Chair’s Report – Jean Ajin

It is with great pleasure that I bring to you the Annual Report of the Mityana Charity for 2020-2021.

Last year has been full of ups and downs but thankfully, you, our supporters, have continued with your support to our families in Mityana. They have been through hardships of hunger and COVID, although the latter hasn’t been as devastating as we imagined. Thank you all for your support with helping us provide two cycles of food aid.

Fortunately, all our staff, sponsored children and their families have kept safe from the virus. The sponsorship programme now supports 306 children plus 27 grandmas/ guardians. The grandmas/ guardians are encouraged to use their money to develop a project which will help sustain them and their dependants in the future. Thank you to those who sent money to buy food for Christmas and or a gift for their child.

Our team at PaCT (Partners for Community Transformation) were at the forefront of going with health teams to help the local villagers understand COVID and install simple tippy tap water dispensers. They also trained the children so they could return to their families and teach them.

The Resource Centre was used during the epidemic where candidate (national examination) students came to have lessons taught by teachers, whilst others used online materials or text books to revise.

The Business Incubation Centre (BIC) is equipped and now awaiting those students who are just completing their training. They will be given the opportunity to develop their tailoring and baking skills, along with learning how to run a business.

Our main achievements have been the building of one maternity ward, with a second one under construction, plus two clinics along with providing latrines, water tanks, furniture and medical equipment. Thank you to the two donors who provided the money to build them. They will certainly help keep the mortality rates down as the pregnant women can have regular checkups and deliveries much closer to home.

As part of the WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Project we have provided three water tanks, one to collect water off the roof at a clinic and two at two primary schools. Two sets of latrines have also been provided.

The Human Rights & Prison (HRP) Project is continuing to help reduce violations of women and children’s rights. During my last visit, I attended a school debate concerning how human rights violates Ugandan customs – I was amazed at the eloquence of the children.

As yet, we haven’t been able to further develop the community and training hall at PaCT’s facility. Any donations and fundraising gratefully received. Once this is up and running, this hall will permit some local fund raising by PaCT .

We have managed to install a security system at PaCT’s facility as we thought that it is important to help protect our investment in buildings and equipment.

The PaCT monthly reports, which are sent to us on a regular basis, highlight any safeguarding issues which have arisen and identify the actions that have been taken. The PaCT staff are also engaging with the schools, our sponsored children attend, to ensure that prompt action is taken to address any safeguarding issues.

I cannot thank you enough for your continued support to the Mityana Charity. Without you we would not have continued to help improve the lives of so many people in the last 26 years. We greatly appreciate the contributions made by sponsors and donors, school and church groups, fundraisers, companies and volunteers.

Many thanks go to the many donors who provide substantial funds to support the sponsored children, and to those listed below who have made major contributions either by giving their time or making large donations. The dedication of our trustees here and our Ugandan team has made this charity very special. I want to particularly thank Jo Riddaway for all her help with the secondary and tertiary sponsorship. Jo is still part of the sponsorship team but is handing over the secondary responsibility to Helen Thompson. Pat Barton, who has been a trustee for many years and a great fundraiser has decided to resign but is still continuing to help us. We thank her for her valiant efforts.

Treasurer’s Report – Bob Riddaway

Finance – Mityana Charity Accounts

As shown in the final accounts, income in 2020/21 financial year (1 March 2020 to 28 February2021) was £230,535 with expenditure of £205,556 giving an in-year surplus of £24,979. The income was larger than usual for two reasons.

Information about the funding of individual projects is covered in the project reports, but the following are some explanations about the situation at the end of the 2020/21 financial year.

Once the in-year surplus has been taken into account, the “Unrestricted Reserve” carried over into the 2021/22 financial year is £14,714.

The following provides some details about the funding of non-project items.

Effort goes into ensuring that there is sound management of the charity’s finances.

The gift aid coming from donations plays a key role in funding the non-project costs (primarily staff and the associated running costs) in Uganda which are required for the charity to operate effectively. All donors who are eligible to give gift aid are encouraged to do so. The gift aid form can be obtained from http://mityanacharity.org/files/gift_aid_form.htm. Completing the form will allow the charity to claim 25p of gift aid for every £1 donated, but has no impact on the personal finances of donors.

The trustees would like to thank all our donors, big and small, as every pound makes a big difference to the lives and wellbeing of the people in Mityana.

Charity Organisation and Operating Processes – Nigel Birch/Jean Ajin

Mityana Charity is registered and compliant with regulations of the Charity Commission beta.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=1064825&subid=0

The Charity is run by a committee whose membership includes trustees of the Charity. Various committee members are designated Project Leaders for the main areas of work funded by the Charity.

The Charity works with PaCT (Partners for Community Transformation) formerly named as Mityana (Uganda) Charity. It is a Ugandan registered NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) which manages the projects in Uganda. The relationship between the Charity and PaCT is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding.

The Charity has no paid employees within the UK but supports the employment of an Executive Director and other administrative staff in Mityana who manage projects funded by the Charity. The UK Project Leaders monitor progress with projects based on monthly reports provided by PaCT. PaCT also carries out projects that are not funded by the Charity.

6

UK Trustees and Committee Members

The Charity’s trustees are members of the UK committee elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Also, there are a few members of the committee who are not trustees – they can contribute to overseeing the activities of the Charity without the additional legal responsibilities of being a trustee. Due to the small number of committee members, there is no formal process for selecting and vetting trustees. Those who want to serve on the committee are personally known and trusted. The trustees are responsible for the running of the charity according to its Constitution and the Law and ensure that all decisions taken are based on sound judgement. They ensure that financial accounting and monitoring of the Charity’s work is at a high standard.

The minutes of all committee and specific trustee meetings are fully documented. These are referred to when carrying out the annual financial review. The trustees are responsible for the approval of the statement of accounts.

Public Benefi

Public benefit in the UK relates to the Charity’s interaction with its donors, sponsors, charitable foundations and churches that have an interest in the Charity. These relationships help to communicate and inform a wide audience about developments in Uganda in particular and Africa in general. Also they provide a opportunities for individuals and organisations to support international charitable activities in an efficient and effective way.

Public benefit in Uganda is provided by the community projects that have been funded by the Charity and executed through PaCT. The Mityana community clearly benefits from the projects funded by the Charity. These projects align with the aims and objectives of the Charity.

Administration and Communication

Our new computerised database, with the overall objective of making the administration of the Charity more efficient, is complete allowing more people to take responsibility for various elements of the administration, rather than being totally reliant on just a few key individuals.

The system will focus on sponsors, donors and other interested parties and we hope that the new system will allow us to:

We have had generous offers of Corporate Sponsorship from two organisations (Mandeville Recruitment and The Flatman Partnership) to cover the annual costs of running the system this year.

PaCT have a separate database which holds all child-centred data. It aims to improve the way we update sponsors with news of their sponsored children. All reports, letters etc are online in the Ugandan database. Sponsors have been informed of their unique number and password. Please let us know if you are unable to log in. The whole system has been redesigned and you will now be able to reply to the letter your child writes.

Data Management Systems, Data Protection

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect after 28 May 2018. It is essential that anyone who wants to receive our standard communications (e.g. newsletters, AGM invitations and Annual Reports) satisfies the GDPR requirement. Please go to www.mityanacharity.org/mailing.php if you do not receive the standard publications but would like to do so.

Sponsorship Report – Jo Riddaway

Food aid

Uganda was subjected to a very severe lockdown from March 2020 which included all markets and small trading.This left a large proportion of our sponsored children’s families destitute and unable to buy food as most of them are dependent on small trading to obtain any cash.When told of the desperate situation of so many families we put out a plea for food aid.Within a few weeks we were generously given £8,423 and PaCT was able to buy large quantities of corn meal and beans which were allocated according to the size and means of the family.One of our generous donors provided an additional £7,500 so it was possible to provide even more food. Thankfully the government relaxed the rules after a while and allowed the markets to reopen.

Impact of lockdown on educational institutions

The lockdown from last March included all educational institutions. However, the President decided that the prospective candidates for public exams (P7, S4 and S6.) should still sit them but one term later than usual. So students taking exams went back to school for a late Term 2 starting in September and they have had Term 3 followed by exams in March.To remain Covid secure, all these children had to board at school with their teachers, not returning home even at the weekend. We were able to cover most of the additional costs for boarding from unused fees on each child’s account.

Before the return to school of exam candidates was announced, we decided that our candidate children should have some educational support. So, from June until schools opened, we paid for:

In addition, on-line learning was arranged for the three candidates studying for nine different A level exams. Students from non-candidate classes were able to access government teaching materials and text books available from the Resources Centre.

The schools have slowly been reopening for all pupils towards the end of March 2021.Universities and vocational colleges have also restarted. We have heard that schools have been increasing their fees, but we are not yet sure what that will mean for sponsors. PaCT’s sponsorship team will do all it can to keep any increases to a minimum.

Other sponsorship activities

The focus of the sponsorship programme is to support the educational development of our 306 sponsored children. However, there are various other activities and initiatives that are an essential part of the programme.

Safeguarding Report – Jenny Penfold

There have been no specific Safeguarding issues recorded this year. However there are several ways the staff at PaCT have been alert for issues arising. Obtaining food was a problem when restrictions to movement and access to markets and garden was first introduced and staff worked hard to help the more vulnerable, especially after receiving extra funding following Jean's appeal.

Counselling/mentoring was offered to a few children/parents where children were being difficult at completing set homework or otherwise behaving inappropriately. Staff were concerned at the rise of pregnant teenagers in Uganda during lockdown, many of these pregnancies resulting from abuse. Counselling was held for the older girls and one girl in a situation which left her particularly vulnerable had individual attention and staff made sure she went back to school(P7) and were looking at her situation when she finishes.

The PaCT staff are to be congratulated on their alertness to potential problems.

– Business Incubation Centre Jo Riddaway

The Business Incubation Centre (BIC) was set up to help our students who have graduated from vocational colleges gain more experience with the skills they have developed at college. At the same time, they would learn about business management so that they are more able to set up viable businesses. Once fully established, it is intended that the BIC will be self-sustaining.

A grant from the Hilden Charitable Fund was used to construct the BIC building in the grounds of the PaCT offices and the initial setting-up of the tailoring and baking sections. Additional funding from a variety of donors means that in 2021 the BIC will be fully functioning.

Two vocational graduates have been hired to manage the BIC and, despite the huge limitations of the pandemic lockdown, the baking section is now providing all the food needed by the PaCT employees. The tailoring section has also just started making clothes for the employees as well. In future, the BIC will have a business registration which will allow the selling of its produce on a commercial basis within Mityana. Eventually it is hoped that the BIC will provide useful training and employment to many students.

Building Projects – Ajin House and Raglan Hall – Richard Tudor

The move was indeed successfully completed, and PaCT now has its own Offices and resource centre for use by the charity’s sponsored children and students.

In the past year this has been enhanced by the construction of the new Business Incubation Centre (BIC), also known as the Hildens Business Hub, recognising the charity’s support in the construction of this facility. This is a secure working building for use of start-up businesses. The first of these has been one of the ex-sponsored beneficiaries, Nansereko Teopista who completed her certificate in fashion and design from Gayaza Technical and Skills Development Centre building on her expertise.

It is hoped that her business will expand into providing uniforms for PACT’s partner schools.

The Resource centre within the Ajin Building is partially fitted out, but additional funds are still required to provide additional resources for the use of our sponsored students and children.

The aerial photograph above shows the partially completed Raglan Hall, with the New Business Incubation Centre and part of the Ajin Building to the left.

Meanwhile the fundraising is ongoing for the Raglan House Training Building – the foundations were laid and the walls built, at the same time as the Ajin building. These have now been reinforced with columns and the concrete ring beam that will ensure stability of the walls. Funding has so far been provided by Raglan House Wellington College, but donations are sought to progress this project, which will permit some local fund raising by PaCT.

Human Rights and Prison Project – Diane Simpson

PaCT aims to contribute to a harmonious society that respects Human Rights and the related Acts of law. This is done through creating awareness, engaging communities and local leaders to appreciate and uphold their roles and responsibilities in addressing challenges and violations related to human rights.

UK funding for Human Rights and Prison (HRP) Project has been very much dependent upon the impressive fundraising activities of Orange House, Wellington College. Their long-term commitment to this project has been greatly appreciated. Due to the turbulent year, we have all had, this may unfortunately not be able to continue in its current format.

The outbreak of COVID 19 together with the unrest around the Ugandan Elections has seen a totalban on public gatherings. This has had a significant effect on the realisation of the targets for the projects within the Human Rights remit. The staff, however, have used this time to design the work plan and to discuss implementation strategies with stakeholders.

During lockdown and in agreement with Wellington College some funding for HRP P roject was diverted towards food provision to families and children most in need. Maize flour and beans were provided to Namutamba Rehabilitation C entre to support children with disabilities and the homes of children affected by HIV under the Aids Support Organisation.

Land Awareness Project

At the end of 2020 PaCT successfully secured another contract with GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit) .

Building on experience of previous land projects it is aimed at creating awareness, engaging communities and local leaders and increasing land productivity by facilitating a harmonious relationship between tenants and landlords, with particular emphasis on engaging women and promoting their rights.

The project aims to ensure that over 80% of the land conflicts are effectively dealt with thus allowing more time and energy to be focussed on land productivity.

The project implementation has been slowed by the COVID 19 crisis but some socially distanced meetings have still gone ahead and PaCT staff have planned ahead and have been very well prepared to quickly reinstate activities once lockdown was eased.

The project is currently focusing on appreciation of each other’s rights outlined in the Land Act by various means detailed below:

11

The type of conflicts and issues addressed are inheritance/succession, boundaries, illegal tenants, fraudulent/wrongful sale, deprivation of land rights, forceful evictions, rent refusal and deliberate land grabbing.

Promotion of Children’s Rights

PaCT liaise and engage with different schools with the aim of helping and empowering children to know their rights and become responsible citizens. Activities are aimed at skill and knowledge development to promote awareness, and encourage appropriate assertion through advocacy. PaCT have a monitoring function to assist in develop ing of annual plans, facilitat ing activities and arranging guest speakers. There is also indirect communication with the management of schools in regards to safe - guarding issues.

Activities have been on hold due to COVID 19 restrictions.

Prison project

COVID 19 has widely spread across the country and had a big impact on prisons, in response the HRP project has engaged different prisons on matters of prevention strategies, as well as continuing to provide advice on legal issues and prisoners rights.

Prisoner’s rehabilitation

The project aims at promoting the welfare of the prisoners as well as facilitating their rehabilitation through training and meaningful activity, such as arts and crafts sessions. There continues to be particular emphasis on women and on their skill acquisition by providing training for future employment, for example in the use of k nitting m achines and the process required to complete an item of clothing. All the money raised through sales goes back to the garment maker.

Mityana and Myanzi P risons have been unable to work in the fields this year so they have been well supported during the year with knitting materials to continue both engaging women and men.

WASH ( Water, Sanitation and Hygiene ) – Projects Hugh Wakeling

This year has been another good year for WASH Projects, and we want to thank all of our sponsors for their provision of funds to enable us to do the following WASH Projects:

1. Water Tanks have been provided to harvest rain at the following three locations:

Nassanga Primary School Finchampstead and California PCC St Mary’s Bekiina RC John and Linda Marjot and St Sebastian’s Church Primary School Kalangaalo Maternity Unit Andrew and Sarah Dodd

2. Four-door Latrines have been provided at the following two locations:

Kalangaalo Primary School Finchampstead and California PCC Kalangaalo Maternity Unit Andrew and Sarah Dodd

The water tank at Nassanga Primary School The latrines at Kalangaalo Primary School

Thank you to all who contributed funds to make these facilities possible.

Health Projects – Hugh Wakeling

It is with grateful thanks to those who have contributed the funds that we have been able to build one Maternity Ward at Kalangaalo Health Centre, and a second one is now nearing completion at Mpenja Health Centre. In Uganda infant mortality is far too high and sometimes the mothers do not survive childbirth. This is largely because the provision of maternity facilities is often inadequate, and sometimes non-existent.

Andrew and Sarah Dodd visited Kalangaalo Health Centre and were horrified to see the lack of maternity facilities there. At this Health Centre there was only one ward for both men and women patients, and nowhere where a mother could actually deliver a baby. They were kind enough to take on this challenge and they have financed the building of the Maternity Ward at Kalangaalo Health Centre. The new building was opened in December 2020, and here is a picture of the completed facility:

The story at Mpenja Health Centre is similar and it was clear that a Maternity Ward was needed. In this case Claire Choudhury has very kindly provided the funds for this second Maternity Ward and construction is now well under way. See the picture below:

Fundraising Activities – Jean Ajin

The committee acknowledge Pat Barton’s continued hard work, raising much needed extra pounds from the various fundraising activities and thank her and her fundraising team for their efforts.

Fundraising

Well done and a big thank you to Laetitia Jenkins, a 5th former at Orange House, Wellington College, who raised £1,122 by cycling with a relatively high resistance on her peloton bike the distance of approximately 232 kilometres which is the distance between London, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Wellington College. It meant she cycled 16.5 km each morning before school.

Congratulations to Gareth Carr, housemaster at Raglan House, Wellington College, who ran 25km to raise funds towards Raglan Hall in Mityana. He raised £1,810.
