Earlier this month, the Board of Trustees of Survivors Fund (SURF) approved our Annual Report for 2009. You can download it here, or by clicking on the front cover below:

We will be uploading to the website a more user-friendly version (in html) next week.

The report highlights our successes over the past year, as well as the challenges ahead for SURF, our partner organisations, and the survivors of the Rwandan genocide which we are constituted to support. We have strived to be as honest as possible about our work, as well as transparent about the state of our finances.

The report is only as useful as you – our supporters – find it. So please do not hesitate to email me with any feedback. We will be certain then to factor that in to how we report on our work in future years.

What always frustrates me about the Annual Report, is that by the time it is approved it is already dated. However, an important component of the report is our financial statement (compiled by the treasurer), the audit of which is a rigorous process, and only this month has been completed. I will be posting our full audited accounts here in due course.

So thank you all for your ongoing support, and for making all of the work we report possible!
