1.19|FOMOE’s focus continues to be raising
funds for MOET school – a primary school
for orphan children supporting the
communities in the Mangochi district in
Malawi.
FOMOE finds sponsors for MOET students
with the necessary grades to attend
secondary school and seeks funding for
exceptional pupils to go into tertiary
education.
At MOET, class sizes are small to enable
focused pastoral care and meetings are
often held with guardians regarding the
children’s progress. A meal is provided
every day at break time as the children are
from extremely poor backgrounds, this may
be their only meal. Lunch is provided once
a week, when clubs and activities are held
in the afternoon.
In their last year (Standard 8) children
board at MOET school to focus on their
studies. A boarding house was built to
accommodate them with the support of
FOMOE.
The school also strives to anticipate hunger
problems by building food reserves and will
provide extra meals to children during
famine crises.
During dire famine it also helps in local
communities with food aid.| |||Life skills – eg computer studies, cooking,
carpentry, tinsmith, tailoring, sewing and

This was a difficult year financially with the

MOET
school
continues
to
achieve
excellent selection rates to allow its pupils to
continue to secondary school. This year
MOET was able to find sponsors for five
former MOET pupils to go into Tertiary
education, and 45 to secondary school.
Part of MOET’s education programme
provides pupils with vocational skills, should
they not continue their studies at secondary
school. Tailoring, welding, computer, and
cooking workshops take place in the
afternoon once academic classes have
finished. FOMOE has provided the tailoring
and welding centres with additional capital
so they will be able to generate income
through the sales of door and window
frames and school uniforms.
Tuberculosis has the third highest death rate
behind Malaria and HIV /AIDS in Malawi.
Prevention, cure and support initiatives of
the three diseases are made with support
from The Global Fund. The National TB
Prevention Network (TB) visited MOET to
ensure their awareness of the disease and
to encourage vigilance in setting up
preventive measures through awareness
talks and referring suspected patients to
hospitals. TB also requested MOET to
mainstream preventive activities in its
various programs such as education and
interaction with community members when
implementing outreach projects. The overall
goal of the initiative is to protect children
from the disease.
As part of the MOET permaculture program,
pupils went on a field trip to Tropex Plant, a
company that grows flowers, agro-forestry
trees and shelter trees for sale to the nearby
community, to learn how to grow plants and
flowers, and how to take care of them.| **----- Start of picture text -----**

The trustees have periodically reviewed the goals, services and objectives of the charity in light of this requirement. This trustees' annual report clearly evidences how the charity strives to meet that need. Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education (“FOMOE”) continues to focus on raising funds for MOET, a primary school for orphan children supporting communities in the Mangochi district in Malawi. Additionally, FOMOE finds sponsors for MOET pupils with the necessary grades to attend secondary school and seeks funding for exceptional pupils to continue onward to tertiary education. At MOET, class sizes are small enough to enable focused pastoral care and meetings are often held with guardians regarding the children’s progress. A meal is provided every day at break time as the children are from extremely poor backgrounds; this may be their only meal. Lunch is provided once a week, whereupon clubs and activities are held in the afternoon. In their last year (‘Standard 8’) children board at MOET school to focus on their studies. A boarding house was built to accommodate them with the support of FOMOE. The school also strives to anticipate hunger problems by building food reserves and will provide extra meals to children during famine crises. During dire famine it also helps in local communities with food aid. The trustees thus confirm that they have complied, in full, with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance as published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## **Achievements and performance** In 2020 FOMOE raised £48,173 (2019: £62,977) with the help of many people of all ages undertaking a variety of fundraising activities. As always, we are very grateful to those generous enough to give via recurring payments, whether on an annual or monthly basis. This was a difficult year financially with the weakened foreign exchange rate resulting in reduced buying power. ## At MOET school MOET school continues to achieve excellent selection rates to allow its pupils to continue to secondary school. This year MOET was able to find sponsors for five former MOET pupils to go into Tertiary education, and 45 to secondary school. Part of MOET’s education programme provides pupils with vocational skills, should they not continue their studies at secondary school.

MOET undertook renovations on the roofs as well as repainting the walls of the girls’ dormitory, skirting the toilet walls, mending the classroom floors and repainting the blackboards. The culture of the Christmas and New Year season in Malawi sees those cerebrating being dressed formally and in new clothing as well as ensuring that they have good food and a high level of enjoyment. To preserve this cultural tradition, MOET provided second-hand clothes to the most vulnerable orphans. The Malawian Government closed schools as of 23rd March in an attempt to combat Covid-19 transmissions. The spread of Coronavirus has not only impacted the health of the Malawi’s population but has also adversely impacted the country’s education sector and MOET’s volunteering programme.

MOET helped communities to adopt Covid–19 preventive measures by distributing 30 handwashing buckets and soaps to 30 households within its catchment area in response to the shortage of sanitation facilities that MOET observed during its outreach programs. To further help the community, MOET pupils designed and sewed face masks that were sold at a cheaper price which also contributed to the fundraising initiatives of MOET. 5 ## **Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education** ## Trustees' Report (continued) Standard 8, Form 4 and University Students resumed their classes on 7[th] September 2020. Prior to the school opening day, MOET trained staff and put all the necessary facilities in place in order to contain the spread of Coronavirus. One of the trainings focused on how teachers can create safe environments to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and teaching pupils how they can protect themselves from the pandemic in terms of hygiene and practicing social distancing during their school time.

Some income has already been made from tomato and vegetables sales while maize and tree seedlings are still growing. ## **Financial Review** In 2020, total incoming resources were £48,173 (2019: £62,977), derived from donations. Total expenditure for 2020 was £50,801 (2019: £62,507). Therefore, the total balance on reserves decreased from £28,223 in 2019 to £25,595 in 2020. Reserves are held in pounds sterling due to the volatility of the Malawi currency. Reserves are held due to donations from sponsors being held and passed on to the school in line with the budget. Donations received specifically for children going through the school are paid over each quarter as part of the aid package sent to MOET. As at 31 December 2020, restricted reserves are £21,619 (31 December 2019: £17,241). The amount held in restricted reserves in relation to construction of the secondary school amounted to £16,524 as at 31 December 2020 (2019: £16,524). The amount held in restricted reserves in relation to sponsorship of secondary and tertiary education was £5,095 (2019: £717) as at 31 December 2020. As at 31 December 2020, unrestricted reserves are £3,976 (31 December 2019: £10,982). ## **Going concern** There is currently no uncertainty about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. FOMOE functions on minimal running costs and owns no property nor has it any ongoing commitments; neither of a financial nor contractual nature. In forming this assessment, the Trustees have taken into consideration the impact that Covid-19 could have on operations. ## **Covid-19** The crisis has affected UK charities since March 2020. Fundraising tends to go to charities that develop their activities in the UK, particularly around the NHS. Therefore, charities that operate overseas have seen their fundraising decreased. FOMOE has experienced a decrease in monthly donations. 6 ## **Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education** ## Trustees' Report (continued) ## **Structure, Governance and management** The Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education is a charity established and governed by a Trust Deed dated 23 May 2010. It registered with the Charity Commission on 14 September 2010. The charity is an unincorporated charity whose business is conducted and managed by its committee of trustees. New trustees are voted in by way of members’ vote. ## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Dieguez Rodriguez Trustee 7 ## **Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education** ## Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education for the year ended 31 December 2020. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees of the Trust 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. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; - 2 the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or - 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in 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.

The financial statements were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on 30[th] October 2021 and signed on their behalf by: ......................................... Ms Maria J Dieguez Rodriguez Trustee 10 ## **Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education** ## Notes to the Financial Statements ## Year Ended 31 December 2020 ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit under FRS 102, have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (issued October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis of preparation** Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. ## **Income and endowments** Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## _**Donations and legacies**_ Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. ## _**Charitable activities**_ Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 11 ## **Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education** ## Notes to the Financial Statements ## Year Ended 31 December 2020 ## _**Grant expenditure**_ Grants payable are payments to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity. ## _**Grant provisions**_ Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. ## **Governance costs** These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. ## **Financial instruments** ## _**Classification**_ The charity holds the following financial instruments: - Short-term other debtors and creditors; - Cash and bank balances. All financial instruments are classified as basic. ## _**Recognition and measurement**_ The charity has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102. Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the charity’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled. Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments. 12 ## **Friends of Mangochi Orphans Education** ## Notes to the Financial Statements ## Year Ended 31 December 2020 ## **2 Income from donations and legacies** ||||**General**||**Restricted**||||**Total**|**Total**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||**funds**||||**2020**|**2019**| ||||**£**||**£**||||**£**|**£**| ||Donations and legacies;|||||||||| |||||||||||| |||||||||||| ||Donations from
