## **Zambia and Malawi Community Partnership Chairpersons Report 2022** **UK Reg Number** : 1136225 **Registered Address** : 2 Ivy Close, Akeley, MK18 5GZ **Chair** : Katharine Rhiannon James. **Treasurer** : Michael Layland James. **Other Trustees** : John Greener, Alison Greener and Keith Hare. The Zambia and Malawi Community Partnership [ZMCP] is managed by the trustees, who meet for a minimum of two ordinary meetings, plus an annual general meeting each year. New recruits are identified by getting interested people involved with the work of the charity and then discussing trusteeship with them. ## **Activities, Achievements and Performance** This year saw a big step up in the work of ZMCP in Malawi and we continued our support of the Ngoli Scholarship in Zambia. - Ngoli Scholarship – The aim of the scholarship is to support intelligent but disadvantaged and vulnerable students, who would not otherwise be able to afford it, to get a good secondary and tertiary education. We also support them to find paid employment as we believe this is the main benefit we hope to achieve from our work. It benefits them, their families, their communities and the Zambian economy. We are currently supporting: - A degree qualified teacher – working as a volunteer. We are hopeful that the Zambian Government are likely to employ another big cohort of teachers in the coming months. - Two qualified nurses – one has been successful in getting a job in NHS Scotland and has starting to pay 5% of his salary back into the scholarship. The other is working in Northern Province Zambia. - Three qualified midwives (two male) working as volunteers and three more nurses/midwives in training. - Three students at medical school. - Two students doing business courses, one of whom is being mentored by one of the trustees and is now doing paid remote book-keeping for his business. - Two students doing further professional development while working. - Eight students at high school. - Ngoli School - We continue to support the school with a budget for the science lab. Science exam results are higher than before the science lab was built. - Tafika – Youth organisation in Malawi - We continue to support Tafika in delivery of a self-grown feeding programme at 10 schools in northern Malawi as a pilot project with Mary’s Meals (UK NGO). Tafika mobilise the community to prepare land designated by the chief, sew biofortified maize and soya (with extra vitamins and iron), then tend the crops, harvest them, mill the maize, build cook shelters, prepare daily porridge and feed it to the school children. Early measurement indicates that attendance in the schools rose from 65% to 85% following the start of feeding. This is a significant step in the need to support improvements in education and benefits the children themselves as well as having a wider societal benefit. - Tafika are keen to have their own income and to determine how it is spent to benefit their communities rather than continued reliance on aid. We are working with them to find investors and to build a hostel for students from the local nursing college. This has been a challenging project to undertake but we are really pleased that the hostel is almost complete and will be filled with paying tenants soon. We have also supported the planting of a 12-acre commercial forest. In 10 to 15 years’ time this will provide a steady income as an acre per year is cropped on a rolling basis and the stumps left to resprout. In the meantime, the tree nursery is likely to produce more seedlings than required in 2023 and seedlings can be sold at a profit. - Tomato Greenhouses – We have supported Tafika to link with Scottish/Malawian Not For Profit business - Malawi Fruits. Funding has been pulled together for a borehole and three greenhouses. The work is due to start in August 2023. The business case demonstrates the income the women hope to achieve in this ‘guaranteed price, farm-gate deal’. It also benefits Tafika as the women will put time into tending the forest as well as the tomatoes. - Cookstoves – Tafika volunteers were shown how to teach communities to build simple mud-brick 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 more than 10 boreholes being drilled in Tafika communities. This has increased the availability of clean safe water and its proximity to the schools. - IT Equipment - 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 are working on other organisations. - Tiko - We continue to support Tiko community in Zambia by providing an online route for donors to make donations and claim UK tax relief. ## **Objectives for 2023:** - To continue to support the students in our Ngoli Scholarship, with as many as possible of them finding paid employment at the end of their studies and contributing back into the scholarship to sustain the support future students. - To grow the capacity of Tafika volunteers in project management and financial skills so that they can manage and expand the self-feeding programme in conjunction with Mary’s Meal without ZMCP support. - To bring the two income generating projects with Tafika to fruition where income is beginning to be generated (it will take until at least 2024 for these projects to generate profit). - To support the Tomato Greenhouse project through to production of income generating tomatoes and management of the project without ZMCP input. - To raise sufficient funds directly, through grant funding or finding investors to cover the current liabilities of seeing the existing Ngoli Scholarship students through to the end of their tertiary education and the income generating projects with Tafika through to income generation. ## **Financial Report for ZMCP** The charity took on many more projects in Malawi during this financial year leading to an increase in expenditure. Overall, the financial position remains stable and the charity has enough cash to cover its liabilities in 2023. The charity formally operates with negligible overheads and only needs to carry around one hundred pounds to cover its bank charges in order to remain operational. However, ZMCP has an ongoing commitment to the students on the scholarship scheme and with costs for that scheme running at around £20,000 per annum this could be said to be a regular liability. The charity could choose to wind up at the end of any financial year and leave the students to fund themselves, but this is obviously an undesirable outcome. As a result, the charity endeavours to carry reserves of around £20,000 to cover a one-year period for the scholarship.
