Mission, vision and priority areasMissionThe Umthombo Youth Development Foundation seeks to address the shortag-es of qualified health care staff at rural hospitals to improve health care to the indigent population. This is achieved through the identification, training and support of rural youth to become quali-fied health care professionals
Vision for the next 3 yearsThat participating hospitals are well staffed, with local professionals devel-oped through UYDF, resulting in the healthcare needs of the communities being addressed.
Priority Areas1. Student Support:
a) Identify sufficient youth with poten- tial b) Provide academic and social
mentoring support to all students in order for them to succeed c) Provide comprehensive financial support to students
2. Graduate Support a) Graduates obtain employment at participating rural hospitals and honour their work back contracts b) Graduate retention through on- going support and professional development
3. Mobilisation of Resources Ensure sufficient financial, physical and human resources to meet all objectives.
4. Expansion of the Programme Increase the impact of our work through the provision of academic and
social mentoring support to many more health science students from rural and quintile 1 & 2 schools, to ensure they have the best opportunity to succeed. 5. Partnerships Develop partnerships with strategic stakeholders in order to achieve our mission.
6. Organisational Development a) Ensure the necessary organisational systems and governance structures are in place b) Qualified and motivated Trustees that can assist the organisation to achieve its mission c) Competent and motivated staff whose expertise grows through professional development and reflection
7. Research a) Strengthen Monitoring & Evaluation to measure and share impact b) Share best practice in the area of human resources for health c) Conduct applied research in order to contribute to the knowledge of addressing the shortages of health care workers, specifically through the investment in rural youth
The FutureOver the past 17 years we have shown that rural youth can succeed in becoming qualified health care professionals, if provided the necessary support, and that they will return to work at their local rural hospitals on graduating.
Since the need for healthcare workers at
rural hospitals is still significant, we seek to identify and support more rural youth to become qualified health care profes-sionals, in order to address the unaccept-ably high shortages of staff at rural hospi-tals, and thereby improve healthcare delivery to rural communities.
To date we have provided full cost bursaries to our students and been responsible for raising the necessary funding every year (R12 million last year), which has limited the number of students we can support and our overall impact.
However, the need for academic and social mentoring support of rural and quintile 1 & 2 students is huge, and thus we are currently in the process of trans-forming from a full cost student model, to a value added model, where we will provide the essential academic and social mentoring support to students who are funded by others.
We are thus seeking to partner with the National Skills Fund and National Student Financial Aid Scheme who would fund students that we provide mentoring support to.
We seek to incorporate aspects of our Model into their modus operandi to ensure they support student success, and result in graduates committed to returning to serve their communities.
This will allow us to improve the univer-sity outcomes of many more rural and disadvantaged health science students than we are currently able to.

From the Founder’s PenRadical economic transformation seems to be the current buzz word in South Africa- but what does it mean and how do we get to Nirvana- this place of economic liberation for the majority of South Africans? With unemployment rates rising well above 27.1%1 few would argue for the need for economic transformation. However, over the last few months there has been rhetoric, with little substance, outlining exactly what radical economic transformation is, and what it looks like, how would we recognise it, and how we might strategise to achieve it.
Dr J. Campbell, WHO Director of Work-force Planning, has highlighted the cost benefit of investing in the healthcare workforce. The socio-economic value of increased healthcare provider employ-ment is seen as it contributes to a healthi-er workforce, increased productivity, higher levels of formal employment and wider access to social security protec-tion.2 The projected return on invest-ment in healthcare workforce in low and middle income countries between 2000 and 2011 is projected to be 9:1!3
At UYDF we have seen radical economic transformation in the students we have supported who have gone on to become health care professionals bringing health
and economic benefits to the communi-ties where they work. We have seen rural students from economically challenging backgrounds graduate from training institutions and secure well paid, perma-nent, meaningful jobs at rural hospitals. We have seen the resulting transforma-tion in them, their families and their communities.
We believed that THIS is radical economic transformation – driven by educational opportunities which equip young people for productive employment in permanent, meaningful work, that is remunerated at a rate which allows them to provide for their families. This annual report highlights what can be achieved both in terms of health care provision, and radical economic transformation with vision, focus, mentorship and support. Imagine what could be achieved in South Africa if we really understood and implemented this radical economic transformation. Here is to a future full of possibilities.

I am happy to report that our financial position has improved significantly from the same time last year. This is due to our significantly increased National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) allocation, which has allowed us to issue loans to 221 of our 233 students, in other words, 95% of our students. This has been an incredi-ble help, but it is loan funding that needs to be repaid when students start working. Since our students are studying health science disciplines classified as ‘Scare Skills’, ultimately we hope to access the National Skills Fund to obtain non-repayable bursary funding for our students, as they will serve in the public sector and areas of greatest need (rural areas) when qualified. We have made some progress in this regard by meeting with the Department of Higher Education and Training.
Our improved financial position enabled us to select over 100 new students this year from 17 partner hospitals, giving us a total of 233 students. Last year, our reduced number of students achieved a 94% university pass rate! Our five-year average now stands at 93%. We had 47 students complete their degrees, increas-ing graduate numbers to 304 – of which 98 are Doctors!
Everyone agrees that the university pass rate achieved by our students is excep-tional, especially since they come from quintile 1 & 2 non-fee paying schools. In addition, the increasing annual graduate numbers are also impressive, especially since the graduates work in desperately needy areas, often providing services that
were previously non-existent or totally unreliable.
What we have not really highlighted regarding our work, however, is the radically changed lives of these young people who received an education and qualification with our assistance, which resulted in immediate employment leading to transformation of their families whilst serving their community. When we met them they were unable to afford a university education, but when qualified, they became employed in permanent quality jobs and now earn a monthly salary. In most cases this is the first form of steady income, besides social grants, that the family has ever received. They lift their families out of poverty by assisting to educate their siblings and contribute to family expenses. In addition, they become taxpayers contributing to the broader economy. Furthermore, the majority of our graduates now own assets like motor-cars, and some have even invested in property. This economic change has, in some cases, taken only six to eight years – could this be considered radical econom-ic transformation? If so, it is certainly sustainable economic transformation!
In addition to the obvious economic benefits, I have seen many of these young men and women pursue and marry the “love of their lives”, and cherish them. Out of these relationships children are being born. I have seen so many of our young graduate men, whose own fathers were absent, become the most amazing fathers to their sons and daughters!
These profound changes surely contrib-ute so much to a renewed social fabric, so desperately needed in our country. The poverty cycle is broken - children are born to financially-stable parents who will love and care for them. These children will not experience bad schooling, because their parents have seen the value of education. These children will, in all probability, not know what a social grant is, whereas their parents lived in families where social grants were the only form of steady income.
We express our sincere gratitude to the organisations listed later in the report (ref. page 13) that have continued to financial-ly support us, and in many cases increased their level of support. Without them, none of the benefits mentioned above would be possible.

The problem is the high shortages of qualified healthcare staff at rural hospitals as well as the high disease burdens of rural communities. Reasons for the shortages of healthcare workers in rural areas include: the remoteness of location, lack of employ-ment opportunities for spouses, poor schooling for healthcare workers children; perceived lack of professional develop-ment opportunities and support among others. The reasons for high disease burdens of rural communities include: poor water and sanitation, poor nutrition and health education, poverty; poor preventa-tive healthcare programmes eg. vaccina-tions due to remoteness of communities.
How do we address these problems?By investing in rural youth who have the interest and potential to successfully study a health science degree, and who agree to work at a rural hospital after graduation, for the same number of years they were supported for.
Why rural youth?Since they come from rural areas, they are more likely to live and work in a rural area than their urban counterparts. They know the language and culture of the community a n d t h u s a re a b l e to better understand the health-care needs of the commu-nity. They do not feel isolated, as would urban origin healthcare workers, as they have family & friends to support them.
How is this achieved?Our work is achieved through implement-ing the various aspects of our Model:
The local participating hospital is in the centre of the Model. The hospital is involved in the identification and support of students and the employment of gradu-ates. They are the beneficiaries of our work.
The components of the model include the following:
School MarketingPresentations are done at schools to
learners providing information about health sciences as career options; the subjects and grades needed; the university application process; the Hospital Open Day and sources of funding including the UYDF selection criteria and requirements.
Learners doing Maths and Science, that are interested in studying a health science degree, are invited to attend the Hospital Open Day, where they rotate through the hospital departments and are addressed by the various healthcare professionals (often our graduates) regarding the nature of their work, as well as where they studied, and how they succeeded.
Our selection criteria requires learners to apply to university themselves (we provide the contact details and applications forms), and complete 5 days voluntary work at their local hospital in the respec-tive department. This exposes them to the realities of the relevant health science discipline & serves to confirm their choice.
If they have obtained a place at university to study an approved health science degree, they are invited to a selection interview. The interview panel consists of hospital staff, local education and commu-nity representatives, and an UYDF repre-sentative. The interview exists to determine the learner’s motivation for studying the relevant health science degree, and obtain their commitment to work at their local
hospital after graduation for the same number of years they were supported for. These learners then leave for university. We provide students with a full cost bursa-ry covering tuition, accommodation, books, food and minor equipment. In addition, because rural youth are poorly equipped both academically and socially for university, the UYDF provides academic and social mentoring support to all its students. All new students are allocated a mentor, with whom they need to meet once a month. The mentor, who may not be a health science graduate or university academic, h o l d s t h e s tu d e n t account-
able to address the challenges they face in order to succeed. C o m m o n c h a l l e n ge s faced by rural youth include: poor command of English, poor study skills and time manage-ment, difficulty in social integration, and family issues to mention a few. Through the provision of mentoring support, the UYDF has consistently achieved exceptionally high university pass rates (in the high 90’s)!
As part of the mentoring support, all students are required to do 4 weeks holiday work a year at their local hospital. This allows them to comple-ment the theory with
practise as they are mentored by hospital staff. They also get a sense of the working environment and the need for their servic-es when they graduate. The holiday work is done during the June and December holidays.
On graduation they are employed by the Department of Health at their local hospital (doctors, pharmacists, psychologists and biomedical technologists are required to complete their compulsory internship first at a tertiary (urban) hospital). In addition to graduates serving their community with their new skills, they become involved in motivating youth in the area, and the various aspects of the UYDF Model, like Open Days and selection interviews, as described above.

Comprehensive financial support
The Friends of Mosvold (FOM) Trust was established in 1995 to facilitate health development in the Umkhanyakude District. Over the years the Trust raised money for Mosvold Hospital to purchase vehicles, improve accommodation, provide fencing for residential clinics, develop a HIV/AIDS education programme, and implement a large scale sanitation programme. In 1998, based on the need to find a solution to the long-term problem of a lack of qualified staff at the hospitals in the district, and the belief that people from the area – in spite of many financial, social and educational obstacles – had the potential to become healthcare profession-als, the Trust decided to establish a Scholar-ship Scheme.
1. The Trust committed to provide at least four new scholarships each year.
2. Obtained an agreement with MESAB (Medical Education for South African Blacks) to contribute half of the university costs (approximately 1/3 of the total
costs involved) – this agreement ended in 2007 when MESAB closed.
3. Initiated career guidance days (‘Open Days’) at the hospitals in the district,
twice a year, to expose school leavers to career opportunities in the health scienc-es.
This move by the Trust was fundamentally motivated by the belief that rural learners from Umkhanyakude have the potential to become healthcare professionals, and will return to work in the district, which is their ‘home’ community after qualifying – thus addressing the on going problem of shortages of qualified staff.
A comprehensive programme was set up at the hospitals and in local schools to promote careers in health sciences, as well as to inspire learners to dream about what seemed impossible, and to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. Dr Andrew Ross, the Mosvold Hospital Superintendent at the time, started fundraising in order for this concept to become a reality.
The first four students supported were: France Nxumalo (now a qualified optome-trist); Dumisani Gumede (a qualified physio-therapist); Nkosinqiphile Nyawo (a qualified biomedical technologist) and Sibusiso Thwala (a pharmacist who is unfortunately deceased). Dr Ross and Mrs Elda Nsimbini were involved in mentoring and supporting these first students.
In time and through interactions with others it was realised that for the approach to
succeed, there was a need to not only fund students accepted at university, but also to provide mentoring support, as rural students face many challenges at University (both academic and social). Dr Ross played a key role in providing mentoring support to students whilst at university and Mrs Elda Nsimbini was known by the students as their “mother”.
Each year more and more students applied for assistance which required Dr Ross to find more funding. A number of people caught the vision shared with them by Dr Ross and provided the necessary financial support. These people included Mrs Lynne Fiser of BOE Private Clients; Mr Ken Duncan of the Swiss South African Co-operative Initiative and the Trustees of MESAB (Lynne Fiser and Ken Duncan have continued to provide support through their organisations) as well as a number of individuals.
By the end of 2007, the number of students being supported had grown to 55 and the Scheme had produced 33 health science graduates. The Scheme was still being managed by Dr Ross, who was fundraising and providing mentoring support and Mrs Elda Nsimbini, who was managing the finances, organising holiday work for students, co-ordinating the selection of new students and compiling the reports required to maintain the organisations non profit status. It was at this time, that Dr Ross, who had since left Mosvold Hospital and taken up a post at the University of KwaZu-lu-Natal, realized that he needed help. An award from the Discovery Foundation, relieved the immediate fundraising pressure and allowed Dr Ross to find someone to assist him. Ruth Osborne, a skilled Organisational Development person, with experience in the NGO sector, joined as a consultant to assist Dr Ross and the Trustees to determine the best way forward.
They came to the conclusion that either: 1) the Scheme is stopped, having been successful in supporting a number of
rural youth to succeed at University (there were 33 graduates) and being able to say it can happen or
2) full time staff should be employed to manage and develop the Scheme further. Due to the huge potential that the
Scheme had, the Trustees decided to employ a Director to manage and develop the Scheme.
In that regard, the present Director, Gavin MacGregor, was employed on 8 February 2008 as the Scheme’s first employee and Director. At the same time, Dr Will Mapham
was engaged by a potential funder as an independent consultant, to assess the various aspects of the Scheme and highlight the areas that needed strengthen-ing. Using this information a strategic planning session was held to map out the 3-5 year future of the Scheme.
Since the mentoring support was found to be a critical component of the success of the Scheme it was decided to employ a full time Student Mentor. Dumisani Gumede, a physiotherapist graduate of the Scheme was eventually approached to become the Scheme’s full time student mentor.As the Director interacted with the five hospitals within the Umkhanyakude district, as well as the Department of Health District and Head Office as well as other stakeholders, it was realized that in developing the Scheme further that the name needed to change. Through a partici-pative process involving the graduates, current students, Trustees and other stakeholders a new name was chosen. Umthombo is an isiZulu word for a well or spring. We believe that just as a well provides life giving and refreshing water to sustain a person, so our work offers new life and opportunities for rural youth.
Although the name has changed, the rich history remains in the hearts and minds of many and will not be forgotten. The new name embraces the same mission and purpose, but with a much greater vision of giving even more rural youth opportunities to study health science degrees and involving more hospitals, so that shortages of staff at rural hospitals will be a thing of the past!
On 4 December 2010 a 10 year celebration of the achievements of the FOM Scholarship Scheme was held at Mosvold hospital. The celebration was an opportunity to acknowl-edge all those who had been involved in developing and supporting the Scheme as well as an opportunity to share with the community and broader audience the future plans of the organisation, including the name change. The celebration was considered as a visit to our rich and success-ful past, as well as an embracing of the future expansion of the programme to assist many more youth in order to ensure service delivery to rural communities improves through an increased number of qualified health care workers.
There are 233 students being supported, with over 100 new students selected. Graduate numbers now exceed 300!

SELECTIONCRITERIA
In 2016 we started the year with 181 students. Due to financial constraints we did not select any new students. During the year six students were excluded for poor academic performance and one withdrew for health reasons. The majority of students (98) were studying medicine followed by pharmacy (22) and physio-therapy (13). We supported students across 14 di�erent health science disciplines to ensure that rural hospitals will be able to provide a wide range of health care services to the community.
Of the 174 students who wrote examina-tions, 163 passed of which 47 graduated. Eleven students failed. The overall pass rate was thus 94%! Of the 47 graduates, 33 or 70% completed their degrees in the minimum time, whilst 10 students needed an additional year, and three students an additional two years. One student, who we only supported for the last two years needed four additional years.
This is an incredible achievement, especially when one considers that these students attended poorly resourced rural schools! We attribute this high pass rate to our highly e�ective mentoring support programme, which assists students to address both academic and social issues
in order to pass. Dumisani Gumede and his team of 8 local mentors must be congratulated for assisting these students to achieve so well.
The 47 graduates increased our total graduate numbers to 304! The 47 gradu-ates covered 10 di�erent health science disciplines, with the majority being doctors (18), radiographers (8) and physi-otherapists (6).
Participating hospitals are involved in exposing school learners to the di�erent health science disciplines through hosting Open Days, and are involved in student selection, student mentoring and training, in the form of holiday work, and the employment of our graduates. We meet with hospital representatives to discuss their involvement in these issues, to ensure that they are implemented e�ectively, and the hospital then derives the greatest benefit from our work.
We have a good relationship with the KZN Department of Health - we hold quarterly meetings with them, which has lead to a closer working relationship to the benefit of both organisations. Through this relationship all our graduates are employed at rural hospitals immediately a�er graduation, which is naturally a huge benefit to us, and the communities they will serve. However, this year, three nurses who completed their final year of commu-nity service at di�erent rural hospitals did not get permanent positions, and thus are currently unemployed.
We ended the year with our annual Student Life Skills Imbizo. The value of interacting with the students outside the university environment is critical to moulding and shaping these young people to be the future health care profes-sionals that our country and rural communities so desperately need, namely: empathetic, caring, professional, competent, and committed!
The Benefits and Successes
IMPACT: IMPROVED HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO RURAL COMMUNITIES
Participating districts and hospitals We are currently working with 15 hospi-tals in 4 health districts of KwaZulu-Natal (Umkhanyakude, Zululand, King Cetsh-wayo & Harry Gwala). 2 of the 4 health districts (Umkhanyakude & Zululand) are Priority 18 districts – districts where health care indicators are poor and require significant interventions. We are also working with 2 hospitals in the Eastern Cape Province: Zithulele, near Hole in the Wall and St Patricks in Bizana.

a local problem the solution becomes sustainable, since the graduates are more likely to stay and build their careers in the local hospi-tal.
13. Providing work place mentoring for newly qualified graduates to assist the transition from university life to working in a hospital.
14. Providing rural hospital staff with professional development opportu-nities as a retention strategy.
15. Improving the quality of health care delivery through the provision of qualified healthcare workers, who understand the language and the culture of the local community, and are committed to make a difference (I am helping my community!).
16. Providing stability in the workforce as graduates honour their work-back obligations.
17. Offers one of the most sustainable solutions for the long-term supply of professional health care staff for rural hospitals.
18. It is replicable. If it can work in one of the most rural and under-resourced districts, then it can work anywhere in South Africa.19. It is a local solution to the intern- tional problem of a shortage of health care workers in areas of greatest need.20. It breaks the spiral of rural poverty
as youth become qualified healthcare workers, obtain work, earn salaries, assist and serve their communities, whilst inspiring others to do the same.
The programme’s benefits are not only limited to providing financial support to needy students but include: 1. Providing an incentive for local
learners to work hard to achieve the grades that are needed to be accept-ed to study a health science degree at University. No such opportunities ever existed in rural areas before.
2. Providing a beacon of hope for local learners and stimulating local youth development by highlighting that it is possible to come from a deep rural area and become a health profession-
al!3. It proves that rural students have the
potential to succeed at university, if provided with the appropriate support, since the pass rate over the past five years has exceeded 90% - well above the national average.
4. Graduates of the programme are positive role models for rural youth to look up to and emulate.
5. Stimulating community develop-ment, through community participa-tion in the selection of scholarship participants and graduates serving their community when qualified.
6. Providing comprehensive financial support to students thus removing the financial barriers that would prevent students with potential from going to University.
7. The financial support allows students to concentrate exclusively on their studies without worrying about how they will pay their fees or buy food.
8. Providing comprehensive and acces-sible mentoring support for students to deal with academic, social and/or personal issues, thus ensuring that they have the best opportunity to succeed in their studies.
9. The graduates, who are role models, are involved in encouraging and motivating school children about dreaming about a better future.
10. Training young people in careers which will give them a job for life, as they are scarce and important skills that will always be in demand.11. It has shown that graduates will
return to work in the district where

The StudentsThis year we are supporting 233 students selected from 17 partnering rural hospitals. Our students are studying at 16 di�erent academic institutions across the country.
It is amazing that 123 of the 233 students are studying medicine! A number of years ago, no one would have believed it possi-ble that youth from deep rural areas would gain entry to university, let alone study to become a doctor – this is a major achievement!
Although the majority of students are studying medicine, it is important to note the broad range of health science disciplines are being supported. The different disciplines are important in providing comprehensive healthcare, especially in a rural hospital.
Mentoring SupportA critical component of the programme’s success is the mentoring support provid-ed to students. Rural students face many challenges at university including their poor command of English (which is the
medium of instruction); the fast pace of the academic programme; peer pressure; requests from home and many more. The mentoring support is thus provided to help students cope and overcome these many challenges. The organisation is fortunate to have Dumsani Gumede, one of the first graduates, as the full time student mentor, since he can identify with the struggles of the students and provide practical advice for them to overcome their challenges. Dumsani is in contact with the students monthly, either by sms, email or telephone, and meets with them twice a year at university, and at least once whilst they are doing their holiday work.
With the large numbers of students we are supporting, and the fact that the students are studying at a number of different academic institutions, we have a network
of local mentors to ensure that all students are able to have a face-to-face meeting with a mentor. These local mentors are based within close proximity to the various academic institutions, and have skills and experience in motivating and supporting students. Each local mentor submits a monthly report on each student to Dumsani, in order for him to remain aware of the progress of every student, and provide additional support where needed.
The exceptionally high pass rate of 94% achieved last year can be ascribed to the mentoring support provided to students.
Our 94% pass rate far exceeds the nation-al average of around 50% for all university students, and the 35% success rate of quintile 1 and 2 students at university.

In meeting with the students, the mentors always discuss the following: 1. The student’s academic performance
and their need to pass. Struggling students are linked with university
tutors and the university mentoring programme. They are held account able by our mentors in terms of ensur-ing they make the necessary changes needed to address their challenges so they can pass.
2. How they are coping socially and personally. Students are encouraged to support one other and meet at
least once a month to discuss issues and interact socially. Students with serious problems are referred relevant professionals for specific help e.g. social worker.
3. Their need to honour their work-back agreement when they qualify.4. The need to make good choices concerning their future such as remaining HIV negative; preventing teenage pregnancy; avoiding drugs etc. It is emphasised that they have a bright future ahead of them which could be negated due to irresponsible behaviour.
T h e m e n to r/ m e n te e re l a t i o n s h i p becomes one of respect, with the mentor being an accessible and available “shoul-der to lean on”, and who encourages the student to achieve their true potential. We have seen so many students exceed their own expectations, as high standards have been set.
Holiday WorkAll students, including the Provincial Bursary students that we support, are
required to do at least 4 weeks compulso-ry holiday work at their local hospital each year for which we pay a stipend. The purpose is to allow them to interact with hospital staff, and get a sense that “this is their hospital”, as well as get an idea of our vision for the provision of quality health services to rural communities. This exposure also assists students to gain valuable practical experience which assists them at University. In addition, during their holiday work, students participate in outreach activities in local communities – interacting with the youth and encouraging them to work hard, dream about a better future, know their HIV status and choose healthy lifestyles, so they too can become the change agents in their communities.
Many students report that the holiday work is such a valuable and wonderful experience, as it gives context to their university studies, and motivates them to work hard in order to qualify, so they can return to their hospital to make a differ-ence.
Financial SupportThe financial support provided to the students is comprehensive to ensure that the students are able to concentrate on their studies and pass. The support covers the following:• Full tuition and accommodation • A monthly food allowance • A book allowance, paid twice per year • Payment for holiday work • Any other essential expenses as
required as part of the curriculum (e.g. minor equipment, compulsory excur-sions etc.)
Our work addresses critical aspects of rural and youth development, health, as well as skills development and job creation, which are government priorities. These are detailed as:1. Focuses on opportunities for rural youth. 02. Improves service delivery to rural communities. 03. Leads to skills development, particu- larly the addressing of scare skills. 0004. Leads to employment as youth are being trained for specific jobs. 00000
5. Increases the number of taxpayers as these youth are employed in perma-nent quality positions. 00000000000
6. Exposes students to the world of work through their holiday work experience. 0007. Our work is concentrated in the Priority 18 districts – districts identi- fied by government with particularly poor health indicators that need improvement. 00000000000000000008. This work is aligned to the National
Skills Development Strategy III. 00000
9. Youth are trained for specific jobs and are able to work immediately after graduating or completing their intern-ship training.
10. Our model ensures that rural hospi- tals are actively involved in addressing the shortages of skills at their hospitals. 011. Our support of our graduates and
hospital staff, in their professional development, ensures they have the necessary skills to become competent
managers and leaders. 000000000000

The pie chart below gives a breakdown of where these gradu-ates are currently working:
GRADUATES BY PLACE OF WORK
Of the 254 graduates, 36 are busy with their internship training and are thus unavailable to work at a rural hospital at this time. Thus subtracting them from the 304 graduates, we see that 66% of our graduates are working at a rural hospital – the aim and purpose of the scheme! If one includes the number of graduates working in rural non government organisations, this percentage increases to 69%!We have seen a trend over time of more doctors wishing to specialise - 10% of current doctors are specialising. 25 of the 304 graduates have gone into the private sector – 7 having private practises in rural areas.Regarding our investment in rural youth as a way to address the shortages of staff at rural hospitals over the long term, it is
noteworthy to see where graduates, that have no further work- back obligations, are working. The information for these 109 graduates is presented below:
GRADUATES WITH NO FURTHER WORK-BACK OBLIGATION
Significantly, of the 109 graduates that have no further work-back obligation to the UYDF, 50% are still working at a rural hospital! In addition, 6 are still serving rural communities as they work for rural non governmental organisations, thus increasing the percentage to 56%. 25 are working in urban public hospitals, thus serving the majority of the population, whilst 4 are specialising. Only 9 have gone into the urban private health care sector – whilst 6 are working in the rural private sector.
This confirms that the investment in rural youth does have a positive effect on the staffing of rural hospitals - both in the short and long term.

PROBLEM:43.6% of population is rural - only 12% of doctors and 19% of nurses work rurally
UYDF is working to redress this
Building a programme to support rural youth to become
qualified health care professionals is like building a house.
Good foundations are needed (selection of youth
with potential) on which strong walls
and a roof can be built.

Annual Financial Statements
The trustees are required to maintain adequate accounting records and are respon-sible for the content and integrity of the annual financial statements and related financial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure that the annual financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the trust as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Stand-ards for Small and Medium-sized Entities. The external auditors are engaged to express an independent opinion on the annual financial statements.
The annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium-sized Entities and are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates.
The trustees acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established by the trust and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable the trustees to meet these responsibili-ties, the board sets standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or
loss in a cost effective manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibili-ties within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the trust and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the trust’s business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in the trust is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the trust. While operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the trust endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and ethical behaviour are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.
The trustees are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management, that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the annual financial statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The trustees have reviewed the trust’s cash flow forecast for the year to 28 February 2018 and, in the light of this review and the current financial position, they are satisfied that the trust has or has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The external auditors are responsible for independently auditing and reporting on the trust’s annual financial statements. The annual financial statements have been examined by the trust’s external auditors and their report is presented on page 4.
The annual financial statements set out on pages 4 to 7, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, were approved by the trustees on 26 May 2017 and were signed on its behalf by:

Trustees’ Responsibilities and Approval
To the trustees of Umthombo Youth Development Foundation Trust
Qualified opinion
We have audited the annual financial statements of Umthombo Youth Development Foundation Trust set out on pages 8 to 15, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 28 February 2017, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the annual financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
ln our opinion, except for the possible effect of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the annual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Umthombo Youth Development Foundation Trust as at 28 February 2017, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with international Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities and the requirements of the Trust Deed.
Basis for qualified opinion
ln common with similar organisations, it is not feasible for the organisation to institute accounting controls over collections from donations and grants prior to being received and recorded in the accounting records. Accordingly, it was impractical for us to extend our examination beyond the receipts actually recorded.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Annual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with international Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with international Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:• Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the annual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
Independent Auditor’s Report
The trustees submit their report on the annual financial statements of Umthombo Youth Development Foundation Trust for the year ended 28 February 2017.
1. The trust
The trust was created by a trust deed dated 19 May 1995 although it commenced operations on 1 March 1996.The name of the trust was changed from Friends of Mosvold to Umthombo Youth Development Foundation Trust in March 2010.
2. Nature of business
The beneficiaries of the trust are Black people as defined by the Broad-Based Economic Empowerment Act No. 53 of 2003, resident in rural communities of South Africa. The purpose of the trust is to improve and extend health and health related services to the residents in South Africa.
The Umthombo Youth Development Founda-tion (UYDF) has entered into a partnership with the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) in which NSFAS provides an annual allocation to the UYDF to disperse loans on its behalf. The loans are issued to UYDF students to fund their university expenses. The UYDF undertakes to the students to pay the student’s loans after they complete a year of work at an agreed rural hospital for every year studied. This contingency requires that the UYDF has reserves
and cash available to meet these commitments should they become due. During the academic year January to December 2016 NSFAS advanced R5,258,925 to students of which R586,273 potentially may need to be repaid in 2018 by UYDF (Refer to note 11).
There have been no material changes to the nature of the trust’s business from the prior year.
3. Review of financial results and activities
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities. The accounting policies have been applied consistently compared to the prior year.
Full details of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the trust are set out in these annual financial statements and do not require further comment, except for the following observation:
It will be noted that there is a large discrepancy between the total expenditure in 2016 R17,239,247 and 2017 R11,909,316 The reason for the significantly reduced expenditure in 2017 was the uncertainty around funding which resulted in no new students being selected for support in the 2017 financial year. A total of 173 students were supported in 2016 compared to the 230 in 2015.
At the same time as expenditure was significant-ly reduced in 2017, income increased in 2017. However, confirmation of the increased income was only received in October 2016, late in the academic year, which resulted in expenditure not being increased in the short term. The increased income has resulted in a larger number of new students being selected for support in the 2018 financial year.

detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the trust’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. lf we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the annual financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor‘s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the trust to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the annual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the trustees regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

1. Presentation of Annual Financial Statements
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities. The annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below. They are presented in South African Rands.
These accounting policies are consistent with the previous period.
1.1 Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. lf a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, over the useful life of the plant and equipment as follows:
ltem Average useful life Furniture and fixtures 10 years Motor vehicles 3 years Office equipment 4 years IT equipment 4 years Other equipment 4 years
The residual value, depreciation method and useful life of each asset are reviewed only where there is an indication that there has been a significant change from the previous estimate.
Gains and losses on disposals are recognised in profit or loss.
1.2 Financial instruments
Initial measurement
Financial instruments are initially measured at the transaction price (including transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value through surplus or deficit) unless the arrangement constitutes, in effect, a financing transaction in which case it is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial instruments at amortised cost
These include loans, trade receivables and trade payables. Those debt instruments which meet the criteria in section 11.8(b) of the standard, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments which are classified as current assets or current liabilities are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash expected to be received or paid, unless the arrangement effectively constitutes a financing transaction.
At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of assets held in this category are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. lf there is objective evidence, the recoverable amount is estimated and compared with the carrying amount. lf the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit.
Financial instruments at cost
Equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Financial instruments at fair value
All other financial instruments, including equity instruments that are publicly traded or whose fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, are measured at fair value through surplus and deficit.
1.3 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the trust has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event; it is probable that the trust will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
1.4 Revenue
Revenue comprises of grants and donations received and are recognised when they are received.
Interest is recognised, in surplus or deficit, using the effective interest rate method.
1.5 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

11. Commitment for future funding of students
a) The trust has committed to assist 253 students (2017: 184 students) in the forthcoming year and it is estimated the cost of this will not be less than R12,124,000 (2016: R8,937,037). This is made up of an estimate for full and partial costs for students that have received the majority of their funding from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme.
b) In terms of the new funding arrangement with NSFAS, commencing in 2011, 376 (2016: 231) students have been financially assisted by the organisation to date to the extent of R21,637,425 (2016: R14,832,985).
In terms of the trust’s agreement with the student, the trust has agreed to assume the repayment obligation that the student has to NFSAS, provided the student completes a year of work at a rural hospital for every year studied.
Of the 376 (2016: 231) students, 10 (2016: 30) are fulfilling their work obligation in the 2017 academic year and the commitment to fund R418,674 (2016: R1,353,081) at the end of the 2017 academic year has accordingly been raised in the financials.
In 2018 if all NSFAS funded students work in a rural hospital, an amount of R586,273 will be needed by UYDF to repay their loans.
