By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Naturally Africa Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Naturally Africa Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Naturally Africa Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

HOME-BASED HEALTHCARE PROVISION

Most Malawians have very limited or no access to health care. Our project helps to provide home-based healthcare; both primary and palliative care to those in need living in rural communities.

Vital dressings and bandages for the wound care clinic Fully stocked kit box monthly for the 3 home-based care groups Government training for a new health-care team

Background

Healthcare in Malawi and its limited resources are inadequate to cope with the population and the devastating frequency of high infant mortality and disease, especially HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. The World Health Organization reported that Malawi’s health system ranks number 185 out of 190 and limited access to health services in Malawi affects a huge proportion of Malawians. Less than half the population of Malawi live within a 5km radius of any kind of health facility and the cost of transport to the closest health centre or hospital is often inhibitive.

This programme started in 2012 in Nkope, Matayo, Nkhudzi and Nkugwi villages under Chiwalo catchment area; with 40 volunteers who have now completed the Government training and are fully qualified to provide vital health-care within their communities. We are now working with three further groups of home based care volunteers, comprising of 30 members, who are about to undergo the Government course. Each group meets twice a week for a year to cover the home based care curriculum. They are provided with medical supplies for their kit boxes each month to facilitate basic healthcare.

How the Home-based Healthcare project helps

Naturally Africa Foundation donations fund the provision of primary and palliative care to chronically ill patients, their families and the wider community. The healthcare volunteers that this project helps to train provide emotional support, educate rural communities about health-related issues and help with wound dressing. The skills that the volunteers gain from the daily wound care service enables them to provide basic first aid that is otherwise unavailable.

The Foundation provides training to the home-based care teams and supports them to continue onto the government training scheme, which costs around £3,000 for each course. Four villages in Malawi now benefit from having a qualified home-based care group from the home-based care scheme and three more are aligned to do so. The project has funded a mobile nurse who travels to each of the villages to provide vital support alongside the trained team.

This is an essential service provided to communities around Chiwalo catchment area.
