REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Objects of the charity
Tutela Africa is governed by a Constitution as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees, and whose objects as a charity for the public benefit are:
-
the prevention and/or relief of poverty in Mozambique and such other parts of the World as the charity trustees may from time to time decide; and
-
the promotion of health in particular by alleviating the suffering and distress caused by illness, loss or death of parents and/or the breakdown of marriage and family relationships in Africa and such other parts of the world as the charity trustees may from time to time decide.
Vision, Mission, Values
Tutela’s vision is for every child to belong in a safe and happy family home, cared for by parents who can raise them in a loving way that will enable them to thrive in adulthood.
Its mission is to establish foster-care homes in Mozambique for children who are orphaned or vulnerable and to provide training and practical support to Mozambican parents with the aim of strengthening families so as to prevent abandonment.
Its values are honesty, openness, compassion and partnership, alongside an understanding of the maxim: “It takes a village to raise a child”.
The Strategy and Approach:
Extreme poverty has put unbearable pressure on families in Mozambique, with many children growing up without one or both of their parents who have been lost to disease, conflict or natural disasters. Extended families are often unable to offer adequate care for the surviving children who face the prospect of a severely neglectful childhood including malnutrition, sickness or abuse, as well as emotional and even physical abandonment. Many of these most vulnerable children are being raised in some form of institutional care, such as an orphanage. We don't believe these environments provide the best opportunity for youngsters to flourish, and the optimum way to raise a child is in a family environment with a secure home. Tutela Africa provides family-like foster homes, where each child receives high quality care from a Mozambican foster mum and dad and the support of a social worker. The homes are family environments; places that enable children to enjoy their childhood in a safe and happy space, with positive attention from carers and their needs met, protecting them from the impact of family breakdown and reverse the trauma they have faced.
Review of Activities and Achievements:
The charity continued to raise awareness and raise funds for its primary strategic objective – financing the establishment of foster homes in Maputo, Mozambique, for orphans and vulnerable children. During the year, the charity's UK Director based in Mozambique working with the rest of the Tutela staff team who are all Mozambican placed one child with the foster mother at Tutela's first foster home, taking the total of children in her care to six. All six children were given high quality care and assistance throughout the year - a balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle, and a safe home environment. The charity provided school places for all school aged children (five of them), including options for extra-curricular activities and tutoring sessions. Tutoring sessions were increased after schools were closed as a result of the Covid19 pandemic.
Training and risk assessments were conducted to enhance protection for all Tutela staff and children during the pandemic, particularly for those with underlying health conditions. Tutela followed the local guidelines from Social Welfare Dept for staying safe.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
Review of Activities and Achievements (continued):
During the year, the Director also identified and screened the second foster couple for placing in the second foster home. A couple moved into the home shortly before the pandemic started, and although their placement was eventually unsuccessful a new couple are now in the second home. Due to the pandemic, the placement of children in the second home was delayed until early 2021. The establishment of this foster home continues the pilot phase of Tutela’s programme of foster care.
Aside from the protection offered by the foster homes, Tutela also offered support to seven vulnerable families to help them avoid family breakdown. The support offered was both pastoral and practical and included small subsidies to help families meet their most basic needs.
The total grants paid by the charity for activities in Mozambique were £26,717 (2018/19 - £27,763).
In planning the activities of the charity, the Trustees have applied the guidance given by the Charity Commission on public benefit in December 2008.
Future Plans
With a second foster couple now in residence at the second home and with the support of the Tutela’s Mozambican Country Coordinator and Social Worker it is anticipated that during this next financial year more vulnerable children will be approved for foster care in this home. The successful establishment of Tutela’s first two homes allows a period of consolidation and review before the setting up of further foster homes.
Financial Review
Income for the year was £37,314 (2018/19 - £22,763). This income was mainly from donations. Expenditure for the year was £42,655 (2018/19 - £35,410). There is £11,096 held in the charity’s UK bank account and £8,199 in the Mozambique bank account, as at 30 September 2020.
The Trustees are extremely grateful to the faithful support of a number of individuals and families in the UK who provide generous support for the growth of Tutela’s activities, as well as churches, schools and trusts. Significant time is to be invested in the coming year in both thankful feedback whilst raising awareness of the continued work of Tutela Africa with others of how the vision, mission and values of this pilot stage are coming to fruition and as a result making significant changes to the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in Mozambique and how further investment into these lives will significantly impact their future.
Structure, Governance and Management
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity, have updates from the UK Director in Mozambique, review finances, funding and risks as well as discuss ongoing future strategy. New trustees are appointed by the Trustees, the recruitment of whom is assisted by a process of open discussion on roles required, responsibilities to be met, and expectations of each trustee, as well as on induction being given as much information on the Charity, including a brief history, information on the charity’s projects, minutes of recent meetings, the CIO Constitution, previous Annual Reports and Accounts and up to date budgets as well as sign posting to the Charity Commission's guidance on the “Essential Trustee”.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
Risk Management
The trustees have throughout the year considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed. In the past 12 months the major operational risk has been the extent to which COVID-19 might affect the ability for the charity to care for its staff and most importantly the foster children. These risks have been monitored at every Trustee meeting and where necessary action has been taken by the Director to minimise that risk as far as possible alongside adherence of Mozambican Government guidance. The charity fully understands the safeguarding risks relating to the care of vulnerable children, and the Director in Mozambique has frequent discussions with all local Mozambican staff regarding safeguarding welfare and compliance including local laws. In addition, the trustees work to ensure that there is adequate monitoring of finance and funding risks at each trustees meeting.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees keep under review the level of reserves maintained by the charity and intend to keep a reasonably low level of reserves since the charity has no significant medium or long term liabilities. The trustees have agreed that the level of reserves which it would be prudent to maintain is three months operating expenditure. For 2020/21 this equates to £10,500. The trustees will convene an immediate meeting to consider the funding situation if the free cash reserves in the upcoming three months are anticipated to be below the reserves policy.
Trustees' Responsibilities
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year, which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
