Kilimanjaro Africa Water Fund Registered number: NIC101951 Trustees' Report

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 5 April 2023.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with Kilimanjaro Africa Water Fund's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and 'Account and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to the charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).

Objectives and activities

Kilimanjaro Africa Water Fund is a charitable organisation comprised of a small group of people, that each year make representation to some of the most remote, impoverished parts of Tanzania in East Africa. The mission is to provide running water. Access to this most basic need is the first step out of poverty. On our missions, the team of volunteers have drilled various wells to retrieve clean accessible water. Providing this creates both a foundation on which communities can grow and an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. With the provision of running water over the years the charity has helped build medical centres, health clinics, schools and workshops in extremely rural areas fo Tanzania.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities Kilimanjaro Africa Water Fund should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Every year prior to travelling to the mission in East Africa, committee members and advisors carefully plan any construction and prepare the materials for the completion of each individual project. Essential materials and resources to aid the various projects on the mission are shipped to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania and delivered to the mission. This year, in November 2022, a group of volunteers visited the mission to deliver projects. The group carried out the repair and renewal of solar panels across a range of health facilites, prepared the opening of dental facilities, organised material for the Kindergarten and small trade school as well as carrying out plumbing repairs of previously drilled wells and water systems.

Financial Review

At the backdrop of all our projects is a fundamental component - funding. To gather essential materials for all our projects, intensive fundraising is crucial. The Charity held a Bingo night on the 27th December 2022 and various donated prizes were balloted. In addition, the charity entered a team of volunteers into a relay team in the 'Mash Direct' Belfast City Marathon held in May 2022. The volunteers were sponsored to run on behalf of Kilimanjaro Africa Water Project.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
