Just Care

Activities in Uganda

The Tower Hill site at Kamutuuza, run in conjunction with the Church of Uganda, West Buganda diocese, was visited during the year by both Trustees and volunteers. The total number of students on the site is now around one thousand two hundred. The site has a Kindergarten & Primary School (Tower), Secondary School (Bexhill), Evelyn's Home (a primary boarding section for very needy children supervised by a housemother), and associated support buildings.
There are two sponsorship programmes in place; KNAPS (Kamutuuza Not Able to Pay Students) this provides education for local children attending as day scholars, and sponsorship of the children in Evelyn's Home where the children are cared for full time throughout the school terms. After completing their time at the Primary School, the Evelyn’s Home children continue their education at the Bexhill secondary school and if appropriate receive two further years education at college, to help them to become independent.
The nursery school at Kitwe village catered for around 135 children in 3 classes. The work on new teacher’s accommodation which began in March 2023 was completed in July 2023. This provided 3 additional rooms and bathroom facilities. Also, during the year, a new church was built near to the school. Some feeding support for the neediest families in the village took place as funds were donated for that purpose.

FINANCIAL REVIEW, INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESERVES

There is no formal reserves policy in place, however the charity retains adequate funds for the sponsorship schemes so that reasonable notice could be given to the Kamutuuza schools if the charity were no longer able to continue providing support. Support of the sponsorship schemes remained strong again throughout the year. Undesignated income received is allocated to the Uganda general fund.

The trustees continue to be grateful to all who support Just Care through financial giving.

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS

None exist.

TRUSTEES

At the end of the financial year there were three serving trustees, listed above.
