REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Summary
The Charity provides 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 : The focus is on developing the infrastructure to provide water security and sanitation. This includes a rain-fed dam, a well, and eco-loo. Within six 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 for hours to collect water and instead are more likely to attend school. Better sanitation and clean water lead 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 of 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 maximized, 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 the charity's supplies and sweet potato vines are planted around the ponds to reduce evaporation and provide food for the fish. The community is then taught how to maintain the stocks and use the nutrient-rich water to irrigate their crops. Elected community members are given more advanced aquaculture training on the charity's aquaponics systems at the Farmer Training Centre, to take back to the community.
The training outcomes are farmers translating their training and starting their family plots, and their successes are often replicated by neighbouring smallholder farmers 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 the charity's health programme, followed closely by family planning. The Charity has 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 the communities and the 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, the Charity gives a 90% subsidy for healthcare at the clinic and via the mobile clinic. The Charity offers a childhood vaccination programme, antenatal and postnatal care, and talks on nutrition, hygiene and sanitation.
In providing healthcare in the way the charity does, ensures healthy, thriving communities.
In addition to the Haller Journey...
The charity's Health Centre is located at The Nguuni Nature Sanctuary, and alongside "Haller Journey" communities, it also supports the more urban communities closer to Mombasa. This enables the centre to be almost self-funded. Since 2008, the Charity has provided treatments to over 100,000 patients, immunizing 50,000+ people.
Nguuni is also the location of the charity's Education Centre and children's library. In 2024, the library served upwards of 4,000 children from 150+ schools in the surrounding area and has had footfall in excess of 120,000 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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity's goal is to support thousands of smallholder farmers across Africa by providing them with affordable, organic and environmentally friendly farming techniques. In 2014, the Charity 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 and releasing potential with practical ideas that are sustainable, empowering, and resourceful. In 2025, The Haller Farmers app will continue to expand its reach, becoming available in multiple new languages and enabling future partners to provide new content relevant to regions beyond Kenya.
Principle activities to fulfil charitable purposes of the charity include 1) fundraising and applying for grant funding for programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, 2) building strategy and partnerships for expanding the impact of organic farming methods, 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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
ACHIEVEMENT 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.
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2024
In 2024, the Charity focused on fostering community and ecological resilience in the face of multiple challenges, including lasting effects of the pandemic, rising costs of essential goods, and an unprecedented drought. Through innovative projects and strategic partnerships, the charity has continued to transform lives, enhance livelihoods, and promote sustainability across rural communities.
With the support of Guernsey Overseas Aid & Development Commission, the Community Livelihoods Programme helped over 8,000 rural community members recover from the combined challenges of the pandemic and prolonged drought. The approach was grounded in the charity's key strategic principles: improving WASH facilities, outreach healthcare, and farmer training. This infrastructure programme will provide eight eco-loos and robust hygiene education in three rapidly expanding rural communities, reducing open defecation and preventing disease outbreaks.
The charity's Education and Training initiatives also flourished, benefiting over 6,800 people. With the support of Fondation Eagle, 130 farming champions received intensive training equipping them to share sustainable agricultural practices within their communities at the charity's demonstration farm. School open days at the farm inspired 740 young learners from 16 different schools, teaching them about organic agriculture and technology. Youth health education and counselling were also introduced at the Education Centre attended by a total of 1,306 students. The programme was centred around increasing awareness and understanding the interconnectedness of health and nature and educating children in concepts related to both physical and mental health. The expansion of the Haller Farmers App and Haller's Farmer Training Manuals, now available in English and Swahili, have collected over 60 years of farming expertise in a single, comprehensive source for widespread use.
The Charity built on its educational initiatives with a new partnership with Tsavo Trust. With funding from Fondation Eagle, ICT hubs were established in two local secondary schools in the Kamungi Conservancy neighbouring the Tsavo National Park, bridging the digital divide and improving access to educational materials for 840 students. Sixty laptops, speakers, projectors, and the ARES Educational Server were installed, enhancing learning opportunities in the Kamungi area.
Through the charity's collaboration with Osiligi NGO and Eagle, teachers and students from Western Kenya participated in sustainable farming training at the Demonstration Farm, introducing the charity's approach to sustainable farming and kitchen gardens into boarding schools to enhance food security.
Furthering the charity's mission for social change, the charity partnered with the Samburu Girls Foundation to combat FGM, child marriage, and beading in rural Kenya. With Fondation Eagle's support, the collaboration expanded sanitation facilities at SGF's safe house and introduced hygiene workshops, education on menstruation, and community engagement initiatives to challenge harmful practices.
The charity's commitment to education went global. Thanks to Marr Munning & Fondation Eagle's support, the Haller Farmers app is now being white-labelled, forming the backbone of a global strategy to share expertise with like-minded organisations. In a landmark initiative, the apps reach is extending into the Indian subcontinent through a partnership with Shivia, with the aim to support over 44,000 Indian smallholder farmers with tailored digital agricultural content.
Finally, the charity celebrated its 20th anniversary, a significant milestone signalling two decades of sustainable development impact, improving the lives of thousands of smallholder farmers and restoring degraded landscapes. The occasion was marked with a special evening in London, bringing together the Haller community.

Achievements
Recognition for the charity's work came in the form of two prestigious award nominations: Kenya's NGO Awards 2024 for Best in Education and The World Sustainable Travel and Hospitality Awards for Sustainable Education & Training. The team also showcased the Haller Farmers app at ChangeNOW in Paris, delivered a lecture on sustainable agriculture at Sherborne Girls School, and hosted the 13th Annual Golf Day Event, raising funds to support the charity's initiatives.
From local impact to global reach, 2024 was a defining year for Haller; one of resilience, growth, and meaningful transformation for smallholder communities.
Strategic Objectives (2024-2027)
In the future, the Charity hopes to form new collaborations and partnerships through a social franchising model to scale and adapt the charity's strategy beyond Kenya. The aim is to grow the reach of the charity's sustainable development model, fostering resistance and prosperity across more communities in Africa.
With this in mind, the charity has outlined new strategic objectives, encompassing three critical avenues to achieve sustainable livelihoods and thriving ecosystems:
-
WASH: Working with communities to provide water security, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) creating suitable conditions for smallholder farming and ensuring healthy, thriving communities.
-
GROW: Going beyond just enhancing food production for farmers. The focus is on imparting techniques for healthy and sustainable living, emphasising the vital importance of respecting and safeguarding the land.
-
TECH : Scaling across Africa and globally by leveraging mobile technology for sustainable development. The Haller Farmers App shares the charity's knowledge and through open-access white-labelling, expands its reach via partnerships.
The charity's approach is built on affordability, sustainability, and scalability, focusing on addressing immediate needs while conserving resources for the future. The charity's model, The Haller Journey, combines science and best practices to tackle the unique challenges of smallholders, supporting rural communities in achieving resilience and self-sufficiency.
The charity's flexible, community-tailored projects strengthen local economies, improve health, education, and business management, and protect the environment. Guided by the core Haller principles, the charity fosters collaboration with partners to create lasting, meaningful impact.
The Haller Farmers App
The Haller Farmers App shares 60+ years of tried and tested, regenerative & climate-smart farming expertise and puts it directly into the hands of smallholder farmers. Sharing proven agricultural knowledge based on what has been tried and tested at the Haller Training and Demonstration Farm and then implemented successfully on the ground by our communities. Promoting sustainable growth and improving local food systems, putting life back into the land and strengthening rural livelihoods.
The Haller Farmers App underwent a significant transformation in 2024, culminating in the launch of an updated version in September on both the Google Play Store & App Store. This major milestone was made possible due to the innovative wireframes provided by JP Morgan's Force for Good programme & the technical expertise of Steepsoft AI. The app now offers enhanced functionality, improved user experience, and multilingual support in English, Swahili & French.
One of the most impactful additions is the integration of content from La Maison de l'Artemisia, a global network dedicated to combating malaria through the use of the medicinal plants Artemisia annua and Artemisia afra. Together with La Maison de l'Artemisia, the charity has translated the app into French & contributed valuable insights about these plants, known for their potential to alleviate and treat malaria symptoms.
Finally, the Haller Farmers app now has potential to be white-labelled, which enables the charity to share the technology & expertise with other like-minded organisations, potentially across the globe. This has already extended the reach of the app, created for Kenyan rural smallholders, into the Indian sub-continent by enabling the charity's partner, Shivia, to develop a Shivia Farmers app, with tailored content for Indian smallholder farmers & their unique needs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Charity reported a net loss for the year, before transfers and gains or losses, of £15,163 (2023 - net income of £7,876), details of which are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 10.
Total income for the year amounted to £273,988 and total expenditure amounted to £289,151.
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain reserves in unrestricted funds at a minimum level of £40,000 which is equivalent to 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 restricted and unrestricted reserves at the end of the reporting period was £178,433. The trustees consider that the amount of reserves above the required minimum is an appropriate level to provide the resources to optimise and scale the Haller Farmers app in partnership with like-minded organisations in Africa, with the intention of establishing a white-labelling offering to reinforce the self-sustainability of this digital innovation.
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.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
In line with the charity's strategic objectives and as agreed by the Trustees, the main focuses for 2025 are:
-
To expand partnerships across WASH, GROW & TECH.
-
To build on existing partnerships to ensure long-lasting sustainable development impact.
-
To secure funding to support the charity's network of delivery partners.
-
To continue to support both Haller Kenya and expanding the network of delivery partners through strategic support, funding and guidance in monitoring and evaluation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and 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.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
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:
Computer equipment - 3 years
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
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.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Education
This describes Haller's Youth Educational Activities. These include a Children's Community Library and Education Center providing for child centred educational activities and community outreach. It includes IT education, environmental activities, business skills, debating and after school clubs. The project started with a fund balance of £nil and £23,089 was received during the year. £22,981 has been applied to the project in the year, recording a £108 balance at the year end.

Water, dams and wells
