Structure, governance and management
The MediOliver Foundation is a registered charity, number 1,159,021, and operates under a constitution.
The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Association and was first registered on 30 October 2014. The MediOliver Foundation (the Foundation) was formed in memory of Medi Oliver Mehra, who died aged 11 on 15 July 2014 following a tragic horse-riding accident.
The trustees are family members. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the period.
The constitution provides that there must be at least three charity trustees but there is no maximum number. The constitution provides for appointment of trustees following a resolution at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
Objectives and activities for the public beneft
The Foundation’s objectives as set out in its constitution are to advance the education and health of children and young people and also to relieve sickness and poverty in the same group. Although not so limited by its constitution, the Foundation exist to advance these causes in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Tanzania in particular.
Achievements
At the trustees meeting on 22 February 2015, the trustees approved a policy providing decisionmaking criteria to inform decisions about which individuals, groups or projects to support to further the Foundation’s objectives where one or more options have been identified which could further one of the objectives. In short, the criteria provide that the trustees will take decisions on which option to support given the resources raised and taking account the following: geographical reach; impact; local need; sustainability; direct control; equality and risk. By the 28 August 2019 the

trustees completed their first project which brought water, sanitation and hygiene to Gey Talt and Gey Shola’s, Ethiopia and was delivered in partnership with International Medical Corps (IMC).
Performance during the year
During the year we have been waiting for our volunteer illustrator to have time to complete the 8th book in the Children’s book series we have created which hopefully will provide a long term source of funding. This will enable us in 2025 to curate a book launch.
Financial review
The Foundation’s work is reliant on income raised via fund-raising activities as well as other any other donations received.
In the accounting period ending 31 March 2024 donations the charity was effectively dormant in terms of active fund raising with the children’s book project in the planning, test phase.

In the same accounting period no staff costs and overhead expenses have been claimed.

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners and based on recommended accountancy practices. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently, we do not express on audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
(i) which gives us unreasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-

-
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act;
