KIDS OF MALAWI UK – ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Our second year of operation saw us successfully starting to deliver on our mission. Despite ongoing COVID set ups, our first grant programme went live and the summer saw us finally get our THET Mother & Child grant with some great feedback. While Omnicron closed the year with further uncertainty, we’re looking forward to 2022 as a year where we will be able to help more and more children in Malawi.

A) Overview

Kids of Malawi aims to improve the health of children in Malawi through staffing, training, supply provision and research at Malawian Health Care Centres. The specific activities that the charity would undertake are:

In 2021, we started delivering our first grant programme to healthcare organisations and were about to deploy our THET Mother & Child grant focused on training.

B) Charitable activities

Kids of Malawi UK - Grant programme

In 2020, the trustees evaluated the options for our first grant programme and concluded on supporting nursing provision in Malawi.

The focus of the first grant programme will be a Healthcare Service Grant (as set out in the KOM UK Operating Manual). Currently one nurse can be

responsible for up to 60 sick children in Malawian hospitals. In such circumstances it is barely possible to give routine drugs. Routine observations and nursing care which are essential to improved care are usually not done. This often results in serious consequences. These grants will provide funding for additional nursing staff, medical staff, anaesthesia staff, or other support staff needed to improve quality of care.

Our first grant sponsored Kenedy [Bip can you add some lines on what Kenedy dd and some stats too please].

THET Mother and Child Grant

In March 2020, Kids of Malawi UK applied and were successful in an application to THET’s Africa Mother and Child Grants Programme which is supported by the Johnson and Johnson Foundation. This grant allows us to deliver Paediatric Anaesthesia training for Anaesthetic Clinical Officers (ACOs) at Kamuzu Central Hospital, Malawi and is worth around £40k. The programme has been designed with Kijabe Hospital in Keyna who will provide onsite training for these ACOs.

Through the course of 2020/21, THET and Johnson and Johnson Foundation have shown amazing flexibility on the grant programme as COVID impacted our ability to (i) send UK volunteers to Malawi to provide training for ACOs and (ii) work with Kijabe Hospital.

We were eventually able to start the grant programme in June with Dr Jonty Dean becoming our first volunteer to visit Kamazu Central Hospital to help train ACOs. Jonty published an interesting blog on his time in Malawi on our website (available here). Some key stats from his session in Lilongwe:

We have another volunteer going out early in 2022 with several other activities planned for the year.

D) Overall financial position

2

Our financial year runs from Apr 2020 – Mar 2021 and our annual return to the Charity Commission relates to this period. For our financial year 2020/21, our closing balance was approximately £10k. This reflects a period where we made our first grant but, otherwise, maintained a steady approach to fundraising and expenditure as much of the year was impacted by COVID19.

Income

For the year so far, our income has come from two sources:

In line with Charity Commission guidance, we do not propose auditing or getting independent verification of this year’s financial accounts.

Other expenditure

Outside our grant making activity, our only expenses related to maintenance of the website.

Full year 2021

After our financial year closed in April 2021, we started the THET Mother & Child grant programme and received income related to this in the summer. We will report on this income and expenditure related to the THET grant in the 2022 annual report.

KIDS OF MALAWI UK

ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND RETURN FY2021

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

I would make one recommendation and that is to start claiming Gift Aid, this could boost your income by 25% on income from any UK income tax payer.

Kind regards,

Lenka Ellman
