Orphans in the Wild supports Non Government Organisations (Ngo) in Tanzania, East Africa. The specific nature of the support is financial, increasing awareness of the plight of the children and families who are victims of AIDS, coordinating and shipping donated equipment and goods for schools, hospitals and orphanages.

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)

The activities supported by Orphans in the Wild have been deemed to be of public benefit to the communities of Tanzania and the trustees have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit as given by the Charities Commission of England and Wales. The communities are hard struck but the economic and social impact of HIV/AIDS. Infection rates in this region of Tanzania (Mufindi District) are around 40% which is one of the highest in the country. The impact on the communities is evident in every walk of life. Anti-retro viral drugs are free but the administration is cumbersome and expensive. The disease impacts the working age group leaving the elderly and very young with no support. The children are often kept away from school to help support the family, especially the girls. The social structure of relatives taking in orphaned kids from family is overwhelmed and breaking down leaving children very vulnerable.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Orphans in the Wild supports the NGO Foxes Community and Wildlife Trust in Mufindi, Tanzania. This has one of the highest infection rates of HIV/AIDS in the whole country.

The Igoda Children’s Village continued to thrive throughout 2020 even with the necessary precautions to protect all habitants from Corona Virus. All staff stayed on site and the children were home schooled until June. There are 49 children currently living at the ICV.

The Nursery and Kindergarten taught 36 children using the Montessori based teaching programme. The children are from the local surrounding communities.

The children from the ICV attend primary and secondary schools and graduating with good grades. Some of these children did not attend school prior to their arrival at the ICV, so their achievements are even more impressive.

Orphans in the Wild continue to be the sole sponsor of the Milk Powder Programme and special thanks should go to St Pius Church who fund raise for this programme. This is a vital support to mothers who are unable to breast feed their babies and who would previously have fed them a maize based porridge which is entirely unsuitable for babies.

The NGO has 17 Home Based Care Volunteers who are trained in first aid and are able to advise villagers on hospital treatments and testing providing an invaluable service. They also assess who should be visited by a visiting doctor.

Orphans in the Wild donors funded 102 mixed breed chickens, producing eggs, a much needed source of protein, as well as manure for the vegetables, and some meat.

Wildlife conservation continues in the vicinity with the removal of snares, planting of indigenous forest trees and the facilitation of ongoing ecological monitoring, deploying locally trained antipoaching units. Ongoing monitoring provides a strong baseline for appropriate law enforcement and forest management practises, safeguarding the ecological and economic values that these forests yield to local communities and stakeholders.
