CHAPTER 2: Welcome from the Board of Trustees

Welcome to the Southern Africa AIDS Foundation (SAAF) annual report for the year ended 31[st] July 2021.

SAAF is a charitable organisation that aims to improve the health, well-being and standard of living of members of the African community living in the UK, and those of orphans within Southern Africa. SAAF’s mission is to enable children and adults infected or affected by HIV/AIDS to live a safe, healthy and productive childhood and life.

To achieve its goals, SAAF carried out several activities in the UK and in Southern Africa. Elsewhere in this report, you will find details of the activities undertaken over the past year or so, our achievements and performance, and what we intend to do in the future.

In summarising our activities over the year, the effects and measures to prevent the Corona virus Covid-19 continue to

Mr. Chriswell Tinashe Mugodhi Company Secretary.

overshadow our work both in the UK and in Southern Africa. The total income for the year of £1,037,767.00 was raised mainly from members’ subscriptions and donations. The huge increase in our turnover reflects the growth of the Charity in terms of membership, with most members sending more funds to Africa to support families affected by the pandemic.

Within Southern Africa, the provision of HIV medication from Government Agencies and NonGovernmental Organisations (NGOs) has greatly improved. SAAF’s work has in turn changed from prioritizing the supply of medication, to improving the well-being and standard of living of our clients.

The Financial Inclusion Report 2020 -2021 by the Department of Works and Pensions (HM Treasury) for England and Wales found out that people who identified themselves as of Black African origin were:

Over the coming year, our main objective is to improve the standard of living of the African community we work with in England and Wales. Working with relevant partners in the financial services sector, we will target financial inclusion activities we need to carry out to achieve our aims. Our services will be targeted to enabling the community recover from the Covid-19 pandemic with increased access to financial services such as bank accounts, loans, investments and mortgages/home ownership.

CHAPTER 3: Background & History

The Southern Africa AIDS Foundation (SAAF) was formed as a community association in March 2002, in response to stigmatisation associated with HIV/AIDS within the African community living in the United Kingdom (UK), and the seemingly hopeless plight of orphans, known locally as “street children”, in Southern Africa.

At the turn of the millennium, a group of health professionals became increasingly concerned about the apparent lack of knowledge of HIV/AIDS within the African community living in London and the Southeast of England. From discussions at various meetings and events, it was evident that several health professionals were individually trying to educate the community on the HIV virus, and many were aware of or supporting HIV/AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia. These countries are all in southern Africa.

The year 2000 and 2001 witnessed an increase in the immigrant population from southern Africa to the UK due to the adverse political and economic situation within Zimbabwe. During a small period, there was a significant number of sudden illnesses, and in a few cases, death from HIV infection and AIDS related diseases. Cultural practices within the African community often necessitated the repatriation of the deceased to Southern Africa following death in the UK. Often, death of a fellow African meant the community struggled to raise enough funds to cover the necessary expenses.

In southern Africa, children who had lost one or both parents to HIV infection were often, destitute. Social services provision from the state, where available, was often very limited and inadequate. Cultural practices provided for orphans to be looked after by other members of the extended family who were in employment or had adequate resources. The collapse of the economy in Zimbabwe, with the unprecedented high levels of hyperinflation and unemployment, made it more difficult for families to look after orphans, and added to the orphan’s plight. Such orphans would often find themselves homeless and begging on the streets for survival, hence the local name “street children”.

The group concluded that the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS within the community in general, was a result of a lack of up-to-date information on HIV transmission, testing and treatment. As a group, they would be in a better position to support orphans in Southern Africa and to disseminate information in the UK to the African community in a culturally appropriate way. Consequently, this would increase the level of HIV testing and treatment and reduce the number of deaths due to HIV infection. For those infected, Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) and the Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) treatment would improve their quality of life. Such treatment enables people infected by the virus to live longer and as normal a life as possible.

At the inaugural open meeting of the association in March 2002, an executive committee made up of health professionals, a community development worker, a university research fellow, and others was elected to run the affairs of the association.

CHAPTER 6: Structure, Governance and Management

(a) Governance

(i) SAAF is a company limited by guarantee without having a share capital. The governing documents are the memorandum and articles of association registered at Companies House and with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

As a company, SAAF does not operate for profit and has no shareholders; the company does not pay any dividends.

As a Charity, SAAF is governed by its members, who take decisions by ordinary resolution at general meetings of the Charity. The Trustees, made up of elected honorary officers and committee members throughout England, oversee the running of the Charity in between general meetings. One third of the Trustees retire from office at each annual general meeting (AGM). Directors are elected by an ordinary resolution of members at the AGM.

The Charity as a whole ensures that the board has majority members with lived experience; all volunteers have lived experience, and we have a committee that all come from the membership, all with lived experience. The organisation was built off the back of lived experience.

(ii) The following policies and procedures were adopted for the induction and training of new Directors and Trustees.

(b) Structure

The organisational structure of the charity is set out below. SAAF members take decisions of the charity in a general meeting. The Trustees oversee the operation of the charity outside general meetings. There are fifty volunteers and no paid staff.

SAAF organizational structure

(i) Trustees

The Board of Trustees are nominated and elected by members who are entitled to vote at the annual general meetings (AGM). Trustees are responsible for the day-to-day running of the charity as laid out in the Articles and Memorandum of Association. Trustees meet at least once a month, but often more frequently, depending on SAAF business. At present there are five SAAF Trustees registered with the Charity Commission.

Trustees keep their ears to the ground, fully engaging with the young people in the communities that we serve, and trying to understand their needs, because of which, Trustees do what can be done to meet those needs. When people recognise that the organisation is there for them, they also reach out and connect with the Charity in ways that they wouldn’t ordinarily engage.

Their purpose is to:

(ii) Committees

There are a few committees set up to oversee the work of the Charity at different times. We have regional committees, the fundraising committee, emergency food hamper committee, AGM committee etc.

SAAF Annual Report for year ending 31[st] July 2021

11

Regional committees are up of elected members from the local community, and those co- opted to the committee because of their expert knowledge or experience. Each regional committee consists of up to six officers, headed by a chairperson and including a Secretary and Treasurer/fundraiser. Most committees also have an elected vice chairperson, vice secretary and vice treasurer, as well as general committee members. The Chairperson reports to the Trustees.

The Fundraising Committee is tasked with all fundraising activities of the Charity

The Food Hamper committee oversee the distribution of food hampers

The AGM committee are tasked with the planning and delivery of the Annual Gene

Anyone over the age of 18 interested in furthering the Objectives of the Charity can become a member of SAAF.

Ordinary members are members of SAAF who have paid a subscription of £20 and have signed a membership form. Members agree to abide by the SAAF code of conduct and policies, including the equal opportunities policy, as well as the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Ordinary members are invited to general meetings and Charity events. They participate in decisionmaking and Charity activities.

Affiliate members are people who support the work of SAAF. Support may be in the form of a cash or in-kind donation, sponsorship of an event, orphans or someone on HIV medication, or volunteering work for the Charity. Organisations can also be affiliated to SAAF by either supporting the work of SAAF or working in partnership with SAAF with a shared vision, objectives or activities.

Affiliate members are not required to pay subscriptions and do not vote at general meetings of the Charity.

(c) Management

SAAF Annual Report for year ending 31[st] July 2021

12

(d) Risk Management

Risk refers to the uncertainty surrounding events and their outcomes that may have a significant effect, either enhancing or inhibiting operational performance, achievement of aims and objectives, or meeting expectations of stakeholders. Identified risks need to be put into perspective in terms of the potential severity of impact and likelihood of their occurrence.

For each of the major risks identified, Trustees considered the action that needed to be taken to mitigate the risk, either by lessening the likelihood of the event occurring, or by lessening its impact if it did.

SAAF has identified a suitable insurance policy which covers public liability, the Encompass Charity Scheme, which is part of the Royal Sun Alliance LVSC scheme. The scheme is managed by Keegan & Pennykid (insurance Brokers Ltd), 50 Queen Street, Edinburgh. EH2 3NS.

Achievements and Performance

CHAPTER 7: UK Rounds & Support Services

Over the past year, SAAF embarked on a recruitment drive for new members and supporters. This resulted in a huge increase of both ordinary membership and affiliate members, members of the public who gave cash donations or donations in kind.

(a) Increased membership

From an initial membership in Greater London and the south-east, SAAF now has members and regional committees throughout England.

From Dover in the south to Newcastle-upon- Tyne in the north-east, and from Manchester in the west, via Liverpool, Birmingham, Leicester and Norwich in Norfolk in the East. Also in Reading, Luton, Corby, Basingstoke, Hatfield, Chester, Ashford, Salford, Maidstone, Wakefield, Harlow and Stocktonon Tee

SAAF members are now found in almost all counties in England

(b) Food Hampers

During the pandemic restrictions and lockdown at the start of the financial year, several families on zero hours contract or temporary jobs found themselves short of necessities. With the lockdown and travel restrictions, it was impossible to work. Often with no savings and investments, families found themselves desperate. Those with children and entitled to benefits could barely get by, while the majority single people or couples really struggled

SAAF secured grants from Tesco Bags for Life and the National Lottery Community Fund for food hampers. These were ordered from supermarkets online and delivered to the front door of recipient.

(c) SAAF HIV Information Campaigns

SAAF produces leaflets, organizes online information campaigns on HIV using African languages, and in a culturally appropriate format and image, focusing on:

.(d) HIV/AIDS Support Services in England

SAAF volunteers offer support to persons affected by HIV/AIDS living in the UK. Regional self-help groups throughout England organise local activities.

Support may include help with finding and registering with a GP, visiting those sick in hospital and at home; organizing and hosting social events; welfare support; interpretation and translation services; and signposting to appropriate services in the voluntary sector.

(e) Policies, Procedures & Standard Forms

CHAPTER 8: SAAF work in Southern Africa

The Southern Africa region is made up of several countries. SAAF identified several projects in Zimbabwe and Zambia, and in partnership with local communities and voluntary organizations, is carrying out a number of these projects. The projects are evaluated at the end of each year, and lessons learned used to improve. SAAF establishes local contacts and networks through its members. SAAF is working to establish other local projects in Mozambique, Malawi, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, and Swaziland.

(1) Orphans Support Program

Children orphaned by HIV/AIDS are found in almost every country of the world. In some countries there are only a few hundred or a few thousand. In African countries, there are millions. All have suffered the tragedy of losing one or both parents to AIDS related illnesses, and many are growing up in deprived and traumatic circumstances without the support and care of their immediate family.

Factors such as loss of household incomes, the cost of treating HIV-related illnesses and funeral expenses leave orphaned children destitute and deprive them of the learning and values they need to become socially knowledgeable and economically productive adults.

SAAF works with the local communities to reunite orphans with the nearest next of kin, extended family members or other guardians in their own community. SAAF also provides material support to families looking after orphaned children and helps the families to be self-reliant through income generating projects.

SAAF has given material support in the form of:

Within Zimbabwe alone, SAAF is supporting orphans and families in Harare, Mutare, Masvingo, Norton, Chinhoyi, Chipinge, Marondera, Rusape, and Bulawayo.

Case Study 1: Orphan support

Tanya (short name for Tanyaradzwa) was thirteen years old. She had two brothers aged twelve and ten, and a young sister who was eight. Tanya’s father died years ago; she was only six then. Her mother died a year later, leaving a baby only a year old. Tanya became the head of the family, looking after her siblings from begging on the streets.

Tanya’s father had only one brother and her mother was an only child. Tanya’s uncle, George, lived less than 10 miles away in Mutare, Zimbabwe. He was married and had a family of four but was unemployed. He could not afford to look after his family, let alone the orphans left by his late brother.

Tanya’s case was referred to SAAF for help under the SAAF Orphans Program. Tanya was reunited with her extended family, and with the assistance from SAAF, she lived with her uncle and attended the local school.

With the help from SAAF, George could look after his family and his brother’s orphans. He received money every month for school fees, transport and family upkeep. The family upkeep money covered the rent, food, and household bills such as water and electricity. Additional funding from SAAF enabled George to start rearing broiler chickens for sale. He started with twenty-five chickens but now rears a hundred chickens at a time.

Tanya said “My mother and father died after a long illness. They sold everything they had to pay for medicines, but they never got better. My uncle could not afford to look after us, as he was unemployed. I had to beg on the streets and do odd chores for money or food. Thank you to SAAF for your donations and grant for school. I now go to school, have a new uniform and eat two meals every day. I still miss my mother and father, but I pray every day for the support my family and I are getting”.

SAAF Annual Report for year ending 31[st] July 2021 17

SAAF continues to support families in Zimbabwe on its Families Basic Needs Assistance Project which is meant to compliment on what the families already have. With Zimbabwe having an ailing economy, the impact of HIV, the high unemployment rate, and the recent impact of the COVID19, the need for family’s support is huge as many families are no longer able to provide for the basic needs.

The situation has negatively affected children psychologically, physically, and emotionally as they cannot cope or understand what is happening.

Working with Perfect Foods and Essentials (PFE), Tengai-on-Line, Taumark, OK Mart and other companies and suppliers SAAF distributed basic food and essential hampers to families in Harare, Chitungwiza, Ruwa, Morondera, Gweru and Norton, Bulawayo, Mutare, Rusape and Chipinge.

The hampers were packed in different sizes: large, medium, and small. Family size determined the size of the hampers.

The Hamper : Each family received a hamper containing varying amounts of:

CHAPTER 9: Plans

The following is a summary of the strategic objectives that SAAF intends to pursue over the next five years as laid out in the Business Plan:

SAAF was awarded £10,000 from Awards for All (Big Lottery Fund) for Phase Two of the SAAF Capacity Building Program from April 2008 to October 2008. Similar programs are planned for next year 2023 to include Capacity Building and Fundraising. Training is open to Trustees and members needing training particularly around fundraising, business planning, technical knowledge, recruiting and managing staff.

Training is designed to increase SAAF members’ ability to carry out the organizational aims and objectives.

CHAPTER 10: Treasurer’ Report

The total income for the year was £1,037,767 . Sponsorships from individuals amounted to £801,794; Donations received from individuals amounted to £13,671. Membership subscriptions amounted to £840.00 and company giving amounted to £3,357. Gift aid recovered from the Inland Revenue was £207,667 representing a refund of income tax paid on donations, subscriptions and sponsorship received from individuals. Income from Grants amounted to £10,438, of which £9,938 was from National Lottery Community Fund and £500 from Tesco Bags of Help Groundwork UK

The Charity spent a total of £1,031,294 on charitable activities over the year, and £2,123 on governance costs.

A total of £604,559 was spent on UK rounds and support services which included food hampers, rent and bills, education and training expenses. The Charity spent £136,056 on the Africa Orphans support project, which included school tuition and boarding fees, uniforms, stationery, clothing, bedding, transport, and family upkeep. A further £46,276 was spent on the Africa Food Hampers program and £202,879 on the Family Support program. These programs included purchasing medication, food, transport, and family upkeep. Volunteer expenses amounted to £8,423; Printing and stationery amounted to £2,526; bank charges £92; telephone expenses £470; insurance, licenses and registrations £1,205.

The total amount for training this year was £18,370

A total of £2,362 was spent on Trustee meetings. The cash balance at the end of the year was £12,980 and after accountancy fees of £500 and liabilities of £5000, the Charity had a surplus of £7,480 over the year. This has been carried over to the 2021/22 financial year.

The charity incurred very low costs for meetings due to Covid -19 regulations and the lockdown. There were also very low costs incurred for transport, but telephone, postage, and stationery all increased. Members also volunteered their services free of charge and gave other in-kind donations.

A big “Thank You” goes to those members and supporters who made these non-cash or in-kind donations for the Charity’s work in the UK and Southern Africa. The charity kept its costs and expenditure low due to the voluntary work done by its members and supporters. The charity relies heavily on such support and goodwill, without which the Charity will not be able to do its work.

CHAPTER 11: Factors outside the Charity’s Control

SAAF operates in dynamic P olitical, E conomic , S ocial and T echnological environments, all of which have implications for its present and future work. Although external to the organisation, these factors nevertheless must be considered in any strategic planning process.

(a) UK Environmental Factors

Several political, economic, social and technological factors may be critical in determining the course that SAAF may take in the future:

SAAF Annual Report for year ending 31[st] July 2021 23

(b) Southern Africa Environmental Factors

Environmental factors affecting Southern Africa, particularly Zimbabwe, are multiple and complex: political and economic instability, abject poverty, the deterioration of the social service sector, an HIV epidemic, erratic rains, and food insecurity.

When Robert Mugabe was deposed as Zimbabwe’s president in 2017, there was hope that the country would quickly recover from years of economic turmoil and authoritarian rule. Now led by Mugabe’s long-serving security chief Emmerson Mnangagwa, the country is grappling with its worst economic crisis in a decade, marked by unemployment above 80%, acute shortages of foreign currency and fuel, and rolling power cuts lasting up to 18 hours a day.

For most Zimbabweans, daily life is becoming harder as small incomes earned mostly from the informal sector are chewed up by soaring prices that have evoked fears of a return to the hyperinflation of a decade ago.

The government also faces several difficult economic problems, including infrastructure and regulatory deficiencies, on-going indigenization pressure, policy uncertainty, a large external debt burden, and insufficient formal employment.

Dollarization in early 2009 - which allowed currencies such as the Botswana pula, the South Africa rand, and the US dollar to be used locally - ended hyperinflation and restored price stability but exposed structural weaknesses that continue to inhibit broad-based growth.

The subdued growth reflects the challenges facing the economy including limited resources and the high cost of capital; inconsistencies, especially with respect to economic empowerment and indigenization regulations; dilapidated infrastructure; obsolete technologies; frequent breakdown of machinery; and power and water shortages.
