A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER AND CHAIR

“I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I sat in my bedroom at the age of 23, making notes in a new notepad I had bought from Paperchase on how I could help make this world a better place.

communities in Tanzania this just wouldnʼt be making anywhere near the impact it currently is.

Iʼm eternally grateful for every community member in Tanzania who gives up their time after work to come down to the site, get their hands dirty and contribute to the building of something for their children and the thousands of children in the future who will benefit from the project.

To me, dedicating my life to helping children living in poverty was obvious. I came from a low-income single parent household myself and knew how much education had helped me. With the help of our amazing volunteers, donors and partner communities in Tanzania we have improved the quality of education, health and wellbeing for 25,000+ children in the hope that it continues to decrease child labour, child pregnancy and marriage.

Our team in Tanzania has been growing this year and itʼs enabled us to make a much bigger impact. This year weʼve spent over £200k on projects including classroom builds, feeding programmes, clean water and menstruation support for girls. Without our team and engaged

I look forward to 2024, working with the hundreds of people involved in our projects to create brighter futures for some amazing children.”

“Our 10th year is proudly marked as the highest ever amount we have fundraised and the highest amount that has been deployed into our communities in Tanzania.

We funded close to double the amount of projects than 2022 and in the last 2 years alone, we have funded almost as many projects than we did in the 8 years before that.

This incredible growth is testament to the hard work our volunteers in the UK undertake to raise money from UK trusts and foundations and major donors.

However, without an efficient, engaged and trusting partner on the ground in Tanzania, none of this would be possible. We are ever grateful for our relationship with Ndoto In Action and the immense work they undertake to deliver the projects on the ground in our communities and improve the education of 6,000 children each year.

In 2023 we also trialed our first ever crop programme, to sustainability deliver a nutritionally varied and reliable food source, to feed the children in our schools a meal at lunch time. The trial was a resounding success and we are pleased to be extending this to two more schools in 2024.

All of the above has been achieved while sticking to our core principles of transparency and empowering local communities.

From wherever you are reading this, thank you for another great year and we can't wait to see what 2024 brings.“

WHAT WE DO

Made With Hope believes every child, especially girls, living in rural Tanzania should have access to a quality education to break the cycle of living in poverty. We empower these children through constructing or renovating schools, teacher training and resources, constructing toilets and providing access to clean water, hygiene and sanitation.

Offer health and wellbeing projects to support children in their ability to attend school consistently throughout the academic year, using education facilities as a base.

Empower and partner with small local Tanzanian NGOs and communities that understand their needs and create solutions together.

Maintain a high level of transparency and uphold our strong values to develop and promote an ethical way of running a charity.

Provide sustainable educational facilities in rural Tanzania including primary and secondary schools.

ABOUT THE SCHOOLS WE PARTNER WITH

Each school receives only £15 a month for maintenance, leading to a poor learning environment.

They have limited access to clean water, poor hygiene facilities, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate support for menstruating girls. As well as long distances for children to walk to school.

BUT… the school community is engaged, and we work in collaboration to improve their school so that their children are empowered to learn!

The situation stresses teachers and hinders students' overall well-being.

Established in 2013, Made With Hope is a small volunteer-led charity which exists to provide quality education to enable children to break the cycle of poverty.

With a desire to make the world a little bit fairer, our founder, at age 23 years old, visited Tanzania in 2013 to find a way to empower children living in very remote, isolated villages where life expectancy was low, income was less than $2 a day, there was no public transport and poverty affected the vast majority. Investing in quality education was something that could make an impact to these children.

Our organisation was born in our founderʼs spare bedroom and run by passionate volunteers which means that every person involved is a part of our mission because they really care about it.

WHY WE SUPPORT CHILDREN’S EDUCATION IN TANZANIA

Girls are often stigmatised during menstruation and do not attend school.

Disease from lack of sanitation is a huge factor in why children miss school.

Education quality is often very low because one teacher cannot teach so many students.

If a child doesnʼt pass their exams at the end of Primary School first time, they will be not be able to attend Secondary School.

5 students have to share 1 textbook.

Tanzaniaʼs Free Education For All policy in 2003 has made schools severely overcrowded. We have visited class sizes of 144 in one standard classroom.

There is not enough funding in central government to build enough classrooms, toilets or desks for the students

Education is proven to enable children to break the cycle of poverty.

12

PARTNER SCHOOL LOCATIONS

These 15 partner schools are where Made With Hope have identified a great need to support childrenʼs education. We have formed partnerships with all of these communities and are working together to create sustainable projects that better the lives of the children in their impoverished village.

Transparency is so important to us. We show you exactly where your help is supporting.

PARTNERSHIP

Collaboration is one of our key values, so weʼre always working in partnership. We work alongside Tanzanian organisations, the Tanzanian government, Tanzanian schools and rural communities to identify schools in the greatest need of our support.

We have visited over 20 schools with Tanzanian Government Education Officers, and have formed partnerships with 13 communities and schools to work with them.

Although we focus on empowering children through education, we seek to work alongside communities and empower them too, by engaging them throughout our projects.

With any project, community members are engaged through several community workshops so we can explore the best solutions for their children, together. We discuss and agree on a partnership that will have the biggest impact. From our experience, working alongside the community encourages ownership of a project to ensure its sustainability.

We work alongside communities for several years to ensure projects are sustainable before we consider leaving their community.

OUR WORKWITH THE COMMUNITY IN 2023

Community participatory approach

To make sure the we bring the impactful projects, we worked with the community members to find the problems they are facing through focus group discussions, interviews and community meetings then prioritizing the most critical challenges and find solution together. We are applying a community participatory approach in every project we deliver which means, the community members are involved in designing stage of our projects.

----- Start of picture text -----
17
----- End of picture text -----

Community contribution

To create a sense of ownership, we asked community members to contribute to 10% of the project in the form of manpower. This helps them to project the project at any cost when we left because they have contributed to it and they are not ready to see it destroyed.

One of our favourite examples was when 300 members of the Umoja community came to volunteer their time to construct the foundations of a new school kitchen. Instead of taking 4 days to dig the foundations, we were able to do it in 4 hours.

qUR TANZANIAN PARTNERS THE GROUND" IMPS 19

Ndoto In Action have been our main delivery partner since 2020. Their main focus is to dramatically transform poor rural government schools to they can provide a quality education. This partnership works so well as Made With Hope utilises the fundraising opportunities we have access to here in the UK, Ndoto In Action deliver to projects closely with the community and we both collaborate in monitoring and evaluating the impact of them.

“ I believe quality education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. But quality education needs a conducive environment for it to take place; Ndoto in Action and Made With Hope have partnered to create this conducive environment together with the help of the community and our supporters across the world”

Denish

Trustee at Ndoto In Action

“I did not get a chance to go to the best schools or university. I came from a poor background. I was raised by single mother; she could not afford my education and she was even struggling to take care of the family.

My experience studying in public schools gave me a chance to witness how difficult it is to access quality education with limited infrastructures and most importantly to reach my dreams. I could imagine how young girls are even more affected by poor toilets infrastructures when they’re in menstruation.

This situation inspired me to start Ndoto In Action as a charity aims to transform poor children’s dreams especially young girls into reality through accessing quality education. I have and will always address the issues that young girls face to reach their full potentials in life.”

Hussein Salim

Director & Founder of Ndoto In Action

IMPACT IN 2023

We successfully collaborated with all of the communities we worked with in 2023!

With full engagement and hundreds of hours volunteered completed at construction projects from the community members.

We also had exemplary recognition from the local and regional education department in the Tanzanian government for the work weʼre doing in Arusha communities.

22

WATER IS LIFE Clean water

Clean water sources and collecting rainwater and transporting water to rural villages.

Our impact in 2023:

Installed a 5,000 litre rainwater harvesting system to collect clean water in our two new toilet blocks at Manyire and Mzimuni Primary School to aid handwashing for 1,265 students.

We also installed a 5,000 litre rain water system at our new kitchen at Umoja primary school to improve hygiene for 456 students.

23

LET US LEARN

Learning environments

Building and equipping whole schools or new classrooms. Providing resources.

Our impact in 2023:

Significantly increased the attendance, academic achievement, motivation, morale and safety of 900 hundred students by constructing 20 safe and inspiring classrooms across 3 different schools (Oldenderet, Mshikamano and Mzimuni primary schools. These new classrooms can accommodate a total of 900 students but will be utilised by thousands of students over the coming decades.

We are extremely grateful to One Kind Act, Kaushik and friends, Guernsey Overseas Aid, Scott and Matt and The International Parking Community for generously donating to these projects.

24

BEING WELL

Health

Preventative and simple health solutions for students such as toilets, health workshops, food programmes, handwashing.

Our impact in 2023:

Increased the wellbeing and attendance of 1,265 students in Manyire and Mzimuni Primary schools by constructing two toilet blocks.

A Made with Hope toilet block consists of 10 girls toilets, a changing room, boys urinal area, two boys toilets and a disabled friendly toilet.

No longer will students have to defecate on school grounds or be at risk of disease in their old dilapidated toilets.

We are eternally grateful for the continued support from Brinda Jaykant Shah Foundation to support this project at Manyire primary school.

25

GIRL EMPOWERMENT Education for girls

Supporting girls education and menstrual hygiene management.

Our impact in 2023:

Significantly increased the attendance of 760 at 3 schools during their menstruation.

We implemented a Menstruation Hygiene Management Project which educated 760 girls, 849 boys, 11 teachers and 180 parents about supporting their girls during menstruation and breaking down taboos

Distributed packs of reusable sanitary towels for up to 760 menstruating girls at Manyire, Umoja and Muungano Primary School

Thoroughly rained 6 teachers at 3 schools in how to continue the menstruation programme and implement it into their curriculum.

We are eternally grateful to The Archer Trust for supporting this project.

CASE STUDY

Oldenderet Primary School (GPS location: -3.505583, 36.778389) is a government school that is located in Maasai community in a remote village of Nduruma found in Arusha, Tanzania.

The school provides education for students from nursery level to standard seven. However, like many government schools, it faced numerous challenges that impacted the quality of education.

The most pressing issue was the lack of enough classrooms, resulting in overcrowding. The student-teacher ratios exceeded the recommended limit of 1:45, with one classroom having to accommodate 62 students. Consequently, students had to sit on dusty floors or share chairs meant for fewer students.

The classrooms also had leaky roofs, damaged walls, and peeling paint, this made the learning environment less conducive.

In addition, the classrooms were lacking doors and glass, which made it even more challenging during the rainy seasons.

27

The construction of 11 new classrooms at Oldenderet Primary School was a significant need. It aimed to create a better learning environment for 495 students who are eager to pursue their education and break the cycle of poverty in their families and communities. Due to the limited number of classrooms, the school struggled to accommodate the increasing enrollment of students each year.

“Hundreds of community members gave up their time to come and help with the classrooms. It was incredible to see such dedication.”

How will this project be sustainable?

This is a long term partnership with Oldenderet Primary School. Made With Hope and our delivery partner will be visiting this school at least every month to check on the maintenance of the school as well as implementing other projects.

We established project committees which will be organizing budget for the project maintenance. This committee includes the local government officials, teachers, parents, community members and students.

Since supporting Oldenderet school their grades and attendance have dramatically improved.

Thank you!

With the amazing support from One Kind Act and Brinda Jaykant Shah Foundation, and Zac we have been able to transform Oldenderet and will be forever grateful.

The local community are so proud that their school is now recognised by the government as exemplary.

FEEDING PROGRAMME

With the help of our fantastic implementation partner (Ndoto in Action, a registered Tanzanian NGO) we have implemented an identical feeding programme at nearby Umoja primary school (one of our partner schools).

We have seen a number of exciting outcomes including a decrease in hunger, decrease in absences related to ill-health, reduced diarrhea incidents at school, improved concentration, studentʼs reporting improved health, increased knowledge of agriculture and nutrition of students and parents, since the students started consuming the nutrients they were growing in their school garden.

Based on this learning and impact weʼve generated at Umoja primary school, we plan to replicate this at all of our 9 partner schools.

OUR VALUES

Donation promise

100%

We are a team of passionate volunteers which means we have almost no running costs. This allows us to donate 100% of your funds to the projects in Tanzania.

Transparency

We see it as a fundamental right that every supporter knows exactly where every penny of their money is spent.

Purpose

We have an awareness and social conscience that millions of people live in extreme poverty through no fault of their own and we desire to take action as global citizens.

Collaboration

We do this through collaborating with local Tanzanian NGOs to address the specific educational needs of children in their community.

35

WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT

Transparency

We believe in transparency so much that we publish our mistakes online.

Quality over quantity

We focus on quality of education as opposed to quantity.

Finding solutions together

We listen to the community and find solutions together.

Partnership

We partner with a Tanzanian NGO to deliver the projects & we remain behind the scenes.

Volunteer led

We are led by volunteers in the UK with a variety of diverse skills.

36

HOW WE APPROACH TRANSPARENCY

One of Made With Hopeʼs first ever aims was to create an organisation where people felt like they knew where their money was going.

When we first started, we struggled to understand why charities seemed so shiny and perfect. No one was talking about their mistakes or lessons learned. We knew this didnʼt add up because the public were struggling to trust charities and news stories would appear about charityʼs mistakes. Here is how weʼre tackling this issue.

We clearly publish our mistakes and lessons learned on our website. Visit our page on transparency.

We frequently share our receipts online.

We invite supporters to challenge our transparency.

We show how we spend donors money in detail that is reader friendly (aka you donʼt have to be an accountant to understand it).

“Public trust in charities is going down. The main reason for this is lack of transparency.”

Charity commission report 2018

37

BEHIND THE SCENES

Itʼs not always easy to see what a charity is doing to improve their organisation so that can continue to work towards achieving their mission and be a strong, sustainable organisation. As part of our transparency aims weʼre sharing things weʼve been doing this year that are helping to improve our charity.

Our incredible team in Tanzania is growing . We have so many projects being funded and implemented in our partner communities that we needed more staff. Ndoto in Action (our partner in Tanzania) now has 2 paid staff and 7 very dedicated volunteers that contribute weekly, almost daily to the operations of projects.

38

100% donation promise. We are completely run by dedicated volunteers which means any any donations given to us for projects all go to implementing the project on the ground.

We have around £2,775 of running costs in the UK such as paying accounting fees, website hosting and bank fees but these are all funding by Trustees and a major donor. We understand some charities need paid staff but because we are small and have lots of dedicated volunteers we can give 100%.

Thank you!

None of the projects we do are possible without the very generous donations we receive. We are eternally grateful for every single person that supports the work we do.

We want to give a special thank you to:

INCOME & EXPENDITURE

A glance at us since we began

Expenditure

We were very pleased with the income and expenditure of 2022 here at MWH. We found our fundraising and project implementation very manageable as a team of volunteers and we made a huge impact to thousands of children.

We spent £206,068 this year. Only £2,775 of this was on our running costs such as accountancy fees, consultancy fees and website hosting. This is funded by our Trustees and a major donor so that we can ensure that 100% of your donation goes to our projects in Tanzania.

Total our volunteers have raised to date: £709,486

Income

We are incredibly excited that we absolutely smashed our fundraising goal this year! Our team of volunteers raised a total of £153,646 through applying to Trusts and Foundations, corporate sponsorships, challenges, online giving and major donors.

With every donation we get we honestly still feel so surprised and so happy that someone has chosen to believe in the work we do. We are forever grateful even after 10 years.

Our finances year on year

6. Achievements and Performance

Always working in partnership

We are working alongside Tanzanian organisations, the Tanzania n government, Tanzanian schools and rural communities to identify schools in the greatest need of our support. We have visited several schools with Tanzanian Government Education Officers and have formed partnerships with 13 communities/schools to work with.

Although we focus on empowering children through education, we seek to work alongside communities and empower them too, by engaging them throughout our projects. With any project, community members are engaged through several community workshops so we can explore the best solutions for their children, together. We discuss and agree on a partnership that will have the biggest impact. From our experience, working alongside the community encourages ownership of a project to ensure its sustainability.

We work alongside communities for several years to ensure projects are sustainable before we consider leaving that community.

Our Delivery Partner

We work in partnership with local people who truly understand their community's needs. These partnerships are formed by our implementation partner, Ndoto in Action which is a Tanzanian registered NGO (charity) that exists to deliver projects that will help give children a chance to escape the poverty cycle. The Director, Hussein, is also the founder of Ndoto in Action and has a team of volunteers working with him to deliver projects in the communities. Their dedication is truly admirable and their quality of work is incredible. This partnership we have is so special and works so well in supporting our beneficiaries.

Our Values

Dedicated to Transparency.

Our impact in 2023

Fundraising and Operational Highlights

We still operate on a 100% donations to our projects policy. Our very small admin costs (around £2000) are funded by our Trustees and major donors separately.

As a volunteer only charity, we are really pleased with what we have achieved. We are so lucky to have so many dedicated volunteers helping to run our projects, website, social media, donor stewardship, bookkeeping, safeguarding and much more.

In 2023 we decided to continue to focus our fundraising on major donors, challenges and Trusts and Foundations because we do not have the capacity to run community events. We have been successful in securing several new donors as well as maintaining almost all of our existing donors.

Due to the capacity building of Ndoto in Action from Made with Hope over the last 3 years, Ndoto in Action are now taking on many of the tasks that MWH were doing. For example they are now posting more updates on our social media to share what is happening on the ground almost daily. Their volunteers are also supporting the development of fundraising applications and reports which is allowing MWH to send more applications out. This development of Ndoto in Action is exciting and helps Made with Hope focus on diversifying our income.

Operationally we are seeking additional Trustees to diversify our board but we are not going to rush into finding Trustees unless they have the right skill set and time to give to the charity.

7. Statement of Trustees responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Made With Hope Limited) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company at the end of the year and of the incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: -

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 or other irregularities.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st December 2023, which are set out on pages 9-13

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner. The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report. My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: -

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in the report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
