## Objectives and Activities 

Malawi Student Foundation was established to provide scholarships and grants to students at universities in Malawi. These are students who are either in danger of dropping out of university because of financial difficulties or are unable to attend university in the first place, though selected, because of poverty. The Foundation also provides limited assistance to other students are high school level. 

We confirm that the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Foundation’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting scholarship policy for the period. 

## Achievements and Performance 

We are pleased that during the reporting period to 31 December 2021, Malawi Student Foundation provided scholarships to 5 students at various university bodies in Malawi covering university fees, laptops and monthly stipends as follows: 

- 2 students at Malawi College of Medicine 

- 1 student at Mzuzu University 

- 1 student at Malawi Polytechnic 

- 1 student at Chancellor College 

We are further pleased to report that two students (Moses Kabanga and Christopher Chikazunga) successfully completed their degrees in medicine during this period and became the first in their families to obtain a university education and degree. The two new doctors are now working in government hospitals in Malawi. 

This brings the total of successful university students on our programme to five. None of our students dropped out of college during this period. The Foundation is satisfying its objectives, but more effort is required to support students achieve their potential. 

## Financial Review 

The Foundation’s work is entirely reliant on donations. For this reporting period the Foundation raised a total of £6,200 from unrestricted donations. In order to maintain and continue all of our project activities at a good level, the Foundation needs to raise at least £2,000 annually (new level). 

We are pleased to report that, for the next reporting period, funds have already been pledged to cover the minimum annual fund. We are therefore confident that the organisation will carry out its full functions during the next reporting period. 

It is the policy of the Foundation that unrestricted funds be maintained, wherever possible, at a level of at least £500. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that the Foundation key basic activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. At the

year end the Foundation held unrestricted funds of £757. 

In 2022 we will continue to seek to secure further funding from private donations, so that the Foundation can continue to provide a respectable number of scholarships in Malawi and therefore maintain its key project activities.
