Zambia and Malawi Community Partnership Chairpersons Report 2021

This was a great year with a significant growth in activity and completion or progression of successful projects.

Ngoli Scholarship – We are currently supporting:
One degree qualified teacher – working as a volunteer, just about to hear if he is on the Government list of 10,000 teachers being appointed.
Two qualified nurses – one has been successful in getting a job in NHS Scotland and will be starting to pay 5% of his salary back into the scholarship.
One male midwife who qualified in Dec 2021, waiting registration.
One male midwife who needed to resit one subject and four more nurses/midwives in training.
Three students at medical school.
Two students doing further professional development while working.
Three students who have finished G12 waiting for college in 2023 (one doing resits).
Eight students at high school.
Ngoli School
We continue to support the school with a budget for the science lab. Exam results are significantly higher than before the science lab was built.
Tafika – Youth organisation in Malawi
We successfully supported Tafika in the proposal process with Mary’s Meals to fund a pilot of the ‘Tafika Feeding Model’ in five communities. Tafika mobilise the community to prepare land designated by the chief, sew the maize and soya and plant sweet potato and cassava, then tend the crops, harvest them, mill the maize, build a cook shelter, prepare daily porridge and feed it to the school children. We are waiting for the first harvest. Mary’s Meals are likely to support further roll-out of the project to more communities.
An Income Generating Activities (IGAs) workshop was held in October 2021. Tafika are keen to have their own income and to determine how it is spent themselves rather than continued reliance on aid. The workshop resulted in several feasible short, medium and long term ideas. The ones taken forward were for a commercial forest and for a student hostel. Business cases to attract investors are being worked-up.
Cookstoves – Tafika volunteers were shown how to teach communities to build simple mudbrick cook stoves that use 1/3 of the wood and generate less smoke. They are now demonstrating how to build these in a number of communities.
Boreholes – A successful relationship with US NGO Formidable Joy has resulted in 5 boreholes being drilled in the five Tafika communities for the pilot Mary’s Meals project. This has increased the availability of clean safe water and its proximity to the schools.
Classrooms for Malawi – Tafika were supported in their project management of the building of a classroom block by CfM in one of the Tafika and Mary’s Meals communities. A proposal was prepared to support students at the carpentry college to mend desks at this school, make some new ones and work to ‘buy’ a set of their own tools thus setting them up with experience and the ability to earn an income.
Balerno Village Screen – This small organisation in Scotland have supported Tafika with funds to undertake an AIDS awareness campaign for young people in Tafika communities.
Steve Liwewe cup – Funding has been provided for a football and netball league. The final will happen in 2022 and will be commented on by the famous Steve Liwewe. This league is very

motivational for the young people in Tafika communities and supportive of Tafika’s behavioural change objectives.

Harvest Plus – This organisation specialises in encouraging bio-fortified maize and beans. They have funded 50 demonstration gardens in Tafika communities.
Nurses to Scotland
When our first scholarship nurses qualified in December 2020 this identified a problem as there are 17,000 qualified but unemployed nurses in Zambia.
We set up an agency (Kafwa) and a relationship with NHS Scotland who are extremely short of nurses and are undertaking international recruitment.

This pathway is ethical as:

 - The nurses are not currently employed in the Zambian health system.

 - It gives them a chance to put their hard-won skills into practice and gain further skills and experience.

 - It gives them a chance to earn money and send money home to transform their family’s lives and in particular the chances of tertiary education for their siblings.

 - It proves the value of education to communities.

 - Some of the fee paid by NHS Scotland goes to the nursing colleges and a scholarship fund in Zambia.

The first three nurses have been contracted for by NHS Highland and are going through the steps to get them to Scotland.
IT Equipment and IT Kasama project
We have successful persuaded NHS Lanarkshire to channel their surplus IT equipment to Turing Trust who send equipment out to Malawi for lease to schools rather than send the equipment to a crusher.
We worked with Solon Foundation and Bakashana in Zambia to deliver two successful
- workshops for secondary school teachers to learn how to maintain and repair computer equipment. This resulted in 42% of ‘broken’ equipment being brought back into service. Sixty second-hand desktops were funded and distributed to the 20 schools in the Kasama area who had taken part in the workshops.
Consultancy
Consultancy was provided to Virtual Doctors, an organisation who make UK based doctors and surgeons available to African based clinicians for advice.
Consultancy was provided to Vision Aid Oversees (via Challenges Group) who are looking to develop a social enterprise model for eye tests and glasses in Ghana before roll-out to other countries.
Consultancy was provided to Continulus who are developing an online platform for continuous professional development for clinicians.
Tiko
We continue to support Tiko community in Zambia by providing an online route for donors to make donations and claim UK tax relief.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/12/2021. 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 Trust’s accounts carried 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. The charity’s gross income was between £25,0000 and £250,000 and I am suitably capable of undertaking the examination of these accounts. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
