TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2021
Conflicts of interest
We are aware of conflicts and actively manage them in accordance with relevant legislation. At each board meeting trustees are asked to confirm there are no conflict issues. This precludes any trustee benefiting from a financial or other gain arising from any activity of the charity.
Remuneration policy for key management personnel
No key management personnel received any remuneration during the reporting period. In January 2021 Haller’s CEO role was undertaken by Chloe Ford-Welman, supported by the board of trustees. Chloe FordWelman is paid an annual salary for performing the Chief Executive role. None of the Trustees take any remuneration for their roles.
Risk management
The trustees are responsible for identifying the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and ensuring that steps are taken to manage those risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
Purposes and aims
The objects of The Haller Foundation are to advance the conservation and the protection of the environment through the development of sustainable ecosystems. We aim to promote sustainable development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Foundation will aim to work with local communities to develop sustainable farming practices through the rehabilitation of damaged land and promote environmental education by creating an awareness and better understanding of the environment and local ecosystems through training in climate-smart farming methods. We will aim to support community health, education, and social enterprise initiatives with the objective of the communities becoming self-sustaining and self-sufficient.
Beneficiaries of our services
Haller’s beneficiaries are ultra-poor farming communities in coastal Kenya and smallholder farmers in other areas living off difficult land (defined as those who spent 80% of their income on securing food and water). The process for engagement involves communities making an application to Haller Kenya to participate in a partnership known as the ‘Haller Journey’ which involves the provision of WASH, Farming, Advanced Farmer Training and Health & Education (detailed below). To date, 56 communities have embarked on the Haller Journey, 43 of which have achieved self-sustainability.
Each stage is closely monitored by the Haller Kenya team through a process of monitoring and evaluation and impact assessment and reviewed by the Haller UK team during their bi-annual diligence visits.
Principal activities
The charity's main activities are described below. All its charitable activities focus on resourceful & sustainable smallholder farming and are undertaken to further the Haller Foundation’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

THE HALLER FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2021
Haller aligns its priorities with The Sustainable Development Goals of 1. No Poverty, 2. Zero Hunger, 3. Good Health and Wellbeing, 4. Quality Education, 6. Clean Water and Sanitation, 8. Decent Work and Economic Growth, 15. Life of Land.
Summary
We provide a holistic four-stage economic development model which is sustainable and environmentally sound. The model kick-starts a fragile farming community and over a 4-year collaborative partnership, educates them to restore their soils, improve their environment and ultimately build the capacity to achieve economic resilience.
It starts with WASH : We focus on developing the infrastructure to provide water security and sanitation. This includes a rain-fed dam, well and eco-loo. Within 6 months, during normal rainfall and seasonal weather patterns, the community will have fresh drinking water, sanitation, and suitable conditions for smallholder farming. This step alone impacts the lives of the women and children of the community. They do not need to walk hours to collect water and instead are more likely to attend school. Better sanitation and clean water leads to a reduction in disease. Without the need to collect water on a daily basis, there is more time for farming, and for the beginning of more sustainable livelihoods.
The next stage is GROW : With water security in place, the community begins a regenerative agriculture training programme. This takes place at our Farmer Training Centre and in the community, on demonstration plots which they dig and farm collectively. The training is climate-smart and encompasses water conservation, soil improvement, erosion control and terracing. Organic food production is maximised, with the potential of selling any surplus, and nutrition improves.
ADVANCED FARMER TRAINING : Once the basic farming techniques have been successfully adopted, advanced farmer training methods, such as aquaculture, are introduced, thus enhancing nutrition and boosting income possibilities. The community dig their own fishpond, which are stocked with tilapia from our supplies and sweet potato vines are planted around the ponds to reduce evaporation and provide food for the fish. The community are then taught how to maintain the stocks and use the nutrient rich water to irrigate their crops. Elected members of the community are given more advanced aquaculture training on our aquaponics systems at our Farmer Training Centre, to then take back to the community.
The outcomes of the training are farmers translating their training and starting their own family plots, and their successes are often then replicated by neighbouring smallholders and self-help groups.
We introduce the Haller Farmers App at this stage of the programme (see below).
The final step is HEALTH & EDUCATION : Primary healthcare lies at the heart of the Haller Journey; farmers need to be fit to farm. Targeting preventable illness is the first element of our health programme, followed closely by family planning. We have a dedicated family planning service at The Haller Clinic, offering family planning workshops, education, and contraception, which will be a major contributor to family welfare and livelihoods within our communities and wider area. By addressing family planning in this way, it will relieve pressure on available land and reduce environmental destruction.
For communities that have embarked on the Haller Journey, we give a 90% subsidy for healthcare at our clinic and via the mobile clinic. We offer a childhood vaccination programme, antenatal and postnatal care, and talks on nutrition, hygiene, and sanitation.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2021
In providing healthcare in the way we do, we can ensure healthy, thriving communities.
In addition to the Haller Journey….
Our Health Centre is located at The Nguuni Nature Sanctuary and alongside our “Haller Journey” communities, it also supports the more urban communities closer to Mombasa. This enables the centre to be almost self-funded. Since 2008, we have provided treatment to over 96,500 patients, which is, on average, 8,000 patients a year.
Nguuni is also the location of our Education Centre and children’s library. The library serves children from 115+ schools in the surrounding area and has had footfall in excess of 114,000 children since 2008. The Education Centre operates child focused educational activities, mainly in the areas of IT education, environmental activities, business skills, debating and after school clubs.
Our goal is to support thousands of smallholder farmers across East Africa, by providing them with affordable, organic and environmentally friendly farming techniques. In 2014, we launched a web-based Haller Farmers App, designed to improve the lives of smallholder farmers by providing open access to farming techniques and agricultural information. Releasing potential with practical ideas that are sustainable, empowering, and resourceful. Since 2014 ownership of smartphones in Kenya has increased considerably and in 2019, we began a programme to redevelop and expand content, improve the user journey, and increase accessibility through making it available on Google and IOS. This was completed in 2020.
Principle activities to fulfil charitable purposes of the charity include 1) fundraising and applying for grant funding for programmes in Kenya, 2) building strategy and partnerships for expanding impact of organic farming methods, and 3) continued development and improvement of mobile app services for smallholders.
Statement of public benefit
The Board of Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE: REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR
The trustees review the aims, objectives, and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2021
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2021
2021 represents the start of a new phase for Haller. In line with our ethos of sustainability, our vision has always been to create a local organisation that could generate enough income to cover costs, while continuing to support smallholder communities that are increasingly impacted by the effects of climate change. With this goal of building financial and operational sustainability for Haller Kenya, we have focused on developing Kenyan income sources.
By leveraging the potential of the Nguuni Nature Sanctuary for eco-tourism and income generation; redesigning our health services; selling food and vegetables produced at our demonstration farm and operating solely on renewable energy, Haller Kenya is in a position to evolve from being a donor-funded organisation to one which generates its own funding and continues to support farming communities in Mombasa. This represents a significant achievement for the organisation.
Haller Kenya’s evolution into a self-funding model has enabled Haller UK to reposition and build new expertise and credibility in international areas, scaling our method of balancing ecology and economy, ensuring that both people and nature can thrive.
Our integrated outreach clinics adapted to the pressures of the pandemic, and the team continued to promote COVID-19 awareness, whilst also providing treatments for a wide range of health issues. Demonstrations included mask wearing, hygiene methods and social distancing. The work proved vital in disseminating information, given the lack of resources at local Government level. Local vaccination centres have also opened in shopping centres and at the Bamburi Cement Company, where Haller Kenya refer their clinic patients.
Strategic Development
The momentum behind the move to net-zero has given rise to a number of initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of C02 emissions. This includes the development of the Voluntary Carbon Market, which is a mechanism for companies, businesses and individuals to voluntarily offset their emissions by investing in sustainable climate services such as emission removal or avoidance projects.
Haller’s goal now is to develop a certified and sustainable carbon offset project in Mombasa, generating carbon credits to trade on the Voluntary Carbon Market. This would be long-term and designed from the ground up in partnership with smallholder farmers with a focus on cost-efficient nature-based solutions.
This new direction allows us to build on our work and achievements over the past two decades, continuing to play a role in the lives of smallholder communities in Kenya, whilst also making a positive contribution towards the climate and environment.
Evolutions to the Haller Board
Throughout the past year, we have been building a Board of Trustees to oversee our new vision. Our collective goal is to harness new and emerging leaders to further scale Haller’s proven principles and success to date, using our existing model for sustainable development.
We are excited to have welcomed Anya Doherty, Chiara Cappellini, Isabelle Piper, Jamie Sandall, Jess Haller (Chair) with Kim Storey continuing with the role of Treasurer to form a new UK board of Trustees.

The Haller Farmers App
The opportunity to scale our work with smallholder farmers beyond those in physical proximity and the increasing ownership of smartphones was the driving force in creating a Farmers app.
One year after the launch of the 2014 version of The Haller Farmers App, we’ve had the opportunity to further expand our reach by ‘white-labelling’ the app, and adapting the design and content for use in other regions. In partnership with the Romanian NGO, Fundatia ADEPT, we have adapted the app for an Eatsern European audience of smallholder farmers. The new app - ADEPT Farmers - will be launching on the App and Google Play Store in 2022. This partnership has demonstrated endless possibilities for Haller to scale, potentially reaching rural farming communities on other continents. Haller regards this as a significant milestone and evidence of the future potential of the app in a global context.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
As agreed by the Trustees, our main focuses for 2022 are:
-
To assess the opportunities for Haller in the Voluntary Carbon Market, through planning and executing a discovery stage to gain extensive knowledge of the project's feasibility, scope and potential impact. This will ensure Haller’s prospective carbon project upholds environmental integrity and is eligible for certification on the Voluntary Carbon Market.
-
To explore partnership opportunities with existing carbon projects operating in Kenya, while building on Haller Kenya’s successes and approach to smallholder farmers, to ensure a new project is reflective of our existing Haller Journey model.
-
To search for new international Trustees that can bring relevant expertise - particularly in the Voluntary Carbon Market - and governance to the Haller board.
-
To extend the reach of the Haller Farmers App through developing partnerships and by continuously developing its content for example by including health information. Further content and features encouraging farmers to adapt techniques to enable farming in dry conditions to better suit the needs of smallholder farming communities will be added.

THE HALLER FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2021
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a minimum level of £20,000 which provides for at least three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to continue the UK based administrative and operational costs in support of the various delivery objectives. The trustees also consider that, in the event of a decision to cease activities in the UK, the operations of the Haller Foundation could also be wound down within this reserve amount.
The Charity’s level of reserves at the end of the reporting period was £117,135. The trustees consider that the amount of reserves above the required minimum is an appropriate level to provide the resources to initiate a discovery and feasibility study into the Voluntary Carbon Market with the intention of using income raised from the sales of carbon credits to support community livelihoods.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the Haller Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In doing so the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Follow the methods and principles of the Charity SORP; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the group will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
For the year ended 31 December 2021
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 set out on pages 12 to 26.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustee and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
•• follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
••
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
1.(1) accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
2.(2) the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
3.(2) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4.(2) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

THE HALLER FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
For the year ended 31 December 2021
…/Continued
I understand that the financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view, and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following SORP 2015 FRS102, rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 (SORP 2005), which is referred to in the exitent regulations, but has since been withdrawn.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, as updated on 2 February 2016 (SORP 2016), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following SORP 2015 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 (SORP 2005) which has since been withdrawn.
Public benefit entity
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds: this is when any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income is only deferred when: The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or for performance related grants, where these are received in advance of the performances or specific event to which they relate.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is considered all to relate to Charitable activities and includes the costs of delivering services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support
Allocation of support costs
Support and governance costs have been allocated between charitable activities based on estimated staff costs. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 6.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
No judgements have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies and there are no key sources of estimation uncertainty.
Foreign currencies
The reporting currency is GBP. The Foundation operates a no loss no gains policy with regard to currency fluctuations between GBP and Kenyan Shillings. Currency fluctuation is contained within project reporting. Where there are adverse movement in the exchange rate, activities may be reduced to reflect the lower amount received on exchange. The opposite is also true. As a result, the accounts do not reflect any exchange gains or losses that may arise from delivering charitable projects in foreign currencies.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

3. RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS
In 2018, the charity was gifted 850 25 pence shares in GlaxoSmithKline Plc. The transfer was completed on 02 January 2018, and the shares were valued at £11,135 on this date. In previous years, the shares had been held as restricted endowment funds in relation to the health project. During 2021, the trustees reviewed the treatment of these funds, and took account of their obligations in relation to the donation. They found that there was in fact no continuing restriction to this donation, and the shares could be sold or converted and the proceeds could be applied as the Trustees see fit. The shares were revalued at £12,228 at the year end and this has been transferred to unrestricted funds in the current year.
