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 Childrens Village continues to offer care and security to the most vulnerable children as identified by the Village protection Committee. Currently there are 39 children living at the Igoda Children’s Village. As per Tanzanian law once a child reaches 18 they must leave any residential care.
The foster facility for babies who will go back to their mother’s once their health has stabilised, is slowing down so this might be an indicator that the Igoda health clinic is providing a much needed boost to the maternity care offered to mothers in the district.
The Kindergarten school operating at the Children’s Village is going from strength to strength offering a fabulous pre school programme for children both from the village and from the staff and helpers associated with the NGO. Currently 33 children attend regularly.
13 Village home based care volunteers continue to manage regular visits to 3 village where they train first aid and ensure that patients attend their HIV/Aids testing and treatment appointments. They also assess patients for any visting doctor/specialist. The programme is managed through the Home Based Care leader and report back to the NGO.
A team of conservationists are active in the forests of Mufindi protecting the wildlife from snares and traps used to poach as well as planting 30,000 indigenous forest trees.
Together with the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation a new project has been running to identify, train and support disabled and vulnerable youth in the 16 villages in Mufindi District. The project conducts assessments, rehabilitation, carer training, psychosocial support, agricultural and entrepreneurship training and wherever possible addressing gender inequalities.
There is a Youth Project Team who are working together with the Village Child Protection Committes to identify and implement these programmes. Other partners are University of Iringa and Tanzania Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapiests. Further support is given by Southern Highland Rehab Centre INUKA.
