Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)	AIM:The mission of FOMO is to provide and enhance the health, education, shelter, and meet the basic human needs of all orphaned and vulnerable children of Mulanje. OBJECTIVES: To raise the standards of, and provide continuity of care and education to all Mulanje's orphaned children. To raise awareness about issues related to FOMO's activities. To enable FOMO Mulanje, to be self-funding through business ventures. To involve the local and greater community in FOMO's activities.
	Friends of Mulanje Orphans (FOMO UK and FOMO Mulanje) Due to Covid FOMO UK’s ability to raise funds and supple grants to FOMO Mulanje have been very restrictive, but working together FOMO UK and FOMO Mulanje have been able to maintain its programmes in Mulanje. FOMO UK is run by a small board of trustees whose main work is to raise funds, provide grants, goods to FOMO Mulanje and raise awareness of the children's situation. FOMO Mulanje is run by a small board of trustees and administration staff who’s main role is to implement and administer the activities of the individual development programmes in Mulanje. FOMO UK and FOMO Mulanje was established in 2000 to aid Orphans in Mulanje, a district of Malawi, Africa. The seeds of the idea for the formation of FOMO stemmed from the many harrowing stories relayed back to Mary Woodworth from her friends and relatives still living in her home village in Mulanje. During a visit early in 2000, Mary and Keith were able to see and hear of the desperate plight of many of the local Children. Determined to make the idea of FOMO a reality, Mary contacted relatives and friends who over the years had been helping many orphaned children. From this small beginning FOMO became a reality and aims to provide and enhance the health, education, food security, meet the basic human needs and develop the potential of all the needy and orphaned children of Mulanje. The sad reality is that there are too many children in need of help and too few local families that can afford to help. Though there are many high profile agencies within Malawi they seem unable to address the immediate, local, one to one help that FOMO is committed to provide. From small beginnings FOMO Mulanje has grown and now looks after over 2,500 children through a network of 14 centres covering over 85 villages in Mulanje district of Malawi.

TAR

April 2009

FOMO Mulanje is seen as a success by the children, local committees and officers, (DC, TA's, Police, heath workers, social services etc), FOMO Mulanje works by assisting and working with the communities using the traditional values and structures that have served the population in what can only be describes as better time.

FOMO Mulanje's day to day activities are run by a small number of employees, project officer, accountant, playschool teacher, matron plus and volunteers, that help out with the general day to day functions, cooking, sport, gardening club, bees, chickens, choir etc. Each of the 14 centres has a locally elected volunteer committee who are responsible for the day to day running of their centre and they are also responsible for identifying and assessing children in need.

The bridge between FOMO UK and FOMO Mulanje is through our founder Mary, who is in a special position in that she understands Malawi, speaks the language, has a clear view of the injustices and knows how to motivate the local population, and generally is an inspiration and example to us all.

With an eye on the future FOMO Mulanje, run a secondary school, 14 playschools, a Clinic and a tailoring school/outlet. We, when funds are available, sponsor further education for the and children.
