Memusi Foundation Trustees. annual report (including directors. report) (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 Achievements and perforniance &gnAficant attivities and achlevements agalnst objectives Over the perlod. the Memusl Foundatlon has dellvered in a number of areas to meÈt Its plans in the operatlng perlod of 2024 to 2025. As a charity. our strategic focus remaln5 anchored on a number of key principles. These are listed below: Healthcare - Healthcare mainS a key pillar of our work at Memusi Foundatlon because we know that a chlld's ability to learn starts with thelr health. Through our partnership wlth the Maa Healthcare Initiative, we have continued the rollout of medical camps Into the communities we support, provlding free healthcare and dental treatment to those who need it m05t. Thls year. the programme ched over 1,000 people across multiple medlcal camps. delivering eential free medical and dental care that helps children stay in school and thrive. When children a healthy, they attend classes regularly, concentrate better, and achieve more. To d?te, our partnership has facilitated MO than £1 million worth of freè he21thcare servi¢es. ensurlng that vulnerable famllles have access to Ilfe-changing treatment ènd support-creatlng stronger foundatlons for educatlon and brfjghter futu$. Resour¢es Creating envlronment where d)Ildren can learn effectlvely starts wlth the right resources. Thls year. we have Invested In desks and textbooks as well as much rn0 crltlcal and essential rèsources to ensure that every chlld has the tools they need to succeed and every teacher ha5 the tools needed. Desks At Memusi A, we fLFrther rolled out Single desks for older year group5, reducing shared space and overcrowdSng to create a more focused leaming environment. We also supplied fvrther desk5 for the new classrooms at Memusl B, whilst also replacing broken desks. Textbooks - Across all our schools, we have Invested hvIlY in new textbooks to meet the requlrements of Kenya's updated turrlculum and In support of the growlng Junior Secondary ()SS) Competency Based Curriculum. Thls ha5 been a signiflcant expense. but It ensures that children have access to the right learning materlals for every grade. Wlth the right books in their hand5. chlldren can engage fully wlth lessons. keep pa¢e wlth the currf¢ulum, and achleve better educatSonal outcomes. Technology - We have Sntroduced tablets Into the school as part of the technology sulte, helplng children to access further educational resources and 5UPPOrt self leaming. The tablets are also being Utilised t0 5UPPOrt remote readlng partnerships. 5UPPOrted by volunteers. Unlfoms The start of the school year saw the purchase of new school unlforms for all children at Memusi B schools. Female Hyglene - Access to menstrual health products Is essentlal for keeplng gld5 In school. Thls year, we expanded our Afripads distributlorb and tralnlng programme beyond Memusl A to include Memus5 B and four of our partner s¢J)ools. Through thls Initiative, we provlded usable sanltsry pads and dellvered trdlnlng sessions on menstrual health and hyglene, ensurfng that glrls have the confidence and resources they need to manage thelr periods safely and with dlgnlty. It also drdstically reduces absence of gir15, whllst making a posltive Impact on grades. For many glrts. the lack of menstrual products means missing school for several day5 each month, which can lead to fallin9 behind or even dropping out. By addressing thys barrier, we are helping girts stay In class, partlcipate fully in their education, and bulld brighter futu$.
Memusi Foundatlon Trustees. annual report (Including dlrectors. report) (contlnued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 Communlty Empowement - At Memusl Foundation, we believe that empOWed parents create empowered chlldren, and thls year we have ¢ontlnued to Invest In programmes that strengthen farnilies and communities. Adult Uteracy - We expanded our adult literncy dasses, glvlng parents the opportunity to learn to read and write. When parents are Ilterate, they better sUPPOrt theSr chlldren's educatlon-help5ng wth homework, understanding school communications, and fosterlng a culture of learning at home. Thls slmple but powerful step creates a rlpple effert that benefits the whole family. Micro-Loans Through our mlcro-loan programme, we have provlded small-scale financial support to parents, enabling them to start or grow buslnesses. These loans help famllles achieve financial stabllity, ducifi9 the pressure on children to mlss school for work and ensurfng that edtIOn remains a prfortty. Economlc empowerment means more consistent attendance, fewer dmpouts, and stronger futures for the next generatS0n. Infrastructure the change to a new model of eéucation in JSS has added extra resource constralnts on infrastructure. The competency based currlculum means addltlonal subjects and speclallsms that rnean that we have had to adapt qui¢kly, whllst also dellverlng agalnst our ongolng commltments In our growlng schools. Classrooms new classmoms have been bullt at Memusl A and Memusl B.

Water Tanks - thank5 to the 5UPPOrt from grants, we have been able to add a number of water tanks and guttering solutions to our faclllties to capture raln.

Thls year, we went a step further by introducing breakfasts, glving children the er)ergy they need to start the day ready to learn. To make this sustainable, we have expanded our own growing facilities, increaslng from 4 to 8 shade houses. These shade houses allr)w us to grow fresh produce locallyi reducing costs and Improving the quality of meals setved.

Food is given for those who are hungry, but Is also used as method of building trust and relatlonshlps where counselllng and healthcare Can be provided and also where help can be pmvlded to support young people to escape the streets. For young people who have grown up on the streets, the Joumey to stabilty and opportunity begins with heallng and hgpe. This year, we have focused on psychosocial 5UPPOrt for young omen, helping them process trauma and rebuild confldence throu9h counselling and life-skllls trainlng. These sessions provide a safe space for recovery and empowerment. laying the foundatlon for brighter futures.

The impact has been remarkable.. enrollment has In¢ased by more than 100 children. as families see the value of a school that not only educates but also nourishes, For many of these ¢hlEdren, a guaranteed meal means the dlfference between attending school and staylrhg on the streets.
