Joint letter from Deki’s CEO and IADES’ MD

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” African Proverb

We would like to start by thanking our donors for joining us and supporting our mission to empower communities in Togo to work their way out of poverty.

Like many charities the big ambitions we had for 2020 were not achieved in the way that we’d planned. But the pandemic taught us new ways of working, both in the UK and in Togo.

When Togo went into lockdown in March many of the families that we support lost their income overnight. To stop the risk of spreading the virus we immediately paused our fortnightly

visits to rural communities. Instead, we changed our focus to providing emergency loans via mobile money, alongside emergency food and PPE parcels. When we were able, we started to slowly resume our normal activities.

We’re proud that the work that we do has impacted close to 3,000 people this financial year, not always in the way that was planned, but in the way that was best in such unprecedented circumstances.

The pause in our regular programmes gave us time to reflect on our work and the impact that we’d like to create together. Our passion for helping families to develop sustainable livelihoods and become financially resilient is at the heart of everything we do. With this in mind our plan to achieve this from 2021 onwards focuses on four strategic programmes.

We have included information about each of these programmes in this report, if you’d like to find out more, please do email Vashti to arrange a conversation.

Here’s to creating the change we want to see in the world!

Best wishes, Cordialement,
Vashti Seth Christian Kadangah

MESSAGE FROM DEKI’S CHAIR OF TRUSTEES – CONSULOTA PRICE OBE

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Deki, both within the communities where we work in West Africa and the way we work in the UK.

COVID-19 in Togo

Cases of COVID-19 were first reported in Togo in March 2020. The government took measures to contain the spread of the virus by restricting movement and promoting self-isolation through school, road and market closures.

In comparison to other countries, Togo’s COVID-19 reported cases have been low, however, the effect of the crisis on Deki entrepreneurs has been profound. They depend on their income to pay for their most basic of needs, some Deki Entrepreneurs lost their primary sources of income overnight. In response to the crisis, Deki and IADES have worked closely over the last 10 months to provide relief and support. An emergency pandemic committee was set up in Togo to coordinate official advice and to help identify where support was needed the most.

When safe to do so, IADES staff visited hard to reach communities, bringing up-to-date information, dispelling rumours and helping communities to protect themselves and look after each other. Widows and families living in rural areas were identified as amongst the most vulnerable and these Deki Entrepreneurs were the first to receive donations of masks, hand gel and emergency food supplies.

Throughout the crisis, we have continued to support our community groups - during July and August, we provided nearly 200 emergency loans and delayed repayments to relieve financial pressure. Whilst activities have just about returned to normal and we are looking forward to a busy 2021, our priority remains to protect the health of our team and our beneficiaries. The team in Togo will continue to follow official advice; wearing protective equipment and adhering to social distancing.

Best wishes,

Consulota Price OBE

SUCCESS STORY

Madame Wassime - Continuing Deki’s legacy and empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs

Madame Wassime, known locally as Afi, has been a Deki Entrepreneur since 2016. Without any formal schooling, Afi was unable to access financial services to invest in her business. She dreamed of buying a plot of land and building a home one day, but without capital, she never thought it could be possible.

Then she heard about the opportunities available to her through a Deki loan and joined the Ave Marie women’s empowerment collective. Once Afi received her loan, she was excited to attend the training workshops which would support her to build her business and make it a success.

Four years later, and Madame Wassime, has a successful, busy shop selling a variety of food produce, and she is keen to pass on the lessons she has learnt. Afi remains a member of Ave Marie and acts as a mentor to the new entrepreneurs joining, offering them her support, encouragement and advice. She is helping them to grow in confidence, to use their voices and to be successful entrepreneurs.

During the pandemic, with the increased need for clean water, Afi used her last Deki loan to help her community, and had a water fountain installed outside her shop. Until now, there had been no source of drinking water in her neighbourhood. Previously, many of the residents had struggled to bear the cost of buying fresh, clean water and would travel for miles, mostly on foot, to risk collecting unsafe water.

Now there is fresh, potable water readily available for the other women in her village and they no longer need to spend hours walking to gather dirty water risking disease or possible assault.

Madame Wassime sells the water at cost price and asks only that it covers the maintenance of the fountain. Afi has had her last loan for now, but she continues to be an inspiration, both to us and to the people around her.

STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT & GOVERNANCE

Deki was incorporated on 5 September 2008. It is a company limited by guarantee and was previously a community interest company (CIC).

In July 2010, the directors decided that the activities of Deki were better suited to a charitable entity and consequently changed legal form, from a CIC to a company limited by guarantee. The company then proceeded to obtain registered charity status on 23 July 2010.

The company is governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 5 September 2008, as amended on 1 February 2010.

The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees, currently numbering five as of 30st September 2020.

The Trustees meet every three months and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Day to day operations are delegated to a small team of staff, all working part time, currently comprising the Chief Executive Officer, International Programmes Manager, Operations Manager, Marketing Executive.

The Trustees endeavour to maintain a broad mix of skills across the Board of Trustees. If a skills gap is identified new Trustees are recruited for via the Deki website and through other relevant networks. Deki actively seek against a job description and there is a formal process that requires applicants to submit a CV and covering letter, and those short-listed are invited to interview. Potential new Trustees are invited to attend a Board of Trustees’ meeting as an observer before their Trusteeship is confirmed. They are given a copy of the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and a copy of the charity’s most recent accounts. New Trustees are also given a copy of the Charity Commission publication “CC3 – The Essential Trustee.”

Risk Management

Deki’s Trustees acknowledge that they have overall responsibility for the efficient operation of the charity and that they have a duty to review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to implement effective risk management procedures. Risk management is built into the charity’s business planning process.

The Trustees have complied with their legal duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Safeguarding

We are committed to protecting all children and adults against all forms of abuse and we expect everyone who works in our organisation to share this commitment. We request two references from every staff and volunteer member working for Deki and reserve the right to request a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check if appropriate. We have a Risk and Safeguarding Trustee, Valentine Granet.

Whistle blowing

We are committed to conducting our business with honesty and integrity, and we expect all staff to maintain high standards. However, all organisations face the risk of things going wrong from time to time, or of unknowingly harbouring illegal or unethical conduct. A culture of openness and accountability is essential in order to prevent such situations occurring or to address them when they do occur.

7

Deki aims to:

● encourage staff to report suspected wrongdoing as soon as possible, in the knowledge that their concerns will be taken seriously and investigated as appropriate, and that their confidentiality will be respected.

● provide staff with guidance as to how to raise those concerns.

● reassure staff that they should be able to raise genuine concerns in good faith without fear of reprisals, even if they turn out to be mistaken.

Financial Review

2019-20 has been a challenging year for Deki's finances, as the global pandemic has reduced donations from individuals and the availability of funding from trusts and corporations. As a result, the deficit in free cash reserves increased to £13,845, from £3,782 at the previous year end. At the year-end unrestricted reserves were in deficit by £10,259 (2018-19 £676).

The charity has restructured in order to reduce staffing and office costs during the year, so that the running costs are now within the available income at this time.

In addition to reducing costs Deki has taken out a Government Bounce Back loan from Santander Bank loan of £30,000 which is repayable over 6 years: this ensures that we can meet our liabilities whilst we work off the deficit on unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

The Board of Trustees has determined that the target level of unrestricted reserves of the charity should be equivalent to not less than three months' expenditure. This would provide sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs in the event of an unexpected reduction in donations. Based upon current budget of £120,000 total unrestricted expenditure in 2020/21, we aim to have reserves of £30,000. Through the implementation of the charity’s new operating model and with careful budgeting in future periods, the Trustees anticipate that free cash reserves will grow to meet the target over the next few years.

Restricted funds

Deki has £69,165 restricted for lending (2019 £81,712). These funds are managed by Deki and relent once repaid by the Deki entrepreneurs. These funds will not be withdrawn or spent out. The funds may reduce due to fluctuations in exchange rates when loans are repaid, or where Deki entrepreneurs, or Field Partners default on repayments.

Remuneration policy

Deki is committed to ensuring that we pay our staff fairly and in a way that ensures we attract and retain the right skills to have the greatest impact in delivering our charitable objectives. In accordance with the Charities the Statement of Recommended Practice 2015 (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Act 2011, Deki discloses the following:

● All payments made to Trustees (no Trustees receive ‘pay’ although they are entitled to claim for appropriate expenses)

● The number of staff in receipt of more than £60,000 (in bands of £10,000)

The Deki’s remuneration policy objective is to ensure that the CEO and staff team are provided with appropriate incentives to encourage enhanced performance and are, in a fair and responsible manner, rewarded for their individual contributions to the success of the Charity. The appropriateness and relevance

8

of the remuneration policy is reviewed annually including reference to comparisons with other charities ensuring Deki remains sensitive to the broader issues e.g. pay and employment conditions elsewhere.

We aim to recruit, subject to experience, at the lower – medium point within a band, providing scope to be rewarded for excellence. We do not employ interns without pay and we pay the living wage for all our staff.

Delivery of Deki’s charitable vision and purpose is primarily dependent on our staff, which is the largest single element of charitable expenditure. None of our staff earned more than £60,000 in the year. The Chief Executive of Deki, Vashti Seth, is the highest paid member of staff. Her salary during the year was £28,163.

Deki Volunteers and Interns

Deki is incredibly grateful to our very passionate and dedicated volunteers, whose hard work we rely on to keep our overheads low and efficiency high. Since the charity's inception in 2010, Deki has forged strong links with The University of Bristol and The University of the West of England to develop a professional and much sought after Internship programme. Interns work on project based tasks with the communications, digital marketing, fundraising and international operations teams, which help them become 'work ready'.

Sub-Committees and Advisory Groups

Terms of reference for each are agreed by the Board. These committees and advisory groups report to the Board their discussions of relevant matters and advise on decisions, which are then taken by the Board. All committees are advised and serviced by Deki staff and meet on average every six weeks.

Management Structure

Trustees employ a salaried Chief Executive to manage the organisation and implement the strategic objectives. The Chief Executive directly manages the International Programmes Manager, Operations Manager and Marketing Executive.

14. Ultimate controlling party

The Trustees as a body are the controlling party of the entity.

15. Going Concern

The Trustees have prepared these accounts on a going concern basis. While the unrestricted funds of the charity at 30 September 2020 were in deficit by £10,259 (2019: surplus of £676), this was a result of the challenging funding environment resulting from the global pandemic, and also because the impact of reductions in staffing and overheads only took effect during the financial year in question. As the leaner organisation is now able to live within its reduced means, the trustees have considered it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. For further details, including assessment of the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 situation, please refer to the Trustees Report.

16. Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimation uncertainty exists in respect of the recoverable amount of the charity’s microfinance loan portfolio. In determining whether impairment is required, the trustees consider factors such as the contractual terms of the underlying loan agreements, historic rates of loan default in the territory and applicable local macroeconomic factors that could impact the ability to recover amounts advanced. The carrying value of the loan portfolio at the year-end was £2,271,495 (2018: £1,846,987).
