## Hope for Tanzania Trustees Annual Report 2020 

## CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

## Governing Document 

Hope for Tanzania is governed by its Trust Deed dated 3 March 2008. It is registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1124470. 

## Objectives 

The objects of Hope for Tanzania, as set out in the Trust Deed, are to advance education in accordance with Christian principles and to relieve poverty in particular, but not exclusively, by improving employment prospects of individuals and communities by such means as the trustees may consider appropriate including by means of establishing and operating any educational or training establishment or establishments and by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind including support for small businesses in such parts of Tanzania. 

Hope for Tanzania works in the following areas: 

- assisting Tuishime Pre and Primary School to educate its pupils. 

- supporting community projects to improve education, generate income and improve employment prospects. 

- supporting individuals in Tanzania to improve their education. 

- promoting the Christian faith through education. 

- providing short term opportunities for people from the UK to visit Tanzania. 

## How we work 

We rely on finding trustworthy and capable individuals in Tanzania to ensure that funds we distribute are used effectively on designated projects so as to avoid misappropriation of funds. We are satisfied that our key contacts at Tuishime School and in Singida and Dar es Salaam are such individuals and that funds have been used for the specified purpose. Our regular visits, during which we make observations and talk with individuals, and regular communication with contacts in Tanzania give us additional confidence. 

We are delighted that Tuishime School continues to be almost financially independent of Hope for Tanzania apart from the help we provide through our child sponsorship scheme. This maturity in the school situation has given us freedom to move our principal focus to other projects such as mission work in Singida. 

The child sponsorship scheme, in particular, allows some families to send their children to the highly successful Tuishime School. We have also provided financial support to a few students as a result of hardship. 

We are very keen to minimise the possibility that an individual or project becomes unduly dependent on Hope for Tanzania and make it clear at the outset whether funding is of a seed nature or not, how much we will fund and for how long. We fund according to Christian principles, and pray regularly, in order to maximise the benefit that our support provides. The projects that have been supported in 2020 were solely for the benefit of people living in Tanzania – students, children, families and communities. Our programmes are run for the benefit of people irrespective of their religion, gender or age.

## What we did – Activities, Achievements 

In setting objectives for the year and allocating funds to projects, trustees have complied with their duty of care in regard to the public benefit guidance as published in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 by the Charity Commission. The trustees always ensure that its programmes are in line with the charitable aims and objectives of Hope for Tanzania. During 2020, Hope for Tanzania carried out its activities in Tanzania for the public benefit as follows: 

We were unable to visit Tanzania during the year due to travel restrictions arising from uncertainty around the Covid-19 virus. We are thankful that the virus appears to have had low level impact on Tanzania with life quickly returning to normal after a short period of minor restrictions for people. Official figures, last reported in May 2020, showed that few people had tested positive or died. However, this is unlikely to be the true situation. Life has continued to be tough for people living in cities as many have lost their jobs. Those who have lost income struggle to buy food for their families and life remains very tough. We have helped some people as we had resources but know that many more are suffering in the country which is unable to afford state benefits. 

## Tuishime School 

The School was closed for about 3 months due to government restrictions during which time parents did not pay fees so staff were not paid salaries although the School provided basic food supplies. Even when the School re-opened in June, parents were unable or reluctant to pay fees, which resulted in continuing hardship for staff as they only received partial salaries. We were able to assist with an additional hardship payment as well as the usual annual donation arising from the sponsorship scheme. Currently 14 children are being sponsored. The School remains in financial deficit and lacks money to pay the salary arrears. 

At the end of 2020 the School had 379 pupils of which 184 were boys and 195 girls. During the year, 33 new pupils of different ages joined the School. All teachers have worked hard to ensure they covered the complete curriculum. The School continued to hold monthly exams which were used to assess how much each child had learnt and understood, as well as preparing them for Standard 4 and 7 national exams. In addition inter-school exams were held which helped teachers understand the relative abilities of Tuishime School pupils compared with those in other schools. Pupils performed well in exams with one pupil achieving a top 3 position (out of 365 pupils) in Arusha district exams. All students passed the national standard 4 and 7 national examinations which continues the 100% record of achievement. 

Five new teachers were employed during the year and new appointments made of school leaders - assistant academic teacher and deputy head teacher. We are satisfied that a secure business has been built up over almost 20 years which has supported the families of staff, shopkeepers, tailors and food suppliers with a stable income. The threat of the government to heavily tax the private school sector appears to have receded and their value to society and the education of children is now regarded more favourably. 

Sadly attendance at parents meetings has been poor, which is probably related to uncertainty over the coronavirus. Only a few study trips were organised due to the coronavirus, with trips being made to Lake Manyara NP and Kisongo airport where pupils learnt about weather patterns. 

5 



The school has flagged up the following needs: increased financial support to pay salary arrears, replacement computers for the IT suite as many are not working and sports equipment. 

## Support and Education of Individuals 

We have increased our training budget for the young generation of Tanzanians to continue the church planting work we have been carrying out during the last few years and have invited applications from Christians to be trained as pastors and children’s workers. We started supporting JJ to study for a diploma in pastoral theology at Central Bible College (Dodoma) and NC to undergo a one year children’s worker’s training course in TAG College (Mwanza). 

We provided living expenses for IR and SC who were experiencing financial hardship due to the covid-19 pandemic and to Pastor Osinde to alleviate hardship in his church. We have continued to support AS, an ex-Tuishime School pupil, in his form 5 education at secondary school. 

## Singida 

We funded a church building in Ulyang’ombe village which has now been completed and is fully used by the steadily growing church of about 100.  The TAG church in Tegero village started construction of a church building using their own resources and we were able to help by purchasing roofing materials. Sadly, a strong storm demolished the building which is now only a pile of rubble due to poor foundations and blockwork. However, the roof materials remain salvageable and will be used in the re-build. We are evaluating our response to this tragedy. 

We funded a mission vehicle for Pastor Deo which will allow him to travel to rural villages all year round rather than only in the dry season. We deemed it to be a more cost effective option for him to buy a 4WD vehicle in Dar es Salaam than Hope for Tanzania buying one in UK and then shipping to Tanzania. This has turned out to be the correct decision as a vehicle of a higher quality and lower price was purchased in Tanzania compared with that we could source in the UK. An additional benefit is that we won’t need to hire a vehicle for mission trips which has been necessary during the last few years. 

We continue to be encouraged by church growth in Singida and from the benefit that Deo brings to them during and after the visits he makes.

## Financial review 

## Political and charitable donations 

There were no political or charitable donations made during the period. 

## Statement of Trustees responsibilities 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company for the year and of its incoming resources and resources expended during the year.  In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any materials departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue to function. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant Companies Act and Charities Act.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## Independent Examiner 

These financial statements have been examined by Hugh Gunn. This report was approved by the Trustees on 10[th] April 2021.

## Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Hope for Tanzania 

I report on the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity’s gross income exceeded £25,000 but was below £500,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Certified Accountants in England and Wales. 

Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## Basis of independent examiner’s report 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or 

- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Hope for Tanzania Trustees Annual Report 2020

We continue to be encouraged by church growth in Singida and from the benefit that Deo brings to them during and after the visits he makes.

## Statement of Trustees responsibilities 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company for the year and of its incoming resources and resources expended during the year.  In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any materials departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue to function. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant Companies Act and Charities Act.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## Independent Examiner 

These financial statements have been examined by Hugh Gunn. This report was approved by the Trustees on 10[th] April 2021.

## Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Hope for Tanzania 

I report on the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity’s gross income exceeded £25,000 but was below £500,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Certified Accountants in England and Wales. 

Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## Basis of independent examiner’s report 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or 

- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31[st] December 2020 

## 1 Accounting Policies 

The principal accounting policies are set out below.  These accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. 

## Basis of Accounting 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.  They follow the recommendations in the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued March 2005, revised in May 2008). 

## Incoming Resources 

Income is recognised by the Charity as follows: Voluntary income such as donations, gifts and legacies is included in full at the point of receipt; income from fundraising activities is stated gross before any expenses. 

## Resources Expended 

Resources expended are recognised in the year in which they are incurred. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs directly incurred by the Company in the delivery of its charitable activities. In includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activity and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.  Costs relating to a specific activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. 

## Taxation 

The activities of the Charity fall within the exemptions afforded by the provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.  Accordingly, there is no taxation charge in these financial statements. 

## Fund Accounting 

Funds held by the Charity are either: 

Unrestricted funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Directors, or 

Restricted funds – these are funds which can only be used for the particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for a particular purpose.
