Trustees’ Report

The Board of Trustees of Friends of Amani Tanzania (the Charity) present their annual report for the year ending 31 December 2021 under the Charities Act 2011, together with the financial statements for that year which have been subject to independent examination.

Governance

The Charity was formed in 2005, made its Declaration of Trust on 24 March 2006 and obtained registered charity status on 18 May 2006.

The Trustees are obliged to hold at least two ordinary meetings a year In 2021 due to the Covid pandemic all meetings were held over Zoom. The Trustees met on:

The Trustees apply the income of the charity in furthering the following objectives:

Banking

On 30 March 2021 the Trustees reviewed the current banking arrangements. The Charity account is registered in the name of the Treasurer with the Secretary as counter signature. In order to allow greater access to Trustees, it was agreed to apply for a business account for the charity. The Trustees also agreed to amend Clause 24 of the Trust Deed to permit the

Treasurer, or other designated Trustees, to act alone to undertake transactions to and from the Charity’s bank account. This would make it easier to operate online banking, an essential requirement for banking post Covid.

3

The Treasurer has made numerous attempts to establish a new business account without success. It would appear that banks are resistant to setting up new accounts for charities making international payments. The Treasurer will continue the search in 2022.

Safeguarding

As a UK registered charity, FOAT is subject to the Safeguarding guidelines laid down by the Charity Commission. The Amani Centre is ahead of the game here in many ways and has a Code of Conduct developed by the community workers and written in Swahili. In 2021, we at FOAT resolved to strengthen our efforts to ensure that risks to vulnerable children are managed well and that as Trustees we would keep ourselves abreast of the latest Safeguarding issues. To that end, we now plan a dedicated agenda item at every alternate meeting where we look at specific areas of mitigating risks to beneficiaries. We have a designated Safeguarding Lead on the Board who helps to align UKCC standards with culturally relevant and realistic practices on the ground at Amani and in Shinyanga. A face- to- face Safeguarding workshop is planned for May 2022 and representatives from Amani and Shinyanga will be in attendance.

Trustee and Associate Visits

There were no visits to Amani during the year: Trustees held regular discussions with Fr Beatus (Director) and Emmanuel Mlegu (Assistant Director) by WhatsApp.

Some Trustees and Associates are making plans to visit in 2022.

About Amani

The Amani Centre for Persons with Disabilities, Morogoro, Tanzania is a non-profit making organization that educates and empowers mentally and physically challenged children and youth. Established in 1992 by Josephine Bakhita, Amani has over the last 30 years grown to become a major social partner in the Morogoro area. It aims, with the support of its friends in the UK, to become a model NGO promoting awareness about disability, services for the disabled and broader partnerships for education and care across Tanzania as a whole. In 2010 Father Beatus Sewando was appointed Director of the Amani Centre; he continues in that role and is assisted by Emmanuel Mlegu, a teacher of special needs, now employed as a Schools Inspector in Kilombero District of the Morogoro Region.

Presently the Amani Centre:

About Shinyanga

Projects amongst disadvantaged communities led by the Anglican Church of Tanzania in Shinyanga and supported by Friends of Amani Tanzania (FOAT) are independent from those at the Amani Centre, Morogoro. Funds for these projects are deposited into the FOAT account and ring-fenced for Shinyanga. Payments are made to the Shinyanga Care Ministry Account which is administered by the Diocesan Bishop, Diocesan Secretary and a named church volunteer. In July 2021 Bridget and Leslie were appointed as Commissaries of the Bishop of Shinyanga.

What follows is a summary of achievements by Friends of Amani Tanzania for the financial year ending 31 December 2021.

Fundraising and Awareness

The Charity has five major strategies for fundraising and raising awareness:

  1. Educational partnership and support.

  2. Corporate donations and bids to charitable trusts.

5

  1. Regular giving and gift aid.

  2. Harnessing the good will of UK Amani volunteers.

  3. Events and initiatives.

Examples of each are given below.

1. Educational partnership and support

The Charity has developed a range of important partnerships with schools, colleges, universities and churches. Perhaps as importantly, the number of young people whose awareness of poverty and educational circumstances in Tanzania has been raised by the work of the Charity is significant. The hope is that those young people in the UK who are involved in either fundraising or visiting the Amani Centre will continue to be committed to its work in the future, having learned a great deal in the process. In addition, the links with schools, colleges and universities in the Morogoro and Mvomero regions of Tanzania will not only lead to better resourcing for these institutions, but also to visits for some to the UK.

All student volunteers have spoken highly of their experience on their return whilst offering valuable constructive feedback on how certain procedures may be organised with greater efficiency. A volunteer legacy for Amani Centre and FOAT is the regular giving by those who are able.

Over the years FOAT has been in existence, Trustees Bridget and Leslie Green have developed a network of individuals through their local church (Redlands Parish Church in Reading) keen to support Amani’s work. Since 2020, Bridget and Leslie have developed a further network of supporters, including from other churches, sponsoring Care Ministry work amongst the disabled in Shinyanga.

Trustees are pleased to work closely with an associate, Barbara Bristow who has her own network of supporters in the UK. Barbara normally visits Amani every year but, as with Trustees, she has not been able to visit since 2019 due to Covid restrictions.

2. Corporate donations and bids to charitable trusts

Trustees and volunteers have worked hard to present their work to companies and other charitable organizations who might be interested in donating to the charity. In 2021 the Charity received funds from:

  1. Fonthill Charitable Trust

  2. John Pitman Charitable Trust

  3. St James’ Place Foundation

  4. The Rotary Club of Reading

£2,287

£850 £1,600

£6,300

  1. Lady McNeice Charitable Foundation £19,128 (Shinyanga, Solwa Medical Centre)

3. Regular giving and gift aid

This year for Amani we collected £9,865 from regular donations including the child sponsorship and the social fund (an increase of £880 on 2020). In 2021 we had 25 regular monthly givers (an increase of one on 2020) and a further eight annual givers. The child sponsorship scheme generated £4,520.

By the end of 2021, FOAT had five regular donors for the Care Ministry work in Shinyanga, giving a total of £2,426 for the year.

The Trustees have tried to ensure that regular givers and as many donors as possible, sign gift aid declarations in order to maximize the income to the Charity. In 2021 the Charity received a tax rebate of £3,101. This includes Gift Aid on donations made for Shinyanga projects. In addition further Gift Aid was received via Just Giving amounting to £214.

4. Harnessing the good will of UK Amani volunteers

Several of the former Gap Year students and other young people who have undertaken voluntary work at the Amani Centre have gone on to retain links with Amani and to fundraise for the Charity.

New volunteers and supporters, often with professional and medical skills, come forward from time to time, either via the former volunteers’ universities or places of work, or through the Facebook web pages of Friends of Amani and the Amani Centre itself. While this is something that the Charity is keen to support, we recognize the need both for the young people to play an active and constructive role, and for the Amani Centre to provide relevant project work for them to undertake.

Trustees were delighted to welcome Madalaine [Maddy] Thomas to the Trustee Board in October 2021. After working as a Police Officer with the Yorkshire Constabulary for five years, Maddy had a career break in 2017/2018. She undertook voluntary work in Tanzania during her break, including at the Amani Centre where she met trustees Cathy Swanson and Bridget and Leslie Green during their visit to Amani in 2018. On her return to the UK, she trained as a physiotherapist, graduating in 2021. Maddy’s experience at Amani and in her new career as a physiotherapist will undoubtedly make her a valuable asset to the Trustee Board.

We are fortunate to continue to be supported in our work by Cathy Swanson, who until December 2018 was resident in Morogoro and volunteered a day a month on Amani’s Home Visiting Outreach programme. Cathy is a Safeguarding Officer for Africa Inland Mission International (AIMI). She is still based in East Africa (Kenya) and her work with AIMI brings her to Morogoro from time to time; she visits Amani whenever viable.

It is very unfortunate that the Covid-19 pandemic prevented any overseas volunteers from visiting Amani in 2020 and 2021, but Trustees are hopeful that with the lifting of Pandemic restrictions, there will again be opportunities for overseas volunteers to visit in 2022.

5. Events and initiatives

Normally, the Trustees themselves organize and/or participate in a range of fundraising initiatives, including coffee mornings and sponsored events, such as marathons. Only one such event took place in 2021 due to the restrictions of the Covid 19 pandemic. In March 2021 Bridget and Leslie Green ran a campaign, they called “Feed their minds, feed our bodies”; preparing meals and delivering to the doors of members of their church. They raised £1,575 towards the construction of the first phase of the Amani Mvomero Special Needs Secondary School.

A total of £1,522 was raised via Just Giving; £1,002 of this was due to the efforts of Barbara Bristow (FOAT Associate), who led a campaign to raise funds to build and stock a new pigsty at Amani Mvomero Farm.

Funds received by the Charity through on-line shopping such as Giveasyoulive, Amazonsmile and Paypal totalled £564. This is a decrease of £126 on 2020.

Projects and Funding for Amani

In 2020 and 2021 the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly affected the ability for all charities to hold fund raising events. Not only has the Charity been limited in its own fundraising events but the money from Charitable Trusts has also been much harder to obtain.

At Amani, local support completely disappeared and as a result, the Charity’s focus has been on plugging the gap to provide staple items for survival and support the existing self sustainable projects. Trustees would once again like to express their thanks to the Rotary Club of Reading and The Fonthill Foundation for their assistance.

Whilst the members of the Rotary Club of Reading have been unable to meet over lunch during the Covid 19 pandemic, they have been allocating their lunch money to support a number of projects. The Amani Centre is one of four charities that receive a monthly donation towards their spiralling food costs. The Club has donated a total of £1,858 in 2021.

Leslie Green, a member of the Rotary Club of Reading, was also successful in securing a grant of £6,300 from a bequest to the Club, to drill a bore hole at Amani’s Mikese farm to provide an essential water supply for domestic and animal use. The money was released to Amani in March 2021 and the borehole completed in June.

1. Community-based rehabilitation work and economic sustainability projects at the Amani Centre.

A total of £31,740 was donated to Amani, an increase of £4,175 on last year. This was primarily directed towards supporting the core mission of the Centre. Funds equating to £11,228 were sent for use at the discretion of the Director of the Amani Centre, to include support for staff honoraria, community based rehabilitation (CBR), and social and medical costs. In addition £4,900 was given to the Amani Centre through the Child Sponsorship Scheme.

There was an average of 38 children residing at Amani (Chamwino) who are part of the Child Sponsorship Scheme. A total of 21 of these children have regular sponsors; some sponsors support more than one child. Sponsorship averages £20/month per child. This provides a source of regular income to support the children who reside at Amani’s main centre in Chamwino. All monies from this are collated and used to purchase food, clothing and medicines for all 38 children. All sponsors are encouraged to gift aid their donations. Trustee Rachel Derry, monitors

9

the Child Sponsorship Scheme, communicates with the sponsors and takes the lead on seeking new sponsors. Rachel communicates frequently with Emmanuel Mlegu, Deputy Director of the Amani Centre, in order to obtain regular updates about the children to ensure the information is kept up-to-date.

Each year FOAT pays towards the costs of a community Christmas Party at the Amani Centre which, not only raises awareness in the community of issues of disability and the work of the Centre, but also serves as a way of thanking volunteers and local donors, for their generosity. In 2021, £250 was donated for the party.

Funding is also provided to support a range of economic sustainability projects both agricultural and enterprise that involve members of the Amani staff developing their leadership capacities to provide sources of income that reduce dependency on overseas donors. Improvements to the Amani Hostel and Café, and development of the farmland at Mvomero are examples of such initiatives.

2. School/College fees for young people

The Amani Centre provides a home for able-bodied young people from some of the most rural areas in the surrounding district and pays for their education. In return, these young people assist in the care of the children with disabilities at Amani. In 2021, a FOAT supporter donated £100 towards the cost of the education of one young person. A major donor is no longer able to support this initiative and FOAT is seeking future supporters through its networks.

Many of the families of children who attend Amani Mvomero Special School cannot afford the school fees. FOAT is actively seeking sponsors.

3. Mpapa-Msufini Dispensary

The 10 rooms required under the new Government rules have been built and water tanks installed in 2020 thanks to a very generous private donation in 2019. It is frustrating that despite Amani’s best efforts, the local government have not yet furbished the building or appointed medical workers. The Director of the Amani Centre met with villagers and local government leaders on several occasions in 2021. It seems that the hold- up is due to multiple changes of government staff associated with the appointment of a new President. A meeting at the end of 2021 has led to the initiation of some final construction work for which the Government is responsible. It is now expected that registration will take place and the dispensary begin functioning from May 2022.

4. Five-year Surgery Enablement Programme

The second of five annual payments of £650 was made to Amani in October 2021 from The Park Family Charitable Trust grant of £3,200 donated to FOAT in 2020. These funds enabled a total of nine children from Amani to receive medical treatment at the CCBRT Hospital in Dar es Salaam in December. These children subsequently returned to Amani to receive physiotherapy and occupational follow up.

5. School projects

Primary education

The Special School at Mvomero was finally registered and officially opened in August 2018, although it had been in operation for three years before this. The first intake of students completed their seven years of primary education in December 2021 and all passed their Standard 7 exams enabling them to proceed to Secondary School. The school has now achieved its initial and main aim of becoming a fully functioning primary school, focusing on children with a hearing impairment and other special needs.

The immediate challenge identified in 2020 was for dormitory accommodation for girls. In order for the Mvomero Special primary school to take the final intake of students, giving them the total of seven primary school years, plus a nursery class, two issues needed addressing: i) more classrooms and dormitory space to allow for the final intake, and ii) the visitor space had to be separated from the dormitory to satisfy government regulations. When FOAT Associate, Barbara Bristow visited the centre in February 2020, she met with the engineer to confirm plans for conversion of both spaces. The conversion of the classroom space was successfully completed whilst Barbara was there. Funds were left at the centre to cover the costs for the conversion of the dormitory space. Unfortunately, as a result of Covid-19, the money for the final stage of the expansion works had to be diverted and used as emergency funds. FOAT thus needed to fundraise in a very short timeframe to cover this. The work to increase the dormitory space and to furnish it was £3,000. FOAT launched an appeal in 2020 which raised £900; the remainder of the funds were given by the Fonthill Foundation at the end of 2020 and Amani completed the work in early 2021.

Secondary education

With no provision for students with special needs to study at secondary level in the Morogoro Region, Amani took the decision to initiate a special needs secondary school on the Mvomero site. Following discussions with FOAT, it was decided to do this as a phased approach; by seeking funds to build a classroom (essential for the first cohort of secondary level students to use at the

11

start of 2022), with a second classroom and dormitory following soon after.

Thanks to a grant from St James’ Place Charitable Trust in Newbury (SJPT) and Bridget & Leslie Green’s fundraising initiative in March, a donation of £2,230 was made to Amani in June to construct the first classroom for the secondary pupils. Funding continued to be sought for the second classroom and dormitory.

6. Fonthill

The bid for a grant to create a new curriculum environment for Life skills Development for pupils with special educational needs was received positively by The Fonthill Foundation and two grants totaling £7,140 were received in 2019. A further grant of £1,000 was donated in 2020 in furtherance of this project. In addition, a grant of £2,100 was donated for Covid Emergency. In 2021 a final grant of £2,287 was donated towards the project.

The aims of the project are i) to enhance the students’ educational experience by developing the learning environment at the school, as well as providing the children with vocational skills; ii) to contribute towards the food security for the School, by developing the agricultural environment with self-sufficiency in mind. The project gives the children many more opportunities and more secure pathways for their futures.

Thanks to Fonthill, farming tools and educational items have been purchased to enable the children to utilise the outdoor space to support this vocational experience. The school children can actively participate in planting and harvesting, as well as caring for the chickens and selling their eggs.

A primary aim of this project is the growing of food for the school. With help from Fonthill, the Amani Centre has now purchased some land nearby the school for growing maize, which is more secure than renting land. The school now has seven acres, which should provide all the maize needed for the school. Also, a substantial vegetable garden plot has been developed on the school site. As a result, the children also have the benefit of fresh green vegetables, as well as tomatoes and other vegetables, vital for their health. A chicken project has also now been implemented at the school where children learn how to care for chickens, incorporating the activity into both their curricular and extracurricular activities. Importantly, this opportunity enables the students to gain entrepreneurship and business skills.

7. Economic Social Empowerment Projects

7a Helena Projects – Amani Locality

Economic Social Empowerment projects were first initiated in eight of the wards around the Amani Centre in 2018. These were funded by donations given at the time of Helena Green’s death in 2017. Seven of these projects have continued to function well, providing a social support network to group members and operating small projects to generate income for the families. The project at Sangasanga had failed in 2019/20 due to some of the original members moving away. FOAT, in conjunction with Amani, agreed to fund the training of a group of families from Sangasanga who wished to initiate a Microbank Project. The training took place at the Amani Centre in November 2021 and the group initiated their microbank later that month.

7b Ecumenical social empowerment projects

The ecumenical social empowerment project initiated at Chalinze in 2017/18 has continued to function well. The spin-off from the initiation of a microbank has permitted individual group members to start their own projects, including a small café, a hairdressing salon and food shop. Amani and FOAT recognized that the success of the project at Chalinze was in part due to the proximity of the village to the main Dar-Morogoro highway and being just 50km from Amani Centre so that follow up visits could be relatively easily made.

The ecumenical project initiated at Tunguli in 2017/18 has been less successful. Tunguli is situated in a much remoter part of the Morogoro Region, some five hours drive from Morogoro town, mostly on dirt roads. Access during the rainy season is almost impossible. The original projects chosen by the groups were to rear chickens. They began well but a combination of factors – chicken ‘sickness’, remoteness from Amani Centre, ecumenical project coordinator (who had lead responsibility for Tunguli) moving from Morogoro to Shinyanga, restrictions on movement of people due to Covid etc – meant the projects ultimately failed. With funding provided by FOAT, the new ecumenical coordinator (Rev Enock Chibada) conducted an audit at Tunguli in July 2021. He identified that the groups had a strong desire to re-engage in a social empowerment project. but wanted to start microbanks instead of keeping chickens. Following discussions with the ecumenical team it was decided that training on running microbanks would be undertaken at Amani. Funds were donated by FOAT in October 2021 for the training which was conducted at Amani over a five day period in December involving 10 members from Tunguli, and the ecumenical project coordinator. It was agreed that the ecumenical project coordinator would make the first of the follow up visits to Tunguli early in 2022.

13

8. Ecumenical Outreach projects

FOAT Trustees would like to express their thanks to the John Pitman Charitable Trust whose grant of £700 enabled the ecumenical team from the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches to conduct outreach awareness training in Dakawa Masai Village and Lumbiji village.

During the outreach at Lumbiji, a child with critical medical needs was identified and brought back to the Amani Centre for urgent medical treatment at Morogoro hospital and rehabilitation at Amani. Trustees are very grateful to the John Pitman Charitable Trust for a further grant of £150 to cover these costs.

Projects and Funding for Shinyanga in 2021

1. Solwa Medical Centre

Trustees Bridget and Leslie Green were fortunate in securing a further grant of £19,128 from Lady McNeice Charitable Foundation in May 2021 to cover the cost of additional works identified by the Government Medical Officer needed to meet the current standards for a medical centre.

The facility which opened in November 2020, was temporarily closed in May 2021 to allow this work to commence. The change in Government and failure of the main water supply to the region has delayed its reopening.

2. Disability outreach

Following the disability training delivered by Amani personnel to a group of Christians from across the Shinyanga Diocese at the end of 2020, the Care Ministry team was pleased to start putting their training into practice, starting in the Solwa locality in March 2021 using funds donated by a small number of regular donors to Shinyanga Care Ministry. After extensive visits to locate individual families of children with disabilities, some of these families were brought together to meet with the local priest, Zacheus and other members of the Care Ministry team to better understand the needs of the children and families and to establish a social support network. The challenges of distance and seasonal rains made regular meetings difficult but the plan is to meet monthly.

Outreach visits were also conducted at two villages in the Mwadui locality and two at Maswa. Plans to conduct further outreach were curtailed in part, due to two major health issues suffered by the Rev Stanley Sewando (Care Ministry lead) in June and July 2021, and also time needed to review the strategy for outreach in relation to resources available.

14

3. Education of two girls with albinism at Mwadui Anglican Primary School

While working on a project proposal to develop Mwadui Education Centre, a series of

developments came together which have enabled two girls to benefit from primary education at Mwadui Anglican Primary School. The girls were identified during outreach visits. They are from a family of 12 children whose parents cannot afford to send them to school. The local priest, Jacob at Mwadui and his wife offered to act as foster parents, providing a safe and loving home for the girls to grow up alongside their own daughter. At the same time, a UK based sponsor offered to pay for the girls’ education. The education sponsorship agreement commenced in April 2021.

4. Developing support networks in the UK

In June 2021, Bishop Johnson of Shinyanga confirmed the status of ‘Bishop’s Commissaries in the UK and Beyond’ on Bridget and Leslie Green. In this role, Bridget and Leslie have been working to develop links with churches in the UK to support Care Ministry in Shinyanga. Following a talk given by Bridget to a group of Christians in East Reading in October, Earley St Peter’s Church agreed to partner Shinyanga Diocese’ Care Ministry work for a period of three years, 2022 to 2024. We look forward to developing this link over the coming years.

Financial Review for the Year

The financial position of the Charity at the end of its 16[th] year of operation is satisfactory when considering the economic situation worldwide and the Covid 19 pandemic. Interest in the work of the Charity has increased. In addition to grants from the Fonthill Charitable Trust, John Pitman Charitable Trust and Lady McNeice Charitable Foundation, funds have been received from the St James Place Charitable Trust, the Rotary Club of Reading and VACT (Friends of Amani in the Netherlands). Barbara Bristow continues to work closely with FOAT as an Associate Member and to liaise with VACT. She raised £2,232 (£1,002 of this through Just Giving).

Once again the Trustees have been encouraged by the extent of charitable giving received from:

Income for the year was £55,753.

Expenditure included:

Just Giving costs for 2021 totalling £216 are yet to be paid.

There was a surplus of income over expenditure of £131 for the year. This compares with a surplus of £4,910 in 2020.

The Balance sheet at 31[st] December 2021 showed cash balances of £9,194 and net assets of £8,978.

17

A tax rebate of £3,101 was received in 2021 for funds donated between October 2020 and March

  1. The tax due for funds donated in the period April to December 2021 totalling £11,030 will be submitted in 2022.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Friends of Amani Tanzania

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] December 2021, which are set out on pages 19 to 21.

Responsibilities and basis of report

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts varied out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

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.

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.
