Our Objectives

How we carry out our activities
We can only fund activities that are exclusively charitable and fall within the objects of the charity, which are:
The relief of financial hardship for the public benefit, anywhere in the world, through the provision of grants and funds for educational courses, educational material and items and vocational training.
Grants To Individuals
We may make small grants to individuals to meet a particular need, or in response to a crisis. For example, small grants for paying for the provision of educational materials such as the supply of tools or text-books, payment of fees for instruction, examination connected with vocational training; which would otherwise not be affordable.
We may require you to submit your application through an organisation that has relevant expertise and is familiar with your circumstances, and/or provide supporting information to support your application. For example, we may ask for:
-
- Details of why an item or service is needed, the cost and why you cannot afford it. For example, by providing details of your monthly income and expenditure.
-
- An invoice, bank statement or similar and/or.
-
- Specific recommendations from a trustworthy 3rd party, such as a debt counsellor, doctor or school, as appropriate.
We may ask for supporting evidence, such entitlement to specific benefits, and/or make payments directly to suppliers on your behalf.
Systems and Procedures
This grant making policy ensures that the trustees have appropriate systems and procedures in place. Specifically, it:
-
- Allows trustees to set priorities for funding, which they may change or depart from at their discretion.
-
- Requires sufficient detail in the grant application, and monitoring procedures, to enable the trustees to identify and assess risks and make informed decisions.
-
- Enables the charity to carry out appropriate due diligence on organisations applying for grants
-
- Ensures grants are authorised by the trustees, or within a framework of delegation that ensures appropriate oversight and scrutiny.
The Founder
Dr. Joshua Adegoke, the visionary founder of Ezra Community Helpers, has a story that exemplifies resilience and the transformative power of education. Born in a village in Nigeria to illiterate, peasant farmers, Joshua faced significant economic and social challenges from a young age. Despite these obstacles, he became the first in his family to attend university, a journey that led him to eventually earn a PhD in the UK.
Joshua’s educational journey began at Okitipupa Secondary School in Ondo State, Nigeria. Out of roughly 100 children who started primary school together, he was one of only five to pass the national exit exams, highlighting the immense pressures and lack of resources that claimed many of his classmates’.
