TnJstee5Annual Rep)rt i !j,; CYFRIFWYR A CHYNGHORWYR ACCOUNTANTS AND ADVISORS SA48 70Y Charity'sAims and Organisation The Objective of the Charity as set out in its governing document are: "To relieve people in the area ofmutemwa, Zimbabwe, who are sufferingsickness, hardship and distress from leprosy and other causes, through the provision of supplementary food, medlclnes, medlcal care, clothing and shelter with the object of improving their quality of life. The Charity operates primarily within the United Klngdom but with the growth of electronic mall we have seen a most pleaslng growth in overseas members and interest. The main executing agencywhlch JBMS fund directlyvia monthly donations are the Mutemwa Leprosy & Care Centre. Kate Macpherson our Secretary is the sole employee and thus we continue to rely heavily on volunteers. The Chalrman and Treasurer meet regularly with the Secretary and with other Trustees both in person and on a vlrtual basi5. All such meetings are properly minuted and copied to all Trustees. Review of Progress and Achievements Our3im continuesto be to help Mutemwa Leprosyand Care Centre become as selfsufficient as Possible. Zimbabwe remair15 under very difficult economic conditions and Mutemwa 15 not exempt from these hardship5 and difficulties. The vast majority of our funding to Mutemwa is to help pay overhead5 including staff salarie5. During the year a Memorandum ol Understanding between Mutemwa Leprosycatholic and Care Centre Board IMLCCCBI and JBMS to try and improve working relationships ha5 been signed. This lays down clear roles arbd responsibilities. It is early days but there continues to be a number of issues largely relating to the country's colonial past. The Franciscans who actually run Mutemwa under the auspicesoftheArchbishop of Harare appearvery reluctantto accept our regularly monthly donations. Resident numbers are much as given in recent years. As elderly leprosy patients die, they are replaced by disabled and other patients through the social services in Zimbabwe. So there is a continuing need for supporting the care centre.
