mission seeks to provide a contextually relevant form of theological education and training to equip pastors and evangelists for mission and ministry in some of the most marginalised areas of the city. Currently around 60 students are being trained in urban ministry at the Centre. The aim is to strengthen the work of the Church within the informal settlements by training locals to minister within the local churches. Anglican Aid is providing scholarships for some of the students to train for full time ministry within these communities.

Silas lives in Kibera, and is studying at the Centre for Urban Mission. He has been actively involved in the youth ministry program that the Centre for Urban for Mission has been developing. Silas says, “Until this far I want to thank God for this wonderful opportunity he has granted me to school here. I know that it is not by might or power but by grace that I am achieving this dream. I want to thank all who work tirelessly for my scholarship and upkeep. May God bless your hands in whatever you do and bless your families.”

Community Care Projects

CCF continues to support local Sydney parishes who are assisting the most vulnerable and marginalised in Sydney. This is the list of projects that CCF have funded for 2010/11.

Community Care Fund – South Coogee – BOOKWORMS

In partnership with St Paul’s Anglican Church, Anglican Aid Community Care Fund is helping kids in the Elphinstone area of Sydney to improve their reading ability and their success at school, and have lots of fun and good food. Bookworms is a group for kids in years K–6, after school on Thursday afternoons, that tries to help them improve their reading by giving opportunities to read one-on-one with another person.

Bookworms has lots of books for the kids to read, and also encourages them to borrow books from their school library to bring along. The kids spend time reading things that interest them in a friendly and supportive environment. Other activities include great afternoon teas and playing fun games.

Bookworms is a joint project between the Department of Housing, UNSW CDP, and St Paul’s Anglican Church, South Coogee. All these groups are working hard to support and improve services to the

Elphinstone Rd area, and we would love to hear any ideas you have for other projects that we could undertake.

Jenny Redmond from St Paul’s Anglican Church co-ordinates the group with the help of lots of volunteers. Jenny says “I love coming to bookworms because the kids are

so great. They have fun, but they work hard at their reading too. It’s really satisfying to see them improve.”

Anglican Aid Providing Emergency Relief

New Zealand Earthquake

Three devastating earthquakes struck our neighbours in New Zealand during 2010 and 2011. The city of Christchurch was crippled by the three quakes which occurred in September 2010, February 2011 and another in June 2011. Nearly 200 people were killed in the earthquakes including foreign nationals from 20 nations. Sadly, apart from the numerous fatalities many people sustained serious injuries during the various earthquakes.

The quake was the second deadliest natural disaster to hit New Zealand. The total cost of rebuilding Christchurch is estimated to be $20 billion.

An appeal was opened by Anglican Aid and a total of $28,000 was forwarded to the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch to assist those affected by the earthquake.

Queensland Floods

Widespread and massive flooding brought many parts of Queensland, including parts of Brisbane, to a standstill during late December 2010 and early January 2011, with three quarters of the state declared a disaster zone. The devastating floods forced the evacuation of thousands of people from towns and cities. There were many injuries and more than 35 residents were killed. At least seventy towns and more than 200,000 people were affected by the crisis. Damage was well into the billions of dollars.

Because of the generosity of Anglican Aid donors we were able to distribute much-needed funds totalling nearly $360,000 to the Queensland Archbishop Emergency Relief Fund and the Dioceses of Rockhampton as well as Armidale in NSW and Bendigo in Victoria who were also affected severely by flooding.

Japan Disaster

On Friday 11 March 2011 a massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan killing many thousands of people. The earthquake was the country’s largest recorded quake and the seventh largest on record anywhere in the world. It is estimated that around 23,000 Japanese people were killed in the earthquakes and massive tsunami which followed. There have been 200,000 job losses and tens of thousands of people were made homeless. Funds totalling $9,000 are being distributed aid the rebuilding of homes.



Staff Report

The Archbishop of Sydney’s Anglican Aid in 2010–11 has consisted of 4 staff members.

Rev. David Mansfield (Director), Mrs Suzanne Hayes (Business Manager), Mrs Joanna Ryan (Project Manager) and Mrs Bettina Tong (Fundraising Coordinator).

It has been a pleasing year for Anglican Aid, with many events and a greater profile being established in Anglican churches in our Diocese. Mrs Joanna Ryan left the team in April to go on maternity leave. She has since had a little boy named Benjamin. Mrs Bettina Tong is also due to have a baby, so new staff members will join our organisation in the months ahead.

We look forward to the next year ahead as Anglican Aid continues to work for those in need both in Sydney and overseas.
