THE BUTTERFLY TREE
Annual Report and Accounts 2023-24
----- End of picture text -----

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

I am delighted to present to you The Butterfly Tree’s 2023-2024 Annual Report and Accounts. This has been the second most successful year since the founding of the charity in 2006. More schools have been developed. Both Riverview and Musokotwane Secondary schools are undergoing expansion after members of The Murphy Family Foundation joined me in Zambia to see firsthand how we are spending their donations. Both schools received funding to build additional 1x3 classroom blocks and to supply computers for their sciences labs. A new secondary school in Nguba is being built, this will be the fifth of its kind implemented by the charity. A 1x2 classroom block was completed for Katubya Community school in Musokotwane to replace the mud and pole construction. Bbombe Lyangoma, another community school, is to receive a 1x2 classroom block, toilets and a teacher’s house. Once we have completed the infrastructure for schools, we hand them over to the Ministry of Education who provide trained teachers and the ongoing costs.

The orphan sponsorship progamme funds the educational needs of orphans and vulnerable children, many live in extreme poverty and being looked after by their elderly grandparents. Though the government recently abolished school fees these are only a fraction of the costs. Money is needed to buy school uniforms, shoes, bags, books and for exams, and other school expenses. This programme has helped to transform the lives of thousands of young people. In addition, we are currently sponsoring ten students at universities and colleges. Seven former sponsored pupils after undergoing extensive training have been enrolled into the army, one as a junior officer.

We continue to support children with special needs, three units built by The Butterfly Tree received donations for materials and equipment. A young amputee, under our sponsorship programme, won three awards at Riverview’s prize-giving ceremony, passed grade her grade nine exams, and was offered a place at Kazungula Boarding school. We initiated a worthwhile project entitled ‘Empowering Young People with Physical and Mental Health Challenges.’ This comprises of chicken rearing in Mukuni, and goat rearing in Kamwi and Ngandu to provide a sustainable income-generating enterprise for these vulnerable young people.

A new health post was developed in Mabwa, a remote area of Nyawa. This included the construction of a clinic, two staff houses, toilets, a biodigester for waste, and a borehole. The facility was fully equipped, and solar power was installed. As this area has a high prevalence of malaria, we donated mosquito nets to the schools in the vicinity and also to Kauwe zone. Our ‘mosquito nets for schools’ is proving to be highly effective in reducing the numbers of malaria cases.

In March this year the President declared a state of Disaster and Emergency as a result of a severe drought predominantly caused by El Niño. The poor rainy season and extreme heat caused crops to perish and vegetable gardens to wilt. Most of the income in rural villages is generated from subsistence farming, which also provides food for households. The water situation is dire, I have never seen the Zambezi River so low in April. This is the time of year when an abundance of water cascades over the mighty Victoria Falls. Knowing that no rain was expected until October it painted a concerning picture. To provide help to schools and communities that rely on streams and rivers for drinking water The Butterfly Tree drilled eight boreholes. It is imperative that we install more, without water no life can survive. Thanks to receiving four substantial donations twelve more drills are scheduled for the coming months.

Continued…

The drought has obviously had an impact on the women’s food security projects, and we are doing everything we can to support them. We are including these women in our distributions of ground maize which we provide for those most in need, especially orphans and the elderly who have no source of income. We have implemented four more sustainable food security projects at Siambalele, Musokotwane, Mukuni and Senkobo to assist with the food shortages and to provide income generation. All have solar-powered water reticulation systems.

I am so impressed with our trained peer educators and participated in one of their workshops in Kauwe. The zone recorded a high number of teenage pregnancies in 2023. The peer educators who were on our orphan sponsorship and have now completed school educate pupils about the dangers of HIV, teenage pregnancies, early marriages and drug and alcohol abuse. The workshops allow pupils to be open and talk about their problems. One school reported a reduction of teenage pregnancies from seven in 2002 to only one in 2023.

Sport keeps young people occupied and prevents them getting into of trouble. We sponsored football tournaments and provided kits for school teams. Tow of our Zambian trustees were hosted by the organisers of the Blackpool Cup, an annual event for European school football teams. Martin and Mupotola travelled from Zambia to Blackpool and had a wonderful time watching the school matches and going to Liverpool’s stadium, as well as being taken to a premier league match and site-seeing around the area.

We were honoured to receive two further awards during the 2023-24 period. We were chosen as the International Support Organisation of the Year for the 2024 Innovation and Excellence Global Awards. In addition, The Butterfly Tree was the winner of the Youth Education Nonprofit Organisation of the Year for London and the South-East of England. These awards give our work in Zambia more exposure, help to create awareness and give a boost to our teams in the UK and Zambia.

Its hard to believe that The Butterfly Tree has been operating since 2006. Though we work only in the Southern Province of Zambia we are making a substantial impact, and we are the biggest contributors to education in the Kazungula District. It covers an area of 16,835 km² and is the largest district in the province. Compared to other Provinces the south was neglected. Most of the projects we support are in remote areas that get very little aid from anywhere else. We also have several projects in the rural areas of the Livingstone Districts. Our aim is continue developing more education and health facilities and to provide clean water and food security for orphans and vulnerable people.

Last year The Butterfly Tree registered as a Charity Inco-oporated Organisation - the benefits of being a corporate body is that we need only to comply with one set of laws, charity law, and only one regulator, the Charity Commission. Therefore in 2025 we will be changing everything over to the CIO. Nothing will change, except for the bank account as the bank state that a new account must be opened. For those who donate monthly we will give you advanced warning

As always, I am grateful to my fellow trustees Ann, Jackie and Victoria who joined the Butterfly Tree earlier this year, for their invaluable help with accounting, safeguarding and fundraising. Anthony resigned as a trustee in February due to other commitments but will remain as an avid supporter of the charity. Many thanks also to volunteers David, Carolyn, Valerie and Steven for giving up their free time to help with IT, fundraising and youth projects, and to Frank Maiola, our US representative. Our Trustees in Zambia are the ones who implement, manage and monitor all our projects on the ground. Mupotola Siloka (secretary), Rev. Presley Mulenga (education), Martin Mushabati (project management/sport) and Stain Musungaila (malaria prevention and community projects). Each of them has volunteered for the charity prior to and since the registration of the NGO in 2007. Also, thanks to our Zambian volunteers who manage a variety of programmes. Natasha Mufeya, (orphan sponsorship/peer education/girls’ empowerment), Mafian Sitali (orphan sponsorship) and Lloyd Kasela (community projects, Nyawa). All our members both in the UK and Zambia are volunteers and are committed to helping young people to change their lives for the better.

The Butterfly Tree mainly focus on education in remote rural areas with the exception of River View Primary and Secondary Schools at the Kazungula border. We have now offered support in all five Chiefdoms of the Kazungula District and also the Livingstone and Zimba District. Projects range from donating textbooks to building entire new schools. After building a new school or expanding an existing one the facilities are handed over to the Ministry of Education who provides trained teachers and ongoing funding. In addition to our local trustees, we work with volunteer teachers who assist us with management of projects in outreach areas, send reports and identify areas in need.

We cover a radius of 300 km from our base near Livingstone. Schools listed on the following pages have all received support. Some are schools that we have built from scratch, while others have been expanded, offered educational materials, boreholes and support to create sustainable feeding programmes.

HEALTH PROJECTS 2023-24

Rural health centres and health posts provide vital facilities for general practice, HIV and malaria testing and treatment, antenatal and postnatal, as well as vaccinations for children. The Butterfly Tree has completed another health post, this time in Boombwe, a remote area in Musokotwane Chiefdom, where previously people had to travel up to 68 km to N’gwezi health centre to seek medical attention.

The following health activities took place:

‘ On behalf of the community, we would like to thank The Butterfly Tree. For Boombwe this donation is like a dream as we have been without a such a facility for many years and had to walk long distances to seek medical care, for some it was more than 60km. This resulted in relatives losing loved ones and women giving birth along the way before they could reach a clinic. As a community we are very happy for what The Butterfly Tree has donated. All the problems we had, have now been solved.’ – Community Leader

MALARIA PREVENTION

The World Health Organization World Malaria Report 2021 estimates that there were 241 million malaria cases, including 627,000 deaths , worldwide in 2020, which represents around 14 million more cases, and 69,000 more deaths, than 2019.

After identifying that many Zambian school children are not protected against malaria because priority is given to children under-five years of age and pregnant women, we pioneered a project to help prevent children from contracting malaria. This persistent disease can cause long-term complications in children and until a vaccine is widely distributed, they need protection.

As a result, ‘Mosquito Nets for Schools,’ was launched in 2017, which is proving to be highly effective in reducing malaria cases in school children. Schools where pupils and teachers have been given a mosquito nets, have reported fewer cases of malaria, and less absenteeism from school.

During 2023-2024 The Butterfly Tree distributed 1,920 mosquito nets for schools in Maba area, and Kauwe zones.

.

HIV PREVENTION

• HIV prevention workshops are vital in helping to prevent the spread of this destructive virus. There is a high prevalence of HIV in some areas in the Livingstone and Kazungula Districts.

• Workshops. implemented by our trained peer educators, took place at Mukuni, N’gandu, Kamwi, Riverview, Senkobo, Musokotwane, Kazungula and Kauwe secondary and primary schools.

• Football tournaments were held in December for boys and girls in December 2023. Before the start of matches, players are given a talk by our peer educators about the dangers of HIV, teenage pregnancies, and drug and alcohol abuse.

• Our aim is to expand this programme throughout the Kazungula District, especially in the remote rural areas where children are not exposed to change.

WATER & SANITATION PROJECTS 2023-24 SUPPORTING THE UN DEVELOPMENT GOAL SIX ‘CLEAN WATER & SANITATION’

A severe drought due to lack of rains caused by El Niño is having a devastating impact on rural communities in Zambia. Most people are subsistence farmers who grow food for their own consumption and to give them a sustainable income.

Boreholes were installed for the following schools and communities:

Sanitation

FOOD SECURITY 2023-24 SUPPORTING THE UN DEVELOPMENT GOAL TWO ‘ZERO HUNGER’

SUSTAINABLE WOMEN’S PROJECTS

Women in rural areas appear to have the greatest burden. In addition to looking after their children and educating them, they must travel a long distances to fetch water and work in the field.

‘If you help a woman, she will help her entire family.’

TESTIMONIAL FOR MANGOES OF HOPE

‘We had knowledgeable facilitators and have learnt how to process mango juice, mango jam and dry mango. As women we received the project with both hands as the project will help may especially widows, orphans, vulnerables, and the aged. It will help us to take care of our children and widows. It will be source of income to help improve diet from having one meal to at least two or three daily.’ - Secretary of the Mangoes of Hope project.

ENVIRONMENT

28[th] November 2023 was Call to Earth Day, a worldwide celebration of our planet, and an opportunity to do something positive to protect it. The Butterfly Tree sponsored the following campaigns:

COMMUNITY HOUSES

Community houses are donated to orphans and vulnerable children on The Butterfly Tree’s orphan sponsorship programme, and to widows and the elderly. Some of them are child-headed homes, where the oldest child looks after siblings. Eight homes were constructed during 2023-24. These traditional dwellings are bigger than the usual ones. As many of the orphans are being looked after by an elderly grandparent, they can be found sleeping in dilapidated mud and pole constructions that let in water during the rainy season.

SPORT

FOOTBALL

The Butterfly Tree engages youths, boys and girls in football as a way of creating awareness of the dangers of HIV, teenage pregnancies, early marriages, and drug and alcohol abuse. We sponsored football tournament for both under 17 boys and girls and donated a sports kit to pupils attending the special education unit at Mukuni primary.

Thanks to the Blackpool Cup, a youth football tournament held annually in Blackpool two of The Butterfly Tree NGO trustees, Martin Mushabati and Mupotola Siloka were invited to attend the event held in April 2023. They were sponsored and hosted by the Blackpool Cup and were also taken to a premier league match.
