## **THE MUDHOUSE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_ 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011 and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The Mud House Children’s Foundation (TMHCF) 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, Tanzania, to access education and improve their life choices. 

In recognition of the need to create sustainable, community-led solutions, the charity works collaboratively with Tanzanian government officers, village chiefs, headteachers, and wider community representatives to ensure local ownership of all programmes. 

Public Benefit Statement: In compliance with the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees confirm that all the activities described in this report directly further the charitable objects of the Mud House Children’s Foundation by improving access to education, health, and welfare for Maasai children and their families. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

In accordance with our constitution, our main charitable object is: 

To advance education and relieve poverty among Maasai children living in the Ngorongoro District of Tanzania. This is pursued through the following key activities: 

- Sponsoring children to attend school, secondary, and higher education. 

- Providing teacher training and monitoring educational impact. 

- Supporting the construction and maintenance of hostels, classrooms, and sanitation facilities. 

- Improving children’s health and nutrition through the food and water programmes. 

- Delivering safeguarding and community development training. 

- Fostering international understanding through volunteer and cultural exchange initiatives. 

The Trustees monitor progress through regular field reports, photographic evidence, volunteer debriefs, and biannual site visits. Each project is assessed for cost effectiveness, sustainability, and educational outcomes. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

- a) Sponsored Children Education Programme: 

   - 85 children and young adults are currently sponsored across multiple education establishments in and around Northern Tanzania. 

   - Transparent selection criteria ensure fairness, supported by Maasai village chiefs and parents. 

   - 2025 outcome: 98% of sponsored pupils remained in school or advanced education, reflecting strong attendance and retention rates. 

b) Accommodation and Child Welfare The Maasai hostel continues to meet safety standards with annual fire safety inspections, new fire extinguishers/ smoke detectors, and a repeat of safeguarding training planned for 2026.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_ 

c) Cookers and chimney project 

In recognition of the health issues and risks associated with open fires in mud houses. In recent years our charity has designed and installed over 100 brick stoves/chimneys into Maasai mud houses. This year following a review, a new more effective portable metal cooker and chimney has been designed. Our efforts have undoubtedly reduced respiratory illness and burn injuries in mud houses. We hope to raise funds to enable further installations. 

## d) Borehole and water well project 

The second Borehole and water well project commenced in 2023. In March 2024, the solar-powered borehole and water well was installed at Mama Sylvia’s School became fully operational, benefitting over 400 children and the five surrounding villages. Unfortunately, the solar pump broke down in March 2025. This was resolved using generous donations from the Goodall Foundation and The Kitchen Table Charities Trust and a Mud House fund raising barbeque in July 2025. A maintenance fund is now supported by small community water fees, ensuring future sustainability. 

## e) Food and Nutrition 

Mr Mathew Nassei has a small holding where he grows vegetables, raises chickens and cows on behalf of the charity, continuing to provide a healthy diet for all hostel children. 

Surplus produce is sold to fund gardeners’ salaries, encouraging self-reliance and sustainability. 

## f) Educational resources and cultural exchange 

• Donation of 300 books from The Pelican Post. The books are in English and the topics and illustrations reflect African culture. 

• Three new playgrounds were installed in three schools in the Loliondo and Wasso area with a donation from EducationServices2010. 

## g) Volunteers programme 

The Workaway Travellers initiative welcomed volunteers from 10 countries, providing language support, farm assistance, and cultural sharing. Volunteers now contribute a modest daily fee for food and accommodation, helping cover local costs in line with Workaway guidelines. Volunteers from the UK go out to Wasso approximately twice a year to support the various projects. 

NB All Safeguarding rules are adhered to.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_ 

## **Our partners** 

Our work succeeds only through the dedication of trusted partners in Tanzania. The Trustees gratefully acknowledge the support of the Loliondo District Commissioner, Government Education Officers, Headteachers and school staff, the Chiefs of Maasai villages, and particularly Mr Mathew Nassei and Mrs Salome Nassei (Maasai Operations Managers), the Issuja family, and many other community members. Their collaboration ensures accountability, transparency, and cultural respect in all activities. 

## **The Mud House Club** 

The Mud House Club was launched in 2019 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. 

## **School twinning** 

In April 2021, the charity began twinning with St Mark’s Church of England Primary school in Basingstoke. Through various fundraising activities, fetes, Christmas fayres and donation boxes, the school has raised substantial funds towards the various charity projects. This twinning will continue for the foreseeable future. Regular visits and presentations are made to the pupils at St Mark’s to explain the life of a Maasai child and also to tell them where the money they raise is being spent. 

## **Financial review** 

Our existing projects have sufficient specific fundraising support. 

## **Safeguarding and Compliance** 

The charity operates under a formal Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, reviewed annually. Local staff receive ongoing child protection training. TMHCF applies the same safeguarding standards overseas as in the UK. 

## **Acknowledgements** 

Every year running a charity in Africa is challenging and 2025 was no exception. The Trustees extend their sincere gratitude to the UK and Tanzanian volunteers, donors, and partner institutions for their ongoing commitment. Particular thanks go to Salome and Mathew Nassei for their tireless work managing operations in Loliondo and Wasso, and to our patron Sylvia Goodall MBE, who attended the 2025 graduation of Dr Rovaldo Issuja at Kairuki Medical University. Sylvia has sponsored Rovaldo since he was 6 years old, a testament to the long-term success of our sponsorship model. **NB** Sylvia’s trip to Dar Es Salaam was self-funded. 

## **Risk** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Reserves** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has not been maintained throughout the year due to unforseen repairs and maintenance on the Bore Hole and Water Project, but the intention is to replenish the reserves over the coming year.

**THE MUDHOUSE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION** 

**NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

_**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Mudhouse Children's Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation registered 22 January 2015. The registered charity number is 1160089. The registered office is The Drift, Hall Lane, Upper Farringdon, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3EA. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, however, the trustees are aware of certain material uncertainties which may cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, such as the unrestricted fund deficit. The charity is reliant on ongoing donations to meet its obligations. Based on forecasts and historic donor support, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that sufficient income will be generated to allow the charity to continue its activities and meet its liabilities as they fall due. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

## **THE MUDHOUSE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.7 Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
