## **Objectives and activities** 

|**Objectives and activities**||
|---|---|
|**Charitable purposes**<br>**Summary of the main activities**<br>**in relation to these objects**|To protect and improve the health of people living in rural Ghana by<br>promoting, funding, managing and evaluating health-related projects,<br>either itself, or in partnership or association with relevant local<br>organisations, or by enabling relevant local organisations to do so on its<br>behalf.|
||All activities are carried out for and in the Talensi District, Upper East<br>Region. Strong relationships have been developed with key local<br>community and health service leaders. Their main priorities for improving<br>health service delivery and population health have formed the basis for<br>our overall strategy. In 2016-17, we renovated health facilities, purchased<br>a motorbike for community nurses, paid for an in-service training<br>programme for health staff and raised the funds required; in 2017-18, we<br>raised funds to begin building a small community maternity centre; in<br>2018-19, we finished the building and established the service; in 2019-20,<br>we renovated and upgraded two health facilities, and built a website<br>(drnanaghana.com). Our strategy was reviewed and revised in early 2020<br>to ensure it remained responsive to emerging needs including the impact<br>of the pandemic.|

## **Achievements and performance** 

|**Summary of the main achievements of**<br>**the charity during the financial period**|1.<br>A proposal to train around 60 midwives and community nurses in new<br>baby care, provide maternity equipment and evaluate the impact was<br>submitted in April to the Small Charity Challenge Fund of the UK<br>Department for International Development but was unsuccessful.<br>2.<br>The proposal was adapted and submitted to a small Scottish Trust<br>but was also unsuccessful.<br>3.<br>We funded a project to install handwashing facilities in all 72<br>communities of Talensi District, to train residents in their construction,<br>use and maintenance and monitor the impact. This was implemented<br>on 30 June-3 July and its impact monitored through visits in<br>September and November, with widely positive outcomes.<br>4.<br>In September, we rewired a health clinic with unsafe wiring. This<br>enabled an autoclave (steriliser) to be used for the first time.<br>5.<br>In November, we purchased three motorbikes for use by community<br>nurses in remote areas.  Dr Nana’s local coordinator  found that the<br>motorbikes had enabled the nurses to carry out home visits in remote<br>areas, transport pregnant or sick people to health care facilities and<br>transport vaccines and medicines, none of which was previously<br>possible. Community leaders expressed their gratitude for the bikes<br>and their determination to maintain them in good condition.|

||Day-to-day operation of the charity was largely carried out by the<br>CEO/Secretary at no charge.<br>Trustees making visits to Ghana on Dr Nana’s behalf may be eligible for<br>refund of their travel expenses on production of valid receipts. During the<br>year, no visits were made due to the pandemic.|

2020-21 Dr Nana OSCR Accounts - Final AAY (1).xlsxAdditional notes (3) 

December 2007 



## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DR NANA GRUER HEALTH INITIATIVE GHANA** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2021, which is set out on page 1. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of Page 21 OSCR I Independent Examination: A Guide for Charity Trustees the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 

have not been met, or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
