November 2021
New object sponsor
Rainer Pastoor, Duisburg, takes over a 50% partial sponsorship in the amount of 2.500,– Euro for the garage, part of the construction phase II.

First volunteer in the service of C.B.R.O.
In mid-November, a Tanzanian student began her service with us as a volunteer, initially until mid-2022. She will be specifically assigned to develop, monitor and promote our infrastructural side projects.

November 2021
Renovation and installation of a new office space for the C.B.R.O.
With the hiring of our accountant, a larger office became necessary and was provided to us by LMH. The renovation was done immediately and also the furnishing with new, functional office furniture.

October 2021
Final talks with the DBHW on the establishment of an eye clinic in Korogwe in the town hall of the city of Duisburg
After a long period of preparatory work, a final meeting was held with the German Aid Society for the Blind (DBHV) between the two boards of directors to discuss the last steps for the realisation of an eye clinic in Korogwe. The still missing commitments of the governmental and ecclesiastical side in Tanzania were discussed as well as a possible cost sharing. ZAC agreed to provide a significant part of the equipment and to finance it partly from its own funds, as the situation in the Tanga region with regard to the widespread disease “cataract” is in urgent need of a counteracting treatment option. Our NGO “C.B.R.O.” will obtain the still missing commitments from the state and the church, so that nothing should stand in the way of the project implementation.

As soon as the eye clinic will officially start its service, the fixed costs will be taken over in full by governmental and church institutions and the purchased equipment will become Tanzanian property. ZAC e.V. (C.B.R.O.) will take over the administration. 

October 2021
New staff member at our NGO “C.B.R.O.
With Helena Mushi (25), C.B.R.O. has defined its first permanent employee. Helena is a trained tax specialist and her main task will be to do the bookkeeping required by the state for NGOs and also to prepare the balance sheets of the past years. In this way, we meet the requirements for the operation of an NGO, which are stipulated by the state. This government requirement also includes the change of the existing fee contract with Ombeni into an employee contract, which will be implemented by the end of the year. This means that ZAC has two employees on the payroll, for whom taxes and social contributions, such as health insurance, are also paid.

October 2021
Second presentation of our project work to Rotarians in Schloßpark
The second Rotary Club in Oberhausen under the leadership of President Dotzauer was also a great success for ZAC e.V.. Altogether, according to the result of the internal talks announced there by Michael Bülhoff, the Rotarians will provide us with 150,000 USD in a sum from regional support packages of the Rotary Clubs, Rotary-International and a donor from Hameln, which will mainly go towards all investments in our vocational training centre. 

September 2021
Project presentation at the Oberhausen Rotarians
At the beginning of September, we were given the opportunity to present our project work to a larger audience in a presence event (with additional live broadcast). We received a promise from the Rotarians about extensive funding for our project.

September 2021
Commissioning of a Tanzanian architect
On the basis of the board’s decision, the trades for the construction of the children’s village will be assigned to a general contractor. For this purpose, we will commission a Tanzanian architect to revise the existing building plans (adaptation to Tanzanian building law) and to search for a suitable building contractor. Before awarding the contract, alternative offers will be examined. At the beginning of September, the first architect contacted received our documents and has already visited the property.

August 2021
Delivery of school furniture to the two local schools
We had a total of 150 desks and 150 chairs produced regionally for the two local schools (Primary and Secondary School), which were handed over to the students at the end of August 2021. The headmasters have committed not to charge parents for the use of the furniture.

August 2021
Charity Golf Tournament “Golfers Help”
For the third time, Kanzlei am Kaiserberg organised this charity golf tournament for the benefit of ZAC e.V., with net proceeds of over 12,000 euros.

ZAC is one of the winners of the Town & Country Foundation Award 2021
For the fourth time, ZAC is named as one of the winners of the Town & Country Foundation Award. The foundation prize is endowed with 1,000 euros.

June 2021
Completion of the “ZAC-Bridge
The road to our construction site is interrupted by a wider creek, which can carry a lot of water during the rainy season. To ensure that our future children’s village can be safely connected to the site and that construction vehicles can also access our plot, we have planned to build a bridge at this point. This was completed in mid-June 2021 with a length of 25 meters, a width of 5 meters and two flow tubes. It is also gladly used by the villagers on their way to fetch wood in the forest.

May 2021
Completion of the “Bridge of Solidarity
To ensure a safe way to school for the children of the Primary and Secondary School, ZAC e.V. had a fixed bridge built over the creek, which can become a danger spot on the way to school during the rainy season.

May 2021
School feedings
The already released funds for the sustainable support of school meals for the two schools in Lutindi will now be used at the beginning of June after the end of the small rainy season with the procurement of seeds, farming equipment and the preparation of the farmland provided by us. Here, the two schools can now grow their own food to supply the students. ZAC is consistently following the path of agroforestry. This approach will also apply later to the children’s village’s own farm.

May 2021
Completion of the sewing program
Last year, thanks to the donation of the Weltladen Duisburg-Rumeln, we purchased a total of 10 sewing machines, renovated a room in the Lutindi Mental Hospital for the purpose of converting it into a sewing room, and had seating and a large cutting table built. In February, we hired a trained tailor to teach the single mothers and patients of the Lutindi Mental Hospital the craft of tailoring. On 04.05.2021 the time had come. The final theoretical and practical examination was due, which in the end all passed with flying colors. Well done ladies. The project will be continued in this form in order to create an opportunity for single mothers to earn additional income and to enable the patients of the LMH to receive occupational therapy. The picture shows a part of the women with their given test result. 

April 2021
Personnel changes on the Executive Board
The co-opted board members Si-yeun-Hammerbacher and Georg F. Terbeck retired from the board as scheduled after their two-year co-opting period had expired. Nico Hoerster, Wuppertal, was co-opted as a new board member for the next two years. He had already been in Lutindi with the first HSBK travel group when he was still a technical student.

February 2021
Bridge of solidarity for a safe way to school 
In February, we were able to complete the “Bridge of Solidarity”, as it was named by the donating MSV fans in reference to the well-known Duisburg bridge structure. This enabled us to defuse a dangerous creek crossing for the schoolchildren, as the creek can swell considerably during the rainy seasons and was only passable by means of loosely laid boards.

January 2021
School furniture donation
ZAC e.V. responds immediately to a call for help from the principal of the newly built Secondary School. There is a shortage of 75 desks and pupils, without which already registered pupils cannot attend classes. In the end, a collection of MSV fans makes it possible to place a production order for the missing school furniture (here is a picture from the Secondary School with identical school furniture). The delivery is expected for May 2021.

In the ensuing discussion, the main focus of the debate was on the conditions under which the planned start of construction in 2021 can be maintained in view of the corona pandemic.
Georg Terbeck, member of the Board of Management and teacher at HSBK Oberhausen, has reservations as to whether it will be possible to fly with the delegation to Tanzania as early as February 2021 due to the pandemic, and whether the responsibility for the accompanying technician students can be borne by the delegation. The clarification of this point is urgent and will be on the agenda at the next board meeting, as the start of the construction work is directly dependent on it.

In connection with the planned start of construction, Thomas Maaßen proposed to prepare a forecast for the costs to be approved for the first construction phase and the first year of operation of the Children’s Village at a special board meeting at the beginning of next year. This should also determine which capital security reserves should remain in the association’s account.

Holger Glücks explained the sense of the infrastructural measures carried out so far for the community of Lutindi, which run parallel to our construction plans. On the one hand, he cited the creation of acceptance among the citizens of Lutindi for the Children’s Village project, because with these programs, ZAC e.V. is an important employer in Lutindi. In addition, ZAC e.V. always remains in contact with potential sponsors and supporters with attractive programs and successes and even achieves monetary surpluses through project-related individual donations.

The consultancy contract with Ombeni Peter Ayo, which ends on 31.12.2020, is to be extended for a further two years with an adjustment to the inflation rate in Tanzania.

The Board of Directors thanked the General Meeting for attending on the occasion of the difficult circumstances.

Annual report fiscal year 2018 (January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2018)

At the center of all activities, and thus the focus for the 2018 financial year, was the founding of a Tanzanian NGO as the basis for all future legal transactions in Tanzania. In particular, for the final contractual arrangement with the MeTL Group on the lease of the building plot in the Usambara Mountains in an area of ​​45,000 m², which would not be possible without an NGO.

January 2018
On 19.01.2018 the ZAC founded the Tanzanian NGO (Non Governmental Organization) in the state ministry of Community Development, Gender and Children as a general requirement for the construction of a children’s village in Tanzania as well as all other legal transactions. The NGO was registered as a “Children Base Reinforcement Organization”, short form “C.B.R.O.” based in Lutindi / Tanga.

February 2018
The ZAC board took part in an open-house of the Hans-Sachs-Berufskolleg (HSBK) in Oberhausen and presented the results of the cooperation with the HSBK to an interested audience, especially those from the working trip of a HSBK delegation Lutindi in November 2017.

February 2018
In February 2018, the future board of our Tanzanian NGO was formed. In the honorary active executive committee were selected:
Zakaria Mnkai (CEO)
Petro G. Makange (Deputy Chairman)
Rogers Shehumu (Member of the Board)
Florence Shemndolwa (Member of the Board)
Peter Ombeni Oyo (Member of the Board) and sole honorary employee in function as Chief-Coordinator of ZAC e.V. in Tanzania.

March 2018
Opening of a Tanzanian bank account in Korogwe to handle business in the country. The account is approved by the Board of C.B.R.O. guided locally on the basis of the four-eye principle and exclusively according to our instructions.
Transfers from VB’s German ZAC account to the Tanzanian NGO account will, as far as possible, only be carried out on a quarterly basis as of autumn 2018, for cost-saving reasons.

March 2018
The ZAC e.V. opens its own Facebook account in order to reach even more people in addition to its own Internet presence and to increase the chances of further members, supporters or property sponsors. In the same month the C.B.R.O. in Tanzania also has its own Facebook account.

April 2018
The ZAC homepage is now bilingual and will be available in English later. In the next step, the option of choosing the third language, Swahili, is planned.

April 2018
The ZAC e.V. founded with the C.B.R.O. as a project ambassador a football team of its own, consisting of a first and a second team, which in the future under the name “C.B.R.O. LUTINDI FC ” will play games against other regional Tanzanian teams. A total of 25 players from the 5 villages of the village community Lutindi were selected for their own two teams at a separate viewing day in Lutindi. The C.B.R.O. LUTINDI FC has been officially registered.

May 2018
Fans of the MSV Duisburg collected money for the equipment of the C.B.R.O. Lutindi FC and thus contributed a total of 25 pairs of football boots to equip the players who were purchased in the country. The supplier of the MSV Duisburg, Capelli, represented by Kay Mourheg, donated 25 complete jerseys, which were printed in honorary work free of charge by the shop team of MSV Duisburg under the direction of Christian Tölle with the logo, the numbers and the club name.

June 2018
One of the requirements of founding our Tanzanian NGO was the presence of a physical office. We were able to reach an agreement with the Tanzanian Evangelical Lutheran Church on the renting of a space that is appropriate and sufficient for our purposes in the premises of the Lutindi Mental Hospital. For the equivalent of € 3.75 per month, we rented this space on a long-term basis, renovated it ourselves and equipped it with the necessary operational facilities. A table, two chairs, some paint and some office utensils have barely charged in terms of cost.

June 2018
The ZAC e.V. was once again awarded the Town & Country Foundation Prize this year, which was endowed with a donation of € 1,000.00.

June 2018
The 12-month collection campaign of copper coins, which expired in June 2018, was once again considered a success. Overall, the collection community of fans collected an amount of 1,572.07 euros. The Mülheim S-Cash Logistics has carried out the automatic counting of the coins and their exchange free of charge as every year so also this year. In addition, separate donations totaling 878.00 euros were received as part of this campaign, with the result that the 2017/2018 campaign brought in a total of 2,578.07 euros for the project. In the same month, the copper money campaign 2018/2019 was launched on an enlarged scale. It is now not limited more to the collection of copper money.

August 2018
Meeting with the C.B.R.O. Executive Board member Florence Shemndolwa in Duisburg and intensive exchange on the project and the environment in Lutindi.

September 2018
After lengthy and very difficult negotiations, after two years of discussions and formulations between the Tanzanian MeT-Group, the largest Tanzanian employer and landowner, and us (through our NGO C.B.R.O.), a legally binding contract for the free use of the land for our construction project was concluded. The contract provides for the provision of 45.000m² of building land in Lutindi and describes the terms of use. Registration in the Tanzanian Basic Register has been initiated.

October 2018
The construction of a sports field / football field, planned in our construction phase 3, was brought forward. This sports ground will be on the one hand the C.B.R.O.LUTINDI FC as well as the students of the two schools in Lutindi available (previously not available). This planning has met with a great response from the municipality of Lutindi. The villagers redirected a stream as a preparatory work on the planned area. Fans of the MSV Duisburg have collected in a spontaneous fundraising collection for the necessary, machine straightening of the area required amount of a total of € 1,330.00 (renting a grader).

November 2018
The necessary ground survey was commissioned by the state-owned TanRoad, after a new cost estimate was obtained. The total cost amounted to 1,650.00 euros, which were taken over in full by the Dinslakener engineering and planning office Zühlsdorf in the context of an object sponsorship to 100%.

November 2018
Following a unanimous decision of the Board of Directors, the provisional project name “Umbele Village” was transferred to the final village name “Angaza Children’s Village” (Angaza translates as “bright spots”) proposed by the C.B.R.O. board. This name will be maintained internally and externally in all publications and official documents.

November 2018
ZAC e.V. awarded the order to C.B.R.O for the partial clearing of the heavily smoked building site due to the pending execution of the soil assessment. Accessibility had to be guaranteed. Some Tanzanian day laborers completed the work within 10 days. Total cost around 300.00 euros.

December 2018
The construction of a village sports field was completed as the first major project of the ZAC in Lutindi. As a prelude to the upcoming planing helped the entire village in the laying of a stream. Then the ground level was leveled with a bulldozer. The remaining work will be taken over again by the village community. This will give the two schools of the village and the C.B.R.O. Lutindi FC have their own sports field available.

December 2018
In FY 2018, only 8 new memberships and 1 sponsoring membership were registered. This is a significant decline compared to the previous years.
In total, seven memberships and 48 active memberships have been received by ZAC e.V. since its founding until 31.12.2018. Two resignations of members were recorded in 2018 and thus in total since the founding of the association.
The number of donations also declined significantly compared to 2017 and 2018. This is mainly attributable to the fact that the takeover of property sponsorships, which was too low in 2018, had significantly increased the average donation received in previous years through large individual donations. Here, it is important to lay the main activities and efforts of the entire Executive Board in 2019.
The account balance of the club at the VB Duisburg was reported on December 31, 2017 at 40,984.48 euros and at 31.12.2018 at 45,978.56 euros.
