REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

How we work

We place a high value on working closely with individuals and communities and always seek to serve and support rather than to dictate or impose. We therefore work hard at building strong relationships so that we are genuinely working together, rather than merely setting out to meet a need.

We believe that poverty isn’t merely a lack of money but a lack of choice and opportunity. We therefore believe that a large part of Hope for Tomorrow Global’s role is to enable, to facilitate and to support and resource where we can. Sometimes this involves giving finance directly, especially in crisis situations, but we believe that it’s primarily about enabling people to access opportunities that will empower them, such as education and skills training. We believe that these opportunities have an ongoing, lasting impact and that they will play a part in seeing genuine, lasting transformation.

Our Partner

Hope for Tomorrow Global (HFTG) partners and works closely with City Gate Church (CGC), based in Bujumbura, which has a vision to see Burundi transformed.

Our Activities

Our current focus is serving the poor in Burundi, in East Africa.

In aiming to achieve our objectives, our activities this past year have included:

Teaching Foundations for Farming

Our main focus this year has been the ongoing empowering of Burundians by training them in Foundations for Farming (FfF). This method of farming, when implemented faithfully, enables farmers to feed their families from just a small piece of land and to also gain an income from surplus crops.

FfF is a method of farming originally pioneered in Zimbabwe which has a proven track record in lifting families out of poverty. Crops yield an average of 10 times more than traditional farming methods, when FfF is implemented faithfully, and the same land is used year after year. It’s based on doing things in the way God intended in nature.

It has been developed over the past 40 years and has been introduced in many nations around the world. FfF is having a huge impact in alleviating poverty and eradicating hunger. In Zimbabwe, in 2020, as a result of the Government making FfF part of its national strategy for agriculture, yields across the nation increased by 40% and Zimbabwe was able to feed itself for the first time in decades. That’s our desire for Burundi and is what we are working towards.

We first introduced FfF to the communities we have been supporting in Burundi in 2017, starting with just 21 trainees. We have expanded significantly and during this past year, through partnering with CGC, HFTG has continued to work with over 200 of the poorest and most vulnerable families from the communities of Carama and Gatunguru, on the outskirts of the city, training them in FfF.

To date, yields of maize, a staple food, have consistently been 6 times higher than the national average (6 tonnes per hectare, compared to 1 tonne per hectare from conventional farming methods) and some people even achieved 7 times the national average this past season. This is a life-changing increase for those dependent upon the land for their food.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

This increase has brought real hope and joy among the families involved and has also attracted a lot of attention from passersby and many influential people in the nation who are now eager to find out more, with many asking if they too can join the training.

The trainers HFTG has been funding have continued to work with over 200 trainees who are among the poorest of the poor, throughout the year, ensuring that the key principles of FfF are applied and that high standards are maintained, so that trainees can get the maximum yields possible.

Further increase will be possible once trainees can use the same land year after year, as FfF improves the structure and quality of the soil. HFTG funds the rent of the land the trainees learn on and farm on.

One of our local trainees, from a very poor community, participated in our training. She is illiterate and unable to count, having had no schooling. She gained permission from a landowner to farm on a part of a building plot he was not using, land which was just a few metres by a few metres. She was very nervous, due to her lack of education, as she began to try to implement foundations for farming, but one of the trainers supported her to get started and before long she was the proud owner of incredible maize plants and harvested a significant crop from this tiny piece of land.

The owner of the land was so amazed at what she had managed to grow from such a tiny plot that he gave her the full plot the following season. From this plot she was able to harvest enough maize to feed her entire family: herself, her husband and five children. All this was achieved on a plot of land that is less than half the size of a pfumvudza. (A Pfumvudza is a plot 16 x 39m, from which a family of 6 can sustain itself for a full year. )

She even had surplus that she was able to sell so she could buy school uniforms and books for her children and she was thrilled to also be able to pay for her own medical bills. Her story is an incredible example of one of Foundation for Farming’s key principles of being faithful with small things. She started with a tiny piece of land and was soon given more for free and now can feed her family. Her story had a huge impact on others in the community who were inspired that if she could do it, then they could too. Many are now seeking land for rent, on top of the land HFTG has been able to rent for them.

a. Farming Independently - Pfumvudza Plots

A great deal of time and effort has been put into teaching about Pfumvudza plots and how a plot of land this size is sufficient to feed a family. A Pfumvudza plot is 39m x 16m and is the size of land needed to sustain a family of six for a year with maize, the staple food.

In the second farming season of the year, beans are grown on the same plot. This replaces nitrogen in the soil, replenishing it and also gives the family a source of income, so they have both food and finance available. It’s a key to lifting families out of poverty.

In Burundi, one of the main challenges for over 90% of the population who live off the land is that they don’t have enough land to sustain themselves, hence the food crisis in the nation. However, by implementing FfF on a Pfumvudza plot, due to the increased yields, families grow 52 rows of maize and each row will produce around 20kg of maize, enough for a family for a whole week. This far outweighs what they would harvest using traditional methods and so, if adopted on a large scale, is a potential game-changer for the nation. Therefore, one of our priorities has been to demonstrate this to trainees, onlookers and visitors.

The emphasis this year has been on moving the trainees towards farming independently, although still with support and supervision from the FfF team. Trainees have reached the point where they had sufficient skills to implement FfF successfully and needed access to a small piece of land to become self-sufficient with food.

HOPE FOR TOMORROW GLOBAL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Land has been very difficult to acquire, for rent or purchase, so each of the 194 families on the farming training was loaned half a pfumvudza size plot to grow maize for the first season and then beans 6 months later.

Each person took responsibility for their own plot and planted and cared for their plants as they had been taught. Harvest time was a joyous occasion as each family took home the sacks of maize they had grown, enough to feed their family for a year. A short time later they planted their beans which, when harvested, will be a cash crop which they will be able to sell.

Traditional farming methods require over 2 hectares of land for a family to feed itself from, which is 32 times the size of a Pfumvudza!

This Pfumvudza concept is a key to eradicating hunger across the nation.

b. Offering Foundations for Farming Training to Others across the Nation

A big development this year has been the acquisition of a building to rent as a training centre. HFTG funds the ongoing rental and security costs of this key building and the wide range of resources necessary to fully equip the building to enable it to function as a multipurpose centre for the activities of HFTG including FfF training. (Further details to be found in the next section of this report).

In addition to a meeting hall, this facility has accommodation on site, enabling people to come from across the nation to stay for a week and receive training on the 12 key lessons of Foundations for Farming. The training centre can cater for 12 residential guests at one time, accommodated in basic accommodation with bunk beds. This is very significant as in order to train people who are travelling from different provinces in Burundi, they need to be able to come to our demonstration plots so that they can see what is possible.

This year we have worked hard to develop our demonstration plots, including demonstration pfumvudzas, as well as trialling vegetables grown by implementing FfF principles. We have received scores of visitors who have been inspired and are eager to learn.

The training we now offer is a mixture of theoretical teaching based in the centre and practical training on the training sites nearby, which includes the demonstration plots.

Our first residential training week was held in October 2021 and was attended by 12 men and women from across the nation, some representing NGOs and churches and various organisations who have influence and can potentially pass on the training to other people. This training was highly successful. Some of the attendees were agronomists and ended the week by giving feedback that their current and traditional practices were totally challenged by evidence of the incredibly successful yields achieved through the methods taught by FfF trainers. This resulted in them embracing FfF and returning to 9 of Burundi’s 18 provinces to start to implement their learning.

We also completed the training of nine people referred to in last year's report, inviting them back to share their experiences of implementing FfF and reinforce key points of the training and sharing good practice. They have now successfully implemented FfF in two provinces in Burundi, so FfF is now starting to have a wider impact.

It is especially key because they passed on their training to their communities and as a result well over 150 families have now been able to harvest enough to substantially improve on previous yields, at least 4 times the yields they had received in previous years. A real sense of hope and joy is being experienced in these communities as families are now well on their way to being able to sustain themselves through FfF.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

More locally, we have also offered a number of daily trainings which can be attended by people who can reach us in a day. They have received training on how to plant maize and bean crops. We have had some very positive feedback from these courses and people have started to implement the training they have received.

Our lead trainer is also the National Co-ordinator for FfF in Burundi, as appointed by the Foundations for Farming Headquarters in Zimbabwe. He and others in the team are following up those that we have trained this year to ensurethat they implement Foundations for Farming faithfully on small plots initially before extending to bigger pieces of land once they have proved that they have fully grasped the training.

We have purchased a second vehicle with HFTG funds which is enabling us to be able to get out across Burundi to do this important follow up work of “shepherding”. It is an essential part of making sure that people are implementing FfF faithfully.

As our vision is to eradicate hunger across Burundi, it is crucial that we don't just train people initially, but that they are supported and monitored, and enabled to be as successful as they possibly can be. As trainees begin to farm in different regions there are different challenges that arise, so this follow up is a very important part of what we are doing. Thus our trainers are funded to continue work with our local families as well as those from further afield.

c. Resources for FfF

We continue to supply funds for seed and for renting land and have also provided the materials and equipment needed by the trainers and trainees as they start to learn this new way of farming.

HFTG has supplied all trainees with hoes, buckets, measuring ropes and the other basic equipment needed for FfF. This was provided on a loan basis initially, but upon successful graduation, trainees who intend to continue farming can then keep the equipment assigned to them, so that they have what they need to be able to continue to farm using FfF methods.

d. The Eden Centre

A major development this year was taking on the rental of our new facility, the Eden Centre. We primarily needed this to enableresidential training for FfF (as discussed in the previous section) but this is also an extremely useful resource, enabling all our activities to be located under one roof. HFTG has funded the equipping of this for use as it was essentially an empty building. Each area has been kitted out including: training hall with tables and chairs, accommodation facilities, 4 bedrooms (bunk beds, bedding and towels), living area (tables, chairs), FfF office (storage cupboards, desks, shelving, computer, printer), training room, pastoral area for Kingdom Care ministries, the kitchen and cooking areas (fridges, cupboards, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, storage cupboards, linens.) A range of audio-visual equipment was necessary for the large training room including: large TV screen, microphones, mixer desk, speakers. In addition to one off purchases, an onsite manager is funded to oversee the safety and security of the site, and guards are funded day and night.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

e. Translation of Resources

A huge task, undertaken by some of the FfF trainers, funded by HFTG, is the continued translation of the FfF Training Manual and other training materials, such as PowerPoints, into the local language, Kirundi. HFTG has also funded a laptop for FfF, which is used for translation and for all the farming records and associated administration. These records are a vital part of gaining credibility with agronomists, researchers and the Ministry of Agriculture, who are eager to see concrete data. It is also crucial to the trainers who use this data in their planning.

f. Land for Farming

HFTG has funded the rent of around 6.5 hectares of land this year. It has been the main training site for all 200 trainees. HFTG has also rented some land to serve those from the Gatunguru community, so they can farm near where they live. This saves them travelling to Carama each day and maintains a visible presence in Gatunguru where there has been a lot of interest in FfF since 2017 when training began. This rented land has been used for families to have plots of half a pfumvudza to start sustainable independent farming for their own families.

HFTG, via CGC, has been working with local authorities in the area to look for long term sustainable solutions to allow people to be able to live and farm in the areas they are operating, without risk of landslides and mudslides.

Work on the local infrastructure in Gatunguru is now completed; this has focused primarily on building adequate drainage channels. It has been improved by those with a vested interest in the area, to both protect the people and their homes and also to protect the farmland; HFTG has contributed towards this. The disaster in the same area in 2014 killed over 100 people, wiped out hundreds of homes and destroyed thousands of livelihoods, so this development has been critical in keeping people safe and giving them an opportunity to sustain themselves there.

A further key development has been the purchase of a piece of land around 3 hectares for farming, funded by HFTG, which will allow 30 – 40 families to have long term access of a Pfumvudza plot, as well as us having demo plots and another training site.

The value of this land can not be overstated as having the same land year on year to farm will result in enabling families to produce increased yields as the quality of the soil improves over the time they consistently and faithfully farm it.

g. Attracting Attention and Expansion

There continues to be a high level of interest in FfF. Consequently, a large volume of visitors have been welcomed, shown our demonstration plots and time has been given to explaining our vision, our story and the principles and rewards of FfF training.

Well in excess of 100 people including: local leaders and officials, agronomists, people within the Ministry of Agriculture, pastors, representatives of various organisations and charities and even a visitor from Congo have visited. There has been a constant stream of visitors and an ever-increasing number of requests for help from people wanting to learn FfF.

Introductory workshops have been hosted so that people can understand the basic principles of FfF and why it is so effective. Following this, if they choose, they can then sign up to do our training, which almost everyone who has attended has indicated that they hope to be training in the coming months.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Visitors’ responses are passionate and enthusiastic, conveying their comprehension that we have a highly effective way of enabling families to feed themselves. They have referred to conventional farming methods in the nation as ‘not working’ and have clearly stated their belief that we have a solution and are encouraging the FfF team to share it as quickly and widely as possible. Consequently, there is a real sense of expansion and a keen focus on sharing methods of achieving food security throughout Burundi by teaching families to feed themselves by implementing FfF, thus relieving poverty. HFTG provides the funding to support all aspects of this.

We remain committed to seeing the families we have been supporting become fully self-sufficient with food and so remain focused on finding land to rent so that each family can have the use of a Pfumvudza plot next season.

h. Partnering with FfF Global

The head of the international network for FfF has invited two of the FfF team in Burundi to become ‘FfF Champions’, the representatives of FfF in Burundi. Anyone wanting to learn in the nation will be put in touch with these ‘FfF Champions’ and will then be encouraged to attend the training offered. In addition, our lead trainer has now been appointed as the National Co-ordinator for Burundi.

This means that the FfF team in Burundi are now in regular contact with the FfF Global Team, based in Zimbabwe, for the purposes of support, advice and input and with the aim of establishing an accredited training base in Burundi in the near future.

This has been a wonderful encouragement, especially to the FfF team who have worked so hard and faithfully to see FfF established there with such high standards.

2. Crisis Relief in Carama and Gatunguru

Alongside working towards long-term, sustainable solutions to the food crisis and poverty, we continue to intensively support over 200 families in extreme poverty in the following ways:

a. Food

HFTG continues to provide food to families who are on the FfF training programme, providing approximately 20kg of beans each month. As they are training for 2 days a week, they are unable to find paid work on these days. The food provided by HFTG enables them to continue training. Without this help they would not be able to sustain themselves and would be forced to abandon training to find work.

HFTG also supports a small number of families with food who are unable to do the farming training due to health issues or disabilities.

In addition to the food provided to the farming trainees, HFTG provides a highly nutritious porridge to children who are exhibiting signs of malnutrition. This appears to make a visible difference within days. Nursing mothers who are undernourished have also been given the nutritious porridge, alongside providing them with formula milk and feeding bottles.

Food support is still critically needed by those who receive it. Even with this support, many families are struggling to feed themselves. This will change as families are able to farm Pfumvudza plots.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

b. Health and Medical Care

We continue to provide funds for medical care where individuals are unable to cover this for themselves. Where possible they make a small contribution, but for many this is beyond their means.

We are regularly paying for treatment for between 70 and 100 people every month covering a wide range of issues including: treating asthma, diabetes, various infections and other ailments including some who have had surgery and those who have sustained injuries and broken bones etc in accidents. Burundi is experiencing malaria and typhoid outbreaks so medication and treatments are provided for those suffering with these illnesses.

The medical care is absolutely critical for the community who are already struggling to provide food and rent, covering medical bills for these families would be impossible.

We continue to have a contract with a local clinic, meaning those in the community we support who have urgent health needs can be seen quickly. Where the clinic recommends that people receive more specialist treatment, a member of our team accompanies them to the hospital to assess whether or not we are able to help with what is being recommended. Sometimes this is further investigations including scans and Xrays.

We have a number of children who are especially vulnerable that are visited regularly by our team. We continue to provide them with the specially enhanced nutritional porridge and also additional vegetables. We encourage and support the families to grow certain types of vegetables which are particularly nutritious and easy to grow in the area where they are living.

We have a system in place that is monitoring the wellbeing of all of the families; a paper file with a record of every family, any support given and when they need to be reviewed.

c. Shelter and Safety

Many of the families we have been supporting are still homeless and shelter in partly built houses, with the permission of the owners. Buildings often don’t have a complete roof and rarely have doors.

By working with the team from CGC, we seek to assist these especially vulnerable families by helping them to find a simple place to rent, which is often just a single-roomed mud house. We support them by providing the deposit, which would normally be 3 months’ rent in advance, which is generally way beyond their means.

For some, once the deposit is paid, they can then take on the monthly rent and at least then have a place where they can lock the door at night. This is helping to reduce incidences of sexual assault and rape, which was becoming very common when families had no means of keeping themselves safe and secure.

Some families, particularly those where only one parent is present, are unable to afford to rent even a single-roomed house and so HFTG supports these families to ensure they have some kind of shelter. This support is assessed on a case-by-case basis, with involvement from the community leaders. Sometimes families can contribute towards it but at other times, it is covered entirely by HFTG. This support is kept under review and needs are re-assessed by the team every 3 months.

We have been supporting a much higher number of people to access shelter due to the increased rent costs in the region (in some instances 40 – 60% increase). Rental prices have risen drastically as there is now a shortage of homes.

Page 9

HOPE FOR TOMORROW GLOBAL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

There are two main causes for this. Firstly, severe flooding caused by Lake Tanganyika’s water levels rising destroyed many homes and businesses. Secondly, a vast number of properties which, over many years, had been informally built on government land, are being bulldozed as the government reclaims land that was originally theirs. Thus HFTG continues to rent homes for many people, trying to ensure safe and secure basic housing wherever possible.

d. Rebuild, Restore

This is an initiative to provide land and homes for families that have lost their homes in recent years or had land taken from them. The aim is to see families have safe accommodation that they can stay in long term. This will provide security for them and their children into the future.

We want to see families able to sustain themselves from farming, so we are eager that they have a home to live in with access to land nearby. The combination of having a home that is theirs as well as land nearby should be a game changer in terms of people being lifted out of poverty; no longer fearing sudden eviction or living in appalling unsafe conditions.

The current living conditions of most of the community, despite us supporting as best we can to enable them to rent a suitable home, is extremely poor. For example, some shelters without a complete roof or door, meaning they are often flooded and there is no security leaving vulnerabilities of thefts of the little they have (perhaps cooking utensils, maise or beans) and physical and sexual assaults.

Homes lack sanitation and easy access to clean water. Many are sharing long-drop toilets with over 100 other people. Space is often cramped with large families sharing one room which is particularly challenging with growing families with teenage boys and girls (more than five children in a family is common). Clearly this isn't acceptable, but for the communities and families that we are working with it would be completely prohibitive for them to ever be able to own their own land.

‘Rebuild and Restore’ is our vision to gradually, probably over a period of a few years, see each of the families that we have been working with in recent years own a small plot of land and to give them some assistance in building a safe home. This is something that they will be able to contribute to but unlikely that they would ever be able to afford this without our support. We hope to enable them to build: using baked bricks; make a concrete floor rather than a mud floor; a roof that covers the whole house; a minimum of a 3 roomed home so that boys and girls can sleep separately and also a separate room for the parents. We want to ensure: a small cooking area, a place to dry out their maize and store it and then an area for a long drop toilet.

Phase one of this initiative is to provide 30 of the most vulnerable families with a plot of land for building their safe and secure home. It is important that land is chosen carefully to enable easy access to farm land nearby. HFTG has and will continue to purchase farming land which will then be available for them to access a pfumvudza-sized plot, to enable them to be feed themselves in a sustainable way, using the FfF principles they have learned, and also have cash crops to sell to support themselves and leave more for other needs such as medical and educational bills.

e. Crisis Intervention

Our Christmas appeal enabled us to provide ongoing support to families in crisis. We were able to buy beans and maize for around 200 families for a month. We were also able to provide porridge for malnourished children, and shelter for the most vulnerable families we work with.

The team continues to visit families in their homes and works closely with individuals with specific challenges or particularly vulnerable families. Support varies on a case-by-case basis but is undoubtedly making a huge difference in helping families survive, while we work with them towards long-term sustainable solutions.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

f. Kingdom Care

Kingdom Care is our drop-in centre, which has been set up to respond to the wide variety of needs in the communities we support. A team of three leaders make themselves available at a set time every week to offer a safe place where people can drop in without an appointment.

This continues to be a useful and valuable service, providing a space where members of the community can make urgent needs known and receive help and support. This has resulted in resolving some difficulties and meeting needs within the community through early intervention, rather than allowing escalation of these needs into major crises. Many have attended and appreciated there being a team who can take time to listen.

This resource is primarily providing an opportunity for people to come who are in crisis in some way, either due to poverty, sexual abuse, domestic violence, or who need some advice. Practical support and pastoral care are offered for any issues presented. The team assesses the needs and determines how best to respond with the resources available. This has proved to be particularly beneficial to the women in the community who have appreciated there being a place to discuss abuse or issues within the family.

g. Small Business Support Funds

The team actively encourages those we support to consider how they can use what they have to generate an income. There are occasions when we have been able to support individual families to enable them to earn an income by helping them with a small start-up grant to set up a business, such as selling mattresses or charcoal. This small amount of capital has enabled them to buy some produce or products to sell, giving the family a small income.

Members of the team then work with the people involved to help them produce a simple business plan and support them in the venture through ongoing mentoring.

This opportunity is available and people’s situations are assessed on a case by case basis. Several families have been helped in this way this year.

3. Provision of Milk to Undernourished and Malnourished Children

HFTG continues to provide ½ litre of fresh milk daily to undernourished and malnourished children in the community of Carama. The milk is supplied every day to 247 children aged 10 and under, plus pregnant and nursing mothers.

We run a sponsorship programme where donors can sponsor a child for £10 a month to receive the milk daily. This has been of great benefit to those who receive it, providing a regular source of nutrition, and has made an enormous difference to their well-being.

4. Education

HFTG funds have continued to support an increased number of children this academic year. 327 students are now supported to attend school. They are mainly primary age, although there are a number of secondary pupils also.

80% of the parents of the families we support in the Carama community are illiterate. Thus the impact of schooling for the children should be immense, not only for them but their families and the community as a whole.

Funding has provided the essential requirements for attending school in Burundi, which includes school uniforms, school bags, shoes, stationery, books, and sometimes the purchase of chairs or contributions towards teachers’ salaries. School uniforms were again made by people within the community with tailoring skills which is cheaper than buying uniforms and also provided an income for the tailors.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Our education team of three people have been working with ten literate members of the community who have influence across other families. They have been working with them on a weekly basis, helping them to understand the value of education and enabling them to pass on, to the families that they are in contact with, ways of engaging with their children, with the aim that this will have an impact across the community.

They are also encouraging parents to keep a check on the uniform, make sure that it is in good condition, they are not selling it, ensuring that the children have got their school kits and trying to encourage them to ask questions about what the children have been doing, what they have been learning and to look at their books. This is beginning to have an impact and this larger team are reporting that parents are, in some instances at least, talking to their children about what they are doing and are looking at their work. Even if they can’t read, they are learning how to at least ask questions about what they have been learning.

One of the other benefits of this support is that this year no children have dropped out of school permanently. This kind of follow up has meant that even if some children decide that they want to leave school, parents have more understanding of the value of education and as a result even when some children stopped going, parents have managed to get them back into school so there have been no dropouts from school for any reason. This is very encouraging.

Local authorities are also commenting on the fact that with children in school the rates of trouble, or “juvenile delinquency” as they refer to it, have significantly dropped because there are more children in school which is also positive. Also parents are very relieved that their children are doing something useful rather than begging or getting into trouble, so this is added benefit to the community as well.

A new initiative for this year is that we have paid one of the tailors in our community to go to the Eden centre on a Saturday. Parents can take their children’s uniforms to have them repaired. This helps keep the children in school because often school will refuse to have the children there if their uniforms get tatty, which they inevitably do with daily use.

The education team are also visiting families in their homes to do some spot checks on uniforms and kits. Through their visits and their intense work with the ten identified families, the education team are constantly seeking to model how parents should be relating to their children.

5. Response to COVID-19

We continue to provide vulnerable families in the communities of Carama and Gatunguru with buckets with taps for outside their homes and soap for regular handwashing. Broken buckets and taps are replaced when needed and soap continues to be supplied on a weekly basis to all families on our crisis list.

Good hygiene and protocols have been established by the team. Hand washing facilities are in place at all farming sites, the store house, and the training centre.

Covid has continued to spread. Numbers have decreased but it is still in circulation and a concern due to the vulnerabilities and living conditions of the community in which we serve.

a. Noah initiative, including Care Centre

With little information about COVID-19 available in Burundi at the outset of the pandemic, we produced our own comprehensive training materials, in consultation with a medical professional familiar with the African context.

The materials we produced for the team to use in Burundi included topics such as:

What it COVID? How does it spread? How can we help prevent it spreading? Key symptoms What to do if you suspect you have it Advice for self-care if you get COVID Caring for others with COVID in the home setting.

These notes were first used to train and inform the team. The materials were than translated by the team and the information was then passed on through the community through a network of key leaders we established, which we called the ‘Noah network’, based on Noah in the Bible who was used by God to keep his family safe.

The 30 key men and women selected to be part of this Noah network were tasked with becoming points of contact and were each assigned 5–10 families living close to them, who they were responsible for keeping in touch with. They could then contact the team in the event of assistance being needed. It was unknown at that time whether there would be some sort of lockdown or restriction of movement and there was a lot of panic. It was important that the team could maintain contact with the community (few of whom have phones) and so each Noah was provided with a basic mobile phone for use in response to COVID-related issues or needs.

Each Noah was also asked to attend training sessions going through the materials, to ensurethey had a good understanding. Handwashing was taught and practised and, where possible, practical demonstrations of the training were used to help convey the information.

Each Noah was then asked to pass on the information to the families assigned to them. As 80% of the community we work with are illiterate, this had to be done verbally, but with the Noahs (who are literate) using the notes to ensureaccuracy of the information they were passing on. By doing this, all families were informed and knew what to do in the event of problems, illness, or a lockdown.

The Noah initiative is still in place and training was repeated when a fresh wave of covid hit Burundi earlier this year.

b. Care Centre

A Care Centre, which was also set up by the team to enablepeople to self-isolate if they were experiencing symptoms and were unable to be helped by the government continues to be available.

None of the families HFTG supports would have been able to isolate in their homes as their living conditions are too cramped, so there was a need for people to have somewhere they could go if they developed symptoms. The centre is equipped with everything a person would need while staying there, to try and minimise the spread.

The Care Centre is not only a place where someone can isolate but was also a place where infected people can be cared for by a family member or designated carer.

The rent for the building, which is divided to accommodate 3 people in separate rooms, plus a separate space for a carer to stay in, in addition to all the considerable equipment provided, has been funded by HFTG. Rooms have been equipped with items such as: beds, bedding and mosquito nets; food and cooking equipment; basic medical supplies such as paracetamol, thermometer; sanitiser and disinfectant; water barrels and separate buckets for washing and cleaning.

Training materials have been revised and updated as further information has become available about COVID. Training sessions have been repeated when cases began to increase in Burundi and training was also passed on to all FfF trainees for maximum impact.

6. Website

During this year we have re-branded ourselves and had a new website built, which has now been launched with new content and a video, to help us communicate more effectively with our supporters.

Conclusion

Hope for Tomorrow Global’s activities are playing a vital role in supporting 207 families who have been in crisis. Gradually their circumstances are improving, although they remain in poverty, and the ongoing support they receive remains much needed.

There is, however, a great sense of hope and families can now see that the way for them to sustain themselves through FfF is completely possible once they have a Pfumvudza sized plot of land. This year they have moved from farming collectively to taking personal responsibility for half a Pfumvudza sized plot. They have harvested and stored their first maize crops, followed by planting their first bean crop. After the years of training and collectively planting and harvesting, this has brought great joy and hope and a change of atmosphere within the community.

News is spreading and wider interest in training in FfF is increasing. Training is expanding to the wider community and provinces of Burundi, made possible by the rental of the Eden Centre.

It has been heartening to see those who are among the poorest of the poor being treated with dignity and respect as those in influential positions begin to recognise the value of FfF and how it has the potential to not only benefit the families we are working with, but thousands of others throughout the nation too.

We remain committed to seeing poverty alleviated and hunger eradicated and will continue to serve and support those in crisis while working with them and others towards long-term, sustainable solutions and, in particular, to help Burundi feed itself.

Plans for the coming year

The key objectives to be addressed during the coming year are:

(i) The relief and prevention of poverty

(ii) The relief of financial need, hardship and suffering among victims of disasters, whether this be natural disasters or other causes

(iii) Saving lives and advancing health

(iv) Advancing education by enabling access to schooling, training, and further education

In the year ahead we intend to continue in our efforts to support those in crisis, to empower the poor, the marginalised and disadvantaged, and to relieve poverty and advance health and education in the following ways:

Farming & Food Security

Our main focus will continue to be the ongoing empowering of Burundians, by teaching them Foundations for Farming (FfF). For almost 40 years now, this method of farming has been implemented in many African nations, (as well as non-African nations) and results in yields which are on average 10 times more than the yields of crops grown using conventional farming methods.

When implemented faithfully, farmers are able to feed their families and gain an income from surplus crops, all on a far smaller plot of land than would be needed when conventional farming methods are used. This is a major step in lifting them out of poverty. Not only does it provide food and an income but is far less time consuming than conventional farming as small plots of land are used. This saving of time and energy means it’s possible for farmers to search for other work or start other income-generating activities.

In Burundi, to date, the farmers we have enabled to be trained have been getting yields which are averagely 6 times the national average. However, if the same land is used year on year, because FfF improves the soil quality rather than degrading it, yields increase. This past year yields have sometimes reached over 7 times the national average. We aim to see even further increases in the year ahead by seeking to help families in poverty have access to farmland by renting and purchasing further land for them to use on a longer-term basis.

Specifically, we are eager to continue to help enable each of those we have been training and their families have access to a plot of land 16m x 39m for farming. This is known as a Pfumvudza plot and is the size needed to sustain a family of 6 for a year with maize when implementing FfF. This can be managed in just one day a week.

This year we will be allocating 30 – 40 Pfumvudza plots on a piece of land we purchased this past year. These plots will be loaned on a long-term basis to families who have already demonstrated that they can faithfully implement FfF on ½ a Pfumvudza. This is the next step in them sustaining themselves by growing their own food; maize in the first season which should last a whole year and beans in the second season, which they sell and so provides them with an income. It’s a key step in lifting families from poverty.

On the land mentioned above, we are already in the process of developing demonstration plots and a new training site to serve the poor in this new community. The first training for local people will take place in September.

Following further interest in Foundations for Farming from across the nation we will continue to offer training to those from across Burundi at our main training base.

Page 15

HOPE FOR TOMORROW GLOBAL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

We will be offering training in our FfF training centre and plan to host at least 3 residential training weeks, each covering the 12 basic lessons of Foundation for Farming. This will enableparticipants to know enough to begin to implement Foundations for Farming in their own areas, with follow up from our trainers.

This support and follow up is known as ‘shepherding’ and is critical in ensuring that FfF is implemented well, with the key principles being fully adhered to, ensuring high standards are maintained. The resulting increased yields are critical in feeding the hungry and in alleviating poverty.

We will continue to receive visitors to see our demonstration plots and training sites and will then invite them for introductory workshops in Foundations for Farming, which we host regularly. These explain what’s possible and attendees can then sign up to be trained, should they choose to do so.

The FfF team in Burundi is now officially recognised by the FfF Global Team in Zimbabwe, and they have been working with us to establish an official training base in Burundi. This is already starting to serve the nation in becoming a place where Burundians can come and learn FfF, in a training facility accredited by those who first pioneered it.

Now that we have become an accredited training base for teaching Foundations for Farming, we are aiming to become an official ‘Stewardship Centre’, which means we will also offer training in ‘Foundations for Family’ and ‘Foundations for Finance’.

This year, the team supported by HFTG will be trained in these new elements and this training will then be passed onto 30 families at a time, initially in the communities where we have existing relationships.

We will continue to support the FfF ‘Champion’ Trainers (those who are fully qualified) so that they can continue running training sessions for new trainers, with the aim of enabling further expansion.

We plan to continue to identify those who have the potential to train others from within the groups of trainees and will offer them the option of becoming a trainer in due course.

Crisis Support

We aim to continue to support families in crisis in the communities we are working in with food, shelter, and medical assistance, as and when needed.

We will continue to work closely with the leaders in the communities we are working in to find appropriate means by which people can sustain themselves and by which poverty can be alleviated. We remain eager that they take a lead in these things wherever possible and that we play a supporting role, as appropriate.

Health and Nutrition

We plan to maintain the provision of milk to 247 children at risk of malnutrition in the Carama community where families are displaced and living in squalor. This milk provides a valuable daily source of nutrition. Further children may be added to the current list if funds allow.

We remain eager to enlist the help and advice of health care professionals who can advise us in accurately identifying and supporting babies and children who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.

We plan to continue monitoring the health and wellbeing of the children we work with, so that those of particular concern can be identified and can receive the most appropriate support, by weighing and measuring each child weekly and recording the data on growth percentile charts.

HOPE FOR TOMORROW GLOBAL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

We plan to train up new people to join the community team, so that this service can enablemore vulnerable children to be identified and helped.

We aim to continue to provide funds for medical care to those who need it but are unable to afford it, through consultation with community leaders and established relationships with local clinics.

Response to Covid-19

We will continue to support the Noah Initiative, run by our partner, City Gate Church, which has trained people in how to recognise, treat and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the communities of Carama and Gatunguru.

The Noah Initiative also includes a ‘Care Centre’; a place where infected people can be cared for by a family member. We aim to continue to support this for as long as the risk of COVID-19 remains.

We intend to maintain the provision of soap and handwashing buckets to vulnerable families who cannot afford them, in order to minimise the risk of contracting COVID-19.

Education

We plan to continue assisting families in crisis by providing funding for school uniforms, school bags and kits, and school fees, where relevant, so that children can access education.

In September 2022, our aim is to enable the same 327 children who attended school last year as a result of our support to attend again this coming year.

We also hope to offer the same support to younger children in the families we support who will reach school-age in September.

We plan to continue to support City Gate Church’s ‘education team’. They are responsible for promoting the value of education within the community by working with 10 influential families. These influential people work with parents and encourage them to take an interest in their child’s education, to look at their schoolwork regularly, and to help with homework, as well as checking that the uniform and school kit are well cared for.

The hope is that this ongoing work will continue to help parents and children alike to make the most of the opportunity their children are being given to receive an education.

Kingdom Care

We intend to keep offering the Kingdom Care drop-in service within the community so that community members have a safe place where they can come to seek advice, practical support, and where they can talk about concerns and issues, including sexual assault and domestic violence.

We would like to support City Gate Church in training more people to join this team and make it available more than once a week, so that more people can have access to it.

Additionally, we would like to be able to offer more specialised help, including counselling, and are on the look-out for appropriate in county training opportunities for the ‘Community and Kingdom Care’ team.

Rebuild and Restore

This new initiative aims to enablethe families we have already been supporting, who’ve had land and homes taken from them in the past, be able to rebuild their lives.

Our hope is that each family will once again have a small plot of land, the size needed for a small, adequate, safe home where they can live undisturbed, and raise their children.

There are almost 200 families who need assistance to rebuild and restore their lives through having a home again and so our plan is to raise funds so that each of these can have land to build on, close by to farming land.

These families have already learned Foundations for Farming and so have the skills to sustain themselves and gain a small income, but the game-changer in terms of them being lifted out of poverty will be having a place to live, which is safe and secure and from which they can’t be evicted or where rent prices are raised beyond what they can afford.

Phase 1- This Coming Year

The first phase of Rebuild and Restore is to purchase land for 30 families to have a building plot in the same area where HFTG has already purchased land for farming.

Families will first need to want to re-locate to this new area, which is close by the place they have been living in recent years. (Land is available here at a cheaper price as it’s further from the city.) Families will initially live in rented accommodation so that they can farm their Pfumvudza plots easily and so be on the way to feeding their families at harvest time.

Land will be purchased by HFTG, but in the name of City Gate Church, our partner on the ground, and will then be transferred to individual families in time, on the condition that they remain faithful with the farming and are willing to be trained by the team, going through the ‘Foundations for Family’ and ‘Foundations for Finance’ training mentioned above.

These additional trainings have a proven track record in Zimbabwe and elsewhereof bringing about lasting change within a community. This is partly due to the fact that many families in the same area undergo the training together and so can support one another in implementing it.

For the families we support, we believe that these elements are vital, alongside the farming, to ensure that there is long-term sustainable change. For those who have been entrenched in poverty and suffered oppression and displacement, understanding how to function as a family and handle money once they start to have an income is so important. These training elements together offer a holistic approach and will help lift up the families involved, as well as impacting the wider community.

Part of this initiative also involves integrating the families we have been supporting in recent years with those in the new community where we have the farming land, and are now looking to purchase land for the homes. This integration will be aided by offering training to local people on the new training site we are developing.

The 30 families who are being offered the opportunity to re-locate will be encouraged to support the new trainees as they learn and implement the farming for the first time.

Our desire is to serve this new community as well as those we already work with. We already have trainers working there and they are actively and intentionally building relationships with local people and the local authorities, as they work on our demonstration plots and Pfumvudzas several times a week.

Page 18

HOPE FOR TOMORROW GLOBAL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

A further aspect of Phase 1 of Rebuild and Restore is to build one home initially, which will enable us to ensure we fully understand what the processes and costs are, and that we have good architects and builders we trust, before we embark on any further building.

Further plots of land will be purchased as funding allows so that all qualifying families have a plot upon which they can build in time.

Phase 2

Phase 2 will be focussed on helping families to build homes on the land. In the meantime, until this is possible, purchased land will be used for farming temporarily, so that it’s not left empty and can be used to help supply families with additional food and an income.

The training and discipleship of families in the area of farming, family and finance will continue throughout.

Increasing our Support Network and Donor Base

We continue to look for ways in which we can raise our profile and increase our donor base and so increase the funds needed for both our existing and planned future initiatives.

A new website has already been designed and was launched recently, with phase 2 of the development taking place this year.

With Covid restrictions in the UK having been lifted, we intend to finally launch the previously planned Fundraising Team. A team leader has already been identified for this.

Appointment of an Operations Manager

Since the end of the year we have received a grant of £25,000 to help employ a part-time Operations manager and somone has been employed in this role since August 2022. As well as working with the Trustees and helping with the running and management of the UK-based operations of the charity, the Operations Manager is also assisting with fund-raising and raising our profile and seeking to widen our donor base.

We trust that this important appointment will help us grow and develop as a charity and enable us to help lift more people out of poverty and to bring hope across the nation of Burundi.

Description of restricted funds

Car Costs:

This fund is used to hold funds related to thevehicleused in Burundi. During 2021-22 this included funds given to allow for thereplacement ofthe vehicle in use as well as ongoing running costs. This vehicle is a vital support to every area of the activities, whether it be transporting tools and seeds or moving the team around to distribute food and milk.

Carama Support:

Carama is thenameofthecommunity whereover 200 families live, who havebeen oppressed and displaced for many years. Thefamilies wereliving in a make-shift camp which has now been destroyed. They are homeless and are unable to sustain themselves at the current time.

COVID Relief Fund:

We have been training the those we are working within covid prevention and care (eg. how to recognise covid symptoms and minimise risk of catching, how to care for someone who contracts is as safely as possibleetc.) Also we providethe necessary means ofpreventing covid to thosein poverty in our community such as masks, buckets and soap for handwashing etc. Wehavealso set up a small 'carecentre'and have kitted it out with theappropriateequipment, for useby thosewith areworking with thosewho arein poverty and who may get covid and have no means ofisolating themselves due to their poor living conditions.

Crisis Funding:

This is additional crisis support which may be in the form of food, milk for children, clothing, medical care and other needs. It may also include start up funds to help a family start up a small business or providing equipment to allow a family to earn an income and alleviate poverty.

Education:

This fund provides vulnerable children with school uniforms and school materials so that they can access education. It is used for children whose families cannot afford these items. It is also used towards school fees.

Description of restricted funds continued

Esperance:

Esperance is displaced and the head of her family. She has 8 children and is homeless. Income to this fund comes from a family who donate specifically to support Esperance and her children. The money is used to provide food for the family, milk for the children, clothing and other household items. It is also used to provide school uniforms and equipment so that the children can access education.

Famine Relief in Burundi

This fund was created from donations received to help those suffering from the famine in Burundi.

Farming in Burundi:

Also termed 'Foundations for Farming', this funds theteaching ofthe Foundations for Farming program begun in Zimbabwe. This farming method produces hugely increased yields, on average 10 times greater than conventional farming methods. HFTG supports this as a means to help families feed themselves and make an income from their excess crops so lifting them out of poverty.

Feed a Family:

Introduced during 2019-2020 this was a direct appeal to support food for the communities that HFTG is working with.

Fund a Farmer:

These funds support individuals who are undertaking the Foundations for Farming training. Funds are used both for personal support for the trainees and also to buy the equipment that they each need.

Health

We are providing assistance by way of paying or contributing towards medical fees for those in the community we are working with, who arein extremepoverty and who requiremedical careand/or treatment which they can’t afford. We havealso begun monitoring ofthe health of over 200 vulnerable children to record their weight, height and general development on a regular basis, so that we can identify those who are in need of additional nutritional support due to malnourishment, or those who need to be referred to seek the advice of a medical professional as they are failing to thrive. We have trained a small team to carry out this regular service, which is provided to the families we areworking with who arein poverty, and support the team leader financially to carry out this important initiative.

Milk (for children):

This fund is used to provide milk daily to vulnerable children who are undernourished or at risk of malnutrition. Currently this is mainly in our Carama community.

New Milk Business Building:

Thesefunds havebeen given to help towards thecost of building a facility for processing milk and providing it for thechildren and families that are supported by HFTG, and potentially bean incomestream for further community works. Dueto thesituation in Burundi at this timewe havebeen unable to progress further with this initiative at the moment. As this is not now taking place the donor gave permission for the funds to beused elsewhere and the balance on this fund has been transferred to unrestricted funds.

Sport 4 Transformation:

This is an initiative encouraging young people in the Carama community to participate in fitness sessions and football training. The aim is to give young people a positive focus and adult role models to help them build relationships and make wise choices for their future.

Time 4 Change:
