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.
PAGE 3PAGE 3
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.

Between April 2024 to March 2025, 1,264 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.

What has been happening so far...
We are happy to report that 2024/2025 was very exciting. We have mainly focused on the mother & Child unit and Dispensary.
We have had a significant increase on, pregnant women appointments, baby deliveries, children’s appointments and vaccinations.
Our mobile vaccination program has been a success. We were able to reach out to those who could not otherwise come to the unit.
Our malaria eradication program continues to be a very efficient, helping the local have a better quality of life.

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 1,264 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 389 patients screened, only 4 tested positive. This is due to our commitment to educating the local community on how to take practical steps to prevent malaria from spreading.

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 2024 and March 2025 was £60,204 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 cannot believe that it has been eight years since the beginning of the project in Kikavu. How time flies!
During this time The Kikaku project had several key achievements, including successful completion of major milestones, reducing the high rates of maternal and infant deaths in the area, the construction of the Mother & Child Medical Unity, delivering thousands of school meals to make sure that no children would go hungry, treating and educating hundreds of children with dental problems and reducing high number of malaria contamination through our health and social programs.
All of these were just possible due to team collaboration, the development of innovative solutions and positive feedback and financial support from stakeholders.
PAGE 11
These accomplishments have likely paved the way for the project to become sustainable, which has always been the aim of the project to start with. We are so happy that the team in Kikavu, under the leadership of Dr. Temu August worked very hard for the project to come to this stage.
The trustees feel that it is now time for the charity Health Amplifier to look for future projects and initiatives. Therefore, the trustees decided that we will be ceasing our financial support to the Kikavu project from February 2025.
We would like to thank you for all your support and we will keep you updated what these new adventures will be.
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 2024/2025, 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 £60,204 to fight poor health issues and poverty in Kikavu, Tanzania and still close the 2024/2025 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.
