Deki empowers communities to be resilient to poverty and the effects of climate change
Charity Number: 1137047
About Deki
Our Holistic Approach
Deki is an international development charity working in Togo, West Africa with a vision for a world of opportunity, not poverty. Through community development projects, education, and microfinance, we are building resilient communities by empowering families to make positive change for themselves.
We are a dedicated team based primarily in Togo, with a small team in Bristol. Historically we have supported over 200,000 people across 6 different countries.
At Deki, we believe that local communities are intrinsically capable and should be given the opportunity to improve their own futures. We empower local communities by giving them the tools they need to become resilient to poverty and the effects of climate change. We enable the communities themselves to be the agents of change by supporting them to work together to build better futures.
Our work is led by the needs of local people, to ensure we make the most effective impact possible.
Through building strong relationships with rural communities, our partners, and government agencies, we have developed a deeper understanding of the needs faced at a local level.
Deki’s dedicated impact team visits each village so we can better understand the needs and wishes of each community and how best to empower them to build a better future for themselves.
By working together, we provide families with the tools and resources they need to become resilient and self-sufficient, breaking the cycle of poverty for good. We believe in long-term, self-sustaining change and prioritise local solutions to community development.

"When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind."
A Letter from the Founders
This year’s African proverb aptly articulates how, with strong foundations, communities can build resilience and is the basis of our holistic approach.
As the founders of the sister organisations Deki and IADES, we have always had a strong belief that development should be community-led and that community members themselves can create the changes they want to see. When we began our partnership, we focused on microfinance, alongside business and financial training, which continues through our Agricultural Cooperatives and Women Empowerment Collectives.
After carrying out extensive needs assessments in 2019, we learned that the basic needs of families were not being addressed. For a community to build resilience to poverty and climate change, they need to have access to safe drinking water, improved cookstoves, and community healthcare.
It is by providing access to these basic needs that we can grow the deep roots required for microfinance to work at its best and for communities to become resilient.
In the last 12 months, we have continued to rehabilitate broken boreholes, bringing safe drinking water to a total of 123 communities. We built a cookstove workshop that employs 21 local people to make energy-efficient cookstoves from local clay and scrap metal, halving the amount of wood required each day and saving women an hour a day in collecting wood. In 2023 we distributed over 4,000 cookstoves. We launched our Health Care for All project, and this year we plan to build 12 community Health Hubs. We also continued to significantly grow our two microfinance projects.
2023 brought with it significant growth and development, of which none would be possible without our strong partnership and passionate and hardworking local team of nearly 50 people in Togo.
We are incredibly grateful for the continued generosity of our supporters, without whom none of this work would be possible.
Best wishes,
Vashti Seth and Christian Kadangah Founders and Directors of Deki and IADES.

Structure, Management & Governance
Deki was incorporated on 5 September 2008 as a company limited by guarantee, previously operating as a community interest company (CIC). In July 2010, recognizing that Deki's activities aligned better with charitable objectives, the directors decided to transition from a CIC to a company limited by guarantee. Subsequently, on 23 July 2010, the company successfully obtained registered charity status.
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 six as of 30th September 2022.
The Trustees meet every three months to oversee the charity's strategic direction and policies, contributing their time voluntarily without receiving benefits.
Day-to-day operations are delegated to a part-time staff team, including the Chief Executive Officer, Programmes and Partnership Manager, Business Development and Project Manager, Business Development Officer.
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 via the Deki website and through other relevant networks. Deki actively seeks against a job description and there is a formal process that requires applicants to submit a CV and a cover 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 trustee reporting framework and are regularly discussed during trustee meetings.
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.
We have dedicated safeguarding officers in both the UK and Togo, who review our safeguarding policies on an annual basis.

Whistleblowing
Deki promotes a culture of honesty and integrity. Our team mare encouraged to report suspected wrongdoing promptly, ensuring confidentiality and protection against reprisals. Clear guidance is provided on raising concerns in good faith.
In Togo, all beneficiaries receive a confidential phone number for reporting safeguarding concerns. Furthermore, our Togo offices are equipped with securely locked complaint boxes, exclusively accessible by our designated safeguarding officer. To foster a culture of trust, our safeguarding officer consistently visits beneficiary groups, actively encouraging the open expression of concerns in good faith. Importantly, individuals are reassured that their concerns will be treated seriously, appropriate action will be taken, and there will be no reprisals, even if concerns ultimately prove to be unfounded.
Financial Review
Deki recorded a surplus of £80,667 on unrestricted funds in the past year. Free reserves at yearend were £59,968. The Board of Trustees aims to maintain unrestricted reserves at three months' expenditure this is based upon spending of £93,255 on such costs in 2022-23, we aim to have unrestricted cash reserves of at least £30,000.
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 spending of £93,255 on such costs in 2022-23, we aim to have unrestricted cash reserves of at least £30,000.
Restricted funds
Deki has £56,090 restricted for lending (2022 £64,565). These funds are managed by Deki and relent once repaid by the Deki entrepreneurs. These funds will not be withdrawn or spent. The funds may reduce due to fluctuations in exchange rates when loans are repaid. This may also be reduced on non-repayment of loans by beneficiaries.
We also received restricted funds for our Clean Water Project: implementing and maintaining a Gold Standard Safe Water Supply Project in Togo.
Restricted public donations were also raised through the Big Give Appeal for our agricultural cooperative project.
Restricted internships funding was received to pay the salaries of interns.

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)
-
Pensions and other benefits
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 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. None of our staff earned more than £60,000 in the year.
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.
Sub-Committees and Advisory Groups
Deki has three committees and advisory groups: Audit, Finance, Risk Committee, International Programmes Advisory Group, Business Development Advisory Group. Terms of reference for each are agreed by the Board. Each group reports 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 12 weeks.
Management Structure
Trustees employ a salaried Chief Executive to manage the organisation and implement the strategic objectives. The Chief Executive directly manages the Programmes and Partnership Manager and Business Development Manager, who manages the Business Development Officer.

Statement Of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Deki Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report (incorporating the directors’ report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Deki
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30th September 2023 which are set out on pages 15 to 22.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
Emphasis of matter
As explained in notes 15 and 16, the trustees have made note of their concerns respectively about going concern and the future of the activities of the charity, and the nature of the partner organisation that provides micro credit in Togo.
I have no other 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.

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. The unrestricted funds of the charity at 30 September 2023 were in surplus by £59,968 (2022: £10,106) which is in alignment with our reserves policy. Expenditure is budgeted carefully in line with available funding. Therefore the trustees consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. For further details 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. On this basis, the trustees have considered it prudent to provide for defaults of 5% of the loan capital held in the field.
