The founder Trustees of A New Beginning were Malcolm Clear , the Managing Director of a Building Company in Sussex ,and Jacqueline Turner , a native of Rwanda now resident in Sussex with strong local connections to the settlement in question and also within the Rwandan Government. To help oversee Phase Two, 3 additional non-executive Trustees were recruited at the end of 2010 ; John Wakely , a retired Head teacher ; John York , a former Chief Executive of an International Company , both of whom live locally to the original Founders , and Ian Newbery a practicing lawyer resident in Dorset . . None of the Trustees have derived, nor intend in future to derive , any financial benefit from A New Beginning , in fact they have been amongst the principal providers of funds to date and will continue to support it financially until completion .
Mission Statement A New Beginning was established in 2008 with a mission to assist a group of Rwandan citizens, predominantly widows and orphans displaced during the genocide in 1994 and now resettled by the Rwandan Government in an area of hitherto uncultivated savannah , to speed the pace of economic development within the community and to achieve economic self-sufficiency and self-governance within five years. During Phase One of the project , which covered 2009/10 , an appropriate infrastructure has been put in place to realise their fundamental human rights to basic education , healthcare and welfare and to harness their latent ability to work together as a community . During Phase Two, starting January 2011, they will be helped to achieve self-sufficiency by the end of 2013 through ongoing investment by A New Beginning in educational facilities/ training and natural resources , centred on a collective farm serving the entire community , run on environmentally sound principles and designed for wealth creation by making maximum use of locally –available materials and community labour.
