Report of the trustees for the year ending 31[st] March 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of Health Amplifier for the year ending 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ issued in March 2005.

Objectives Activities &
The purpose of the charity is...
“The relief of sickness and preservation of health, in particular, but not limited to, persons in extreme poverty.”
“And the relief and/or prevention of poverty in the community in such ways as the Charity Trustees may from time to time decide.”
Before Health Amplifier was established, the community of Kikavu, Tanzania had no access to a local health clinic so had to travel for many miles to receive healthcare, consequently disease and malnutrition were high.
Additionally, with little education about the importance of good hygiene, environmental and personal sanitation was poor with waterborne diseases occurring frequently. We are working to educate and support the community in overcoming the issues of poor healthcare, malnutrition, malaria, disease and dental hygiene.
As part of our programme to fight poverty in Kikavu and its surrounding villages, the charity funds the salary of local health professionals working in the Kikavu dispensary and community projects which help the charity to achieve its objectives and ensures sustainability.
The charity carries out its projects through partnership with other institutions but most specifically with the Catholic Diocese of Moshi – Korongoni Parish. The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and recognise that it is their responsibility to ensure that the benefits offered have a positive impact in Kikavu and the surrounding area.

The remainder of this report illustrates the activities undertaken to support the public benefit. Health Amplifier, although new, has had a great year since its start in June of 2016. The charity is now running in partnership with Catholic Diocese of Moshi with seven different projects in the Kikavu village, benefiting more than 10,000 residents in the area.

Achievement Performance &
Clinical Care
Between April 2022 to March 2023, 2,734 patients have been treated at the Kikavu clinic, where upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, gastro-intestinal diseases, skin diseases together with hypertension and diabetes type II are the most common diseases in the region. During the past year the cases of malaria have decreased drastically, having few cases during raining season.
In total we have had 2,734 patients attending our clinic this year, which is an average of 228 patients a month.

What has been happening so far...
This year continues to be an exciting year for the project and the team alike. We have had an increase in the number of patients we see compared to last year. Since we have been registered with the government, it is really helping us in terms of the viability of resources.
As a government-registered clinic, the work team constantly receives visits and training from members of the Ministry of Health.
In one of the most recent health campaigns, we have been able to deliver vitamin A to children through the training of our staff, which includes how to fill out new patient registration forms and update information on health campaigns and new protocols.

Kikavu Dispensary
Providing Excellence in Care
This year, we are pleased to let you know that the number of patients may be higher compared to the year before.
As the quality of our services increases, more people are attending our clinic and benefiting from our services.
This year, we are excited to announce that 2734 patients have been treated for various health conditions, with upper respiratory infections being the main one.
We have also had a considerable decrease in the number of malaria cases. Out of the 504 patients screened, only 12 tested positive. This is due to our commitment to educating the local community on how to take practical steps to prevent malaria from spreading.

The Mother & Child Medical Unit
The mother & child clinic has been equipped with new furniture to provide greater comfort to patients, and staff alike.
With the mother & child department fully operational since the end of November, the clinic has already received its first patients.
We are pleased to share that this year we have had the pleasure to see 204 pregnant women and help deliver 5 babies. assist them with several types of services, including mother and baby health checks.
The mother and child care unit has become an essential hub for the health of mothers and their children.
This year alone, we have vaccinated 407 children, monitored their weight and height, and given them vitamin A and deworming pills for 1,064.
This is all possible because of the commitment of our staff to make the Kikavu area a healthier place to live and the generosity of our donors.

Dental Treatment Project
The oral health programme at the school continues to progress on a regular basis.
It has been 8 years since we carried out dental treatments with children at the school. The figure of the dentist and the representation linked to pain are no longer part of the children’s ideas. They know that it is possible to cure their teeth without pain.
Every year, new students start school, and as part of the approach prior to dental treatment, they are given a talk about oral health and tooth brushing technique. Every year, the treatment begins with the older students so that the little ones lose their fear. Fear turns into curiosity and later into a desire to have their teeth cleaned and treated.
We are happy to let you know that this year, our dentist, Sofia, has been able to treat 469 children and provide 1,838 cavity fillings and sealants. Thank you again for all your support.

Policy on Grant Making
The charity has established a grant making policy to achieve its objectives to the public benefit. The trustees apply the funds of the charity at their discretion and in accordance with the charitable purposes and objectives of the charity. The trustees will consider any requests or known situations that are eligible for consideration.
-
a. Each request or situation will be considered on its own merits. Where situations have been previously considered (whether successful or not) any due diligence undertaken to reach an earlier decision will be made available to the trustees.
-
b. The trustees will carry out sufficient due diligence to ensure that the request or situation meets both the charitable purposes, and the priorities for support set out in its policy.
-
c. The trustees are happy to work in partnership with other grant making bodies where funding of an entire project is beyond the scope of any single organisation. This includes, but is not limited to, national and international relief operations in the wake of natural disasters.
At the moment, the main beneficiary of our grants is the Kikavu Dispensary in Tanzania. The total amount of funds awarded to the Dispensary between April 2022 and March 2023 was £61,765 which was essential for the running of the Dispensary and all the projects associated to it.
All the grants awarded are closely monitored by the trustees and by our onsite project manager to make sure that they reflect the charity’s objectives and thereby advance public benefits.
Plans for the Future
We are so thankful for all sponsors that made possible the finishing of the specialist diabetes care and a mother & child unit. This centre is specifically designed to be used for the management and regular monitoring of diabetes, educational healthcare seminars and antenatal.
Our plan now is to concentrate on the training of local staff so the Centre can provide the best health care possible for the mothers and children and postnatal care. Our aim is to give the best healthcare possible to the community of Kikavu and those from further afield. Now that the centre is built, we will be seeking equipment to offer digital retinal photography and an ultrasound machine - which will be particularly important in enabling us to deliver preventative health care to pregnant patients.
PAGE 13
We will also be offering appointments with a podiatrist, nurses and doctors. Dr Julian will be coming to Tanzania to educate and train all members of staff on diabetes, as this is his specialist area. Another area of interest of the charity is ecology.
We are currently in discussions with the local community as to how they could be involved in the preservation, conservation and the protection of the environment and the prudent use of resources. More to come on that.
Financial Review
Although the charity welcomes donations made by the public, the charity’s major source of funding is from grants and donations issued by private companies and other institutions that share the same ethos of the charity. This way we make sure that all the public donations will go to the front line.
We are pleased to report that for the fiscal year of 2022/2023, Health Amplifier invested all of the donations received in the project we run in Kikavu -Tanzania. The charity holds no designated, restricted, investment or endowment funds.
Due to the generosity of our donors we managed to make grants to the total amount of £61,765 to fight poor health issues and poverty in Kikavu, Tanzania and still close the 2022/2023 account with a surplus, which will be invested in the finance of new projects in the next fiscal year.
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to keep the free reserves amounting to approximately three months average expenditure. The trustees believe that this level will be sufficient to respond to our grant beneficiary and have enough money to cover any governance costs.
Since we are a new charity this policy will be reviewed annually as the work of the charity develops.
