UK charity registration number 1160089 Trustees Report 2020

Introduction

The Mud House Children’s Foundation is a UK registered charity established to support and develop opportunities for children, especially from the Maasai communities of the Loliondo area of Ngorongoro District, to access education and improve their life choices. In recognition of the need and desire to create sustainable solutions our charity works closely with relevant Tanzanian government officers, the Chiefs of Maasai villages, Headteachers of schools and wider members of the relevant communities.

Structure, governance and management

Our charity formally commenced operations in January 2015 under the title of Ngorongoro Education Project Trust. In July 2020, with the approval of the UK Charity Commission and all our Trustees, the charity changed it’s title to the Mud House Children’s Foundation. It is now formally registered under this new name.

The Trustees appointed have been drawn from acquaintances of the charity originators providing a useful blend of senior level experience from the public, private and voluntary sectors. All Trustees have been nominated and appointed at formal charity Board meetings. This year the Board membership has remained stable with just one new addition. We were delighted to appoint Mrs Gaynor Mckeown, a long term supporter of our charity who possesses a wealth of useful voluntary and charity sector experience.

Present structure of Trustee Board

Chair: Mr Robin Jarman LLB, MSt (Cantab)

Trustees: Mrs Helen Culverwell, Mrs Aly Ryan, Mr James Culverwell, and Mrs Titian Fleming.

Mr Matthew Culverwell , Mrs Jan Earney and Mrs Gaynor McKeown.

Patrons; Sir Alan and Lady Grose. Mrs Sylvia Goodall

To date, our charity has continued to primarily operate with the assistance of volunteers. We continue to support a range of relevant projects overseen by the Trustees, whilst delivered and managed by Mrs Nichola Jarman our Projects Director and Project Development manager, Hannah Povey.

Understandably, the Covid-19 pandemic has frustrated our travel plans this past year. In March 2020, a group of volunteers and a Trustee had to return prematurely from Tanzania in order to avoid being stranded. However, their somewhat curtailed visit still enabled meetings to be held with key stakeholders in the relevant communities and provided opportunities to review our projects and to verify the well-being of our sponsored children.

Our Partners

Without the support of key trusted, capable and committed people in Tanzania our efforts would all be in vain. We should recognise the contributions of The Loliondo District Commissioner, Government Education Officers, Headteachers and staff of schools, Chiefs of the Maasai bomas and numerous other community members, especially the charity manager, Salome Nassei, the Issuja family and countless others who have welcomed us into their lives and assisted us to help Tanzanian children.

Objectives & Activities

In accordance with our Constitution our stated objectives and activities are as follows;

Activities: This will be achieved by;

As a small charity based in the UK which is focused on delivering frontline meaningful projects in Tanzania it is not surprising that, over the years, we have encountered many challenges and learnt an enormous amount from our experiences. Notwithstanding the complexities of our operating environment, with the generosity of donors and incredible support of many volunteers and partners we are, with justifiable pride, able to point to proven successful delivery of several ongoing projects.

Achievements & Performance

Despite the challenges presented this year by the pandemic, we are still able to report and highlight the completion and ongoing development of a number of successful projects.

a) Sponsored Children Education Programme

Many Maasai children live in semi-permanent remote villages (called bomas) across the Ngorongoro region. Each day, the children often face lengthy journeys, on foot, to just reach a school. Many such journeys are of 1-2 hours duration. At the request of Maasai Chiefs and their communities our sponsored children programme was introduced to enable those children living in poverty to access boarding accommodation at the school(s). With the generous donations of UK residents, we are currently sponsoring 65

children in 10 educational establishments. These are primarily located in the Wasso, Loliondo area of Ngorongoro but college students are located in various cities in Tanzania.

To ensure fairness the sponsored children are selected by strict criteria and negotiation with individual Maasai bomas. Salome Nassei (a senior local Maasai) co-ordinates this process as well as the ongoing needs and welfare of each child in liaison with the parents or guardian. In the future we hope to attract further sponsorship opportunities to fund even more children.

b) Accommodation

The Maasai parents and guardians of the sponsored children provide a hostel for the majority of our young children. Our charity supports this venture via utilities and building maintenance costs. Last year we reported that the local government had inspected the premises for suitability and were encouraging the construction of additional accommodation to enable expansion. In our view this would be both expensive and from past experience, potentially, counter productive. Alternative options are still being scoped and there is a potential longer term solution involving a new boarding school which is under serious consideration. This could alleviate many concerns. Meanwhile, to meet safety regulations, our charity has purchased fire extinguishers and smoke alarms which have been installed in the hostel. This year, we have also arranged for the parents, guardians and volunteers to receive safeguarding/child protection training.

c) School Playground

This year a further playground was funded and installed at Sakala Primary School.

d) Health and Wellbeing Project

We have closely monitored the Covid-19 situation and despite our initial concerns, it would appear that the virus has yet to seriously impact this remote area of Tanzania. However, to assist the Maasai communities our charity has facilitated the circulation of Covid-19 safety information and provided vital hygiene products such as sanitizer, soap and suitable water containers to many bomas (a small village).

Over the years we have grown concerned about the living environment of the Maasai children. The mud houses have open wood fires and little ventilation. This causes health problems from smoke inhalation and children occasionally suffering horrendous burn injuries. In consequence, our charity has trialled a brick oven with chimney in a Maasai mud house. The results were promising and following extensive research we have identified more efficient and effective options. Recently, a few of our UK grant bids have been successful and we hope, in the coming year, to commence the installation of 100 chimneys and cookers.

e) Food Programme

Last year we reported that owing to a dramatic shortage of crops and subsequent inability to feed the sponsored children that an emergency food programme was rapidly introduced. In addition, an alternative irrigation and farming project was subsequently scoped with a view to providing a more sustainable solution. This led to maize, beans, potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables being farmed and the first crop harvested providing vital food for the children. We are pleased to report that this year it has not been necessary to implement a food shortage response.

Fundraising

This year the Covid-19 pandemic frustrated several fundraising events, especially our annual weekend music festival. Despite these disappointments, the charity has been successful in raising funds via several UK Grant bids.

The Mud House Club

The Mud House Club was launched last year and has a healthy growing membership. It now plays a vital role, enabling us to communicate our important work to a wider audience which is also attracting new volunteers.

Financial review

Our existing projects have sufficient specific fundraising support. However, it is hoped that the development of our new project “Looking Beyond” which hopes to support children through further education and university will attract fresh sponsors and enable us to continue to improve the life chances of Maasai children.
