Medical & Educational Aid to Kenya (MEAK)
Chair's report
For the year ended 31 December 2025
MEAK enjoyed another satisfactory year in 2025 supporting people in need in Kenya. We had many
pleaslng achievements for the betterment of the lives of many disadvantaged and underprfvileged
Kenyans, and we extend our gratitude to our generous donors who, appreciating what we are seeking to
aehleve, have readily added their support. The end of year report details our athievements which Included
three eye missions, dental and educational missions.
The programme for 2026 was initially affected by the withdrawal of our sponsors for the February
children's surglcal heart mission, to the Coast Generdl Referral and Teaching Hospital In Mombasa, quoting
the high costs of transporting and accommodating a team from the UK, and consequently poor per patient,
value. This Is an ongoing problem when trying to raise funding for open heart operations, this form of
surgery remains one of the most expensive medical procedures, and it is often calculated, that many more
patients, wlth other less complicated medical problems, can be helped for the Same finanoal outlay.
We send our thanks and gratitude to MEAK trustee Alexandra Savis who retired from the board of trustees
on 5th May 2026. Alex has been a stalwart stspporter of MEAK for over 20 years and been an invaluable
help wlth the organlsatlon and runnlng of our many paediatric cardlac surglcal mlssions. We wlsh her every
success wlth her addltional responsibllities and promotion at the Evallna Chlldren's H05Pital London.

Medical & Educational Aid To Kenya (MEAK)
Trustees. Report
For the year ended 31 December 2025
The trustees present their annual report and finanual statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The financlal statements have been p￿pare{l in accordan￿ with the accounting policies set out In note I
to the financial statements and comply with the charity'5 goveming document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS
102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities

ObJ•ctSv•s and actlvltles
The relief of sickness, povertyi the p￿SerVation and protectlon of public health and the advancement of
education in Kenya and neighbouring countries.
The activities carried out by MEAK are for the public benefit, and in furtherance of its objective5 are the
raislng of money and support to iniliate and undertake projects in four broad recvrrlng area5.
Achlevements and p•rfomian¢¢
It is fair to say that we had some stdking successes. but also some setbacks and frustratlons. Regular
followers of our charfty Y4111 know that we carry out our charitable efforts exclusive5y in Kenya- this includes
holding eye and dental surgery in the remoter outreach, areas, carrying out open heart surgery on children
in the capital and Mombasa, also SUPPOrting edutational establishments, by means of grants lor
development.
During the famine In Samburu Sn 202312024 we branched out, on a purely temporary basls, on emer*Jen
feeding programmes, providlng three week5 of staple foodstuffs to an estimated 109,000 people in that
area. This programme tailed off and then completely stopped in 2025.
Our major achievement in 2025 was organizing and the carrying out of three outreach eye misslons to
very remote areas. During these missions we saw over 9,200 patients, carried out 815 eye surgerles,
2,232 dental procedure5, ond furthermore, distributed 2012 pairs of reading glasses, 650 pairs of
sunglasses, a further 80 with photochromatic lenses, as well as han*Jin9 Out 8,200 medical and vitamln
eye drops.
Despite these irnpres5ive achievements we were disappointed that a fourth eye mlsslon dld not take place
In the early months of the year; this was because the M P for that area would not slgn our standard
Memorandum of Understanding. Hearing from his colleagues of our impre55ive 5u¢¢esses In the other
areas he has since ￿-aPproached us, indicating that he is now ￿adY to sign. We will now be tryin9 to flt
hls area Into our programme for 2026.
Two further dlsappolntments in 202S were our inability to Secu￿ funding for the new heart and lung purnp
that we hoped to provide to Coast Province Teaching and Referral Hospital; and then, later in the year, our
donor withdrew from a proposed open heart surgical trip to the same hospital to operate on chIld￿n with
heart dlsease.
In both these cases the cost proved to be the deciding factor, which underlines, what is betoming
increasingly apparent, that raising charitable donatbons in this economic climate is becoming progressively
more difflcult.
We We￿ however dellghted at the pro9￿￿ being made at the Goodhope Academy in Ndaragwa. Thls
small school (236 children) ha5 been the target of support from MEAK for the past three year5 and the
progress is both pleasing and encouraging.

Medical & Educational Aid To Kenya (MEAK)
Trustees. Report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2025
The new Assembly and Dining Hall Y4as completed and furnished in May,. thls has proven to be a fantastlc
boost to the s¢hool in both usability and esteem. Open days, concerts, and prizegiving's are now ￿gUlar
oCcurren￿s, 5eaFnlessly complementing its daily use as a dining hall. The second building project, which
was the erection of a new two storeyi four classroom block, with additional office and storage space, was
98Qh complete at the end of December, with the final painting and snagging being due for completion
befts￿ our vlsit at the end of January 2026.
We a￿anged for the collectlon, loading and dellvery of a 40ft sea container to be sent to the school. This
was very generously supported by friends. who agreed to pay the Cost of shipplng St to Mombasa. The
container was filled with freely donated 5POrts equipment and sportswear, rnu5ical instruments, books,
bookshelves, toys, clothing and school fumiture as well as computer equiprnent, lockers, awnings, and
kStchen equSpment. A verltable cornucopia of exciting benefits for the school. It is planned for thi5
container to get to the school 6 days before we arrive for our trip )t the end of January. It will be an
exciting time for us all.
Flnanclal revlew
The charlty's flnance remains in a healthy k)OSition havin9 depleted by £14,257 over the 12 months pedod,
despite us a¢hlevlng signlflcant accomplishments. Thi5 reInfor￿S the careful and prudent ¢onservation of
the charity's assets by the board of trustees and demonstrate5 our ability to fund our planned proJects in
2026.
The Trustees endeavour to maintain sufficient ￿serveS throughout the year to p)v for known Ilabllltles. At
the period end the Charity had ￿erVeS of £140.61712024'. £154,874).
A total of É94,707 {2024: £110,673) was received during the year to fund medlcal mlsslons and related

Grants are made when appropriate and in furthernnce of the Charity's objectives.
other than the holding of rnonies in current and short-term deposit accounts, no other investments have
been made in the accounting perlod.
There are no specific investsnent powers.
PlaTrs lor future perlods
In 2026 MEAK proposes to carry out four further eye camps to remote areas of Kenya. Our target will be to
carry out another 1000 cataract operations during the year taking our runnlng total to over 20,000.
It 15 also hoped to offer further assistance to the Goodhope Academy. It should be mentioned that our
support for thls school will largely depend on the conversion of its ownership, from the present proprietor
to an educational trust. An educational trust will ensure the longevity as well as the future of the school as
a teaching establishment. If thi5 is achieved, MEAK and others will have the confidence to invest In an
establishment, that will not be imparted by persorsal family circumstance5 that could irnpede its
progression. MEAK is prepared to help and assist tjoth with guidance and, if necessary, financially, in
achieving this status.
We are very excited at what has been, and what can be, achieved at this sthool, which is showing a strong
vision of the future, and is certainly making an impart on rurnl education. It is our view that this is a high
pxjtential school at a pivotal stage of its joumey.
