| Summar y of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The Kenyan trustees revised the operating costs to £512 per month. In the financial year ending 31st December 2024 TMC received a total of £ 17,543.86 from Tumaini UK. The construction of accommodation quarters for future volunteers stalled due to a shortage of funds. The regular expenditure was incurred towards the salaries of staff - a nurse, lab tech, caretaker. Our volunteer administrator has continued to offer sacrificial support to our operations. Whenever possible, we have continued to model our ministry on generosity . We reopened the centre from 1stMarch 2024 after an eight-month closure. During this time, we reflected on the lessons learnt from our operations earlier on. From this, we saw the need to adjust treatment charges to adequately meet the cost of operations. An increase in the charges did not affect the number of clients in any way. Indeed, the numbers have gradually increased. We hosted two medical camps, one in July and another in December with each attracting at least 150 patients. As this was done in consultation with the MOH of the sub-county hospital, we were able to easily refer patients for further. In June, we hosted a one day seminar for 35 local women in conjunction with the ministries of gender and agriculture called ‘Kilimo kisasa’ (modern agriculture). Those attending were appreciative of the services offered by Tumaini. In November in conjunction with Action Aid and a local CBO ‘Centre of Hope’ we hosted a one day seminar for 80 children aged 10-15. The topics discussed included self-awareness, menstrual health and children’s right. We continue to reach out to the community, needy families in the spirit of Tumaini to develop TMC to a community hub offering health, social and pastoral services. The most common ailments we continue to treat are respiratory, gastrointestinal infections, minor injuries and also management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension and musculoskeletal conditions. |
