achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|We have continued to support organisations in
Uganda whose activities deliver public benefit in
the area where they work and are consistent
with our objectives. The lockdown restrictions,
in connection with the Coronavirus pandemic
had been lifted, largely, by late 2021. As a result
of this, activities were generally back to normal
throughout Uganda. The activity of KRDP has
increased as lockdown was lifted and more
funds became available in UK. The work of KRDP
has continued throughout the year through our
Ugandan partners.
1. KRDP-Uganda is a registered Company Limited
by Guarantee that delivers projects within
Manafwa District. Our approach continues to be,
so far as possible, to use the capabilities of local
people and locally sourced materials to build
new facilities. In this way there is benefit to the
community during the implementation phase, as
well as from the facilities provided by the
completed projects. Our work in 2021-2022 built
on the achievements ofpreviousyears and| includes projects that were forecast in our 2020-2021 report. i. We have continued to support Kimtab Clinic in the provision of nurse-led health, antenatal and maternity care to the entire community. -The Safe Motherhood Programme has continued to provide education in antenatal and postnatal care to women in remote parts of the community, as well as children's immunisation and general health awareness. As lockdown restrictions have been lifted the programme has been holding 8 clinics per month regularly, providing a range of health care services to all age groups. -We have continued to fund the Motorbike Ambulance that is based at the clinic. Our support covers all running costs i.e., drivers’ wages, fuel, repairs etc. which enables the service to be available, without charge, to the local community. It continues to be of great value to the community by enabling expectant mothers with childbirth complications to be transported to Kimtab Clinic and by transporting seriously ill patients to hospital. However, we have concerns over the increasing costs of the maintenance of the vehicle. These concerns will be addressed during the Trustees visit planned for early 2023. ii. The work that was started in 2019-2020, to reinstate the Negina River Bridge, was completed in 2020-2021 and is a great success. The loss of the bridge, caused by heavy rain in late 2019, left people travelling considerable distances to cross the river. The new bridge is large enough to accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, motorbikes and animals. Experience of further heavy rain has identified the need for additional drainage channels. Options have been discussed with KRDP-Uganda and will be progressed further during the Trustees visit in early 2023. iii. Funds were provided for work to complete the new latrine block, at Butta Primary School, that was begun in 2020-2021. This was a project that benefited the primary school after the reopening of the school after Coronavirus. Washing facilities were also included in the latrine block. iv. Also, with Kimaluli High School returning to normal after lockdown, funds were provided for the purchase of new science equipment and consumables. v. We have funded major repairs that were carried out to the underground pipework of the water borehole that had been drilled in 2010. The pipework is now back in good working order and benefits the community. vi. We have continued to provide funds to enable KRDP-Uganda to continue to meet their legal obligations under the regulations which Ugandan NGO's have to comply with to retain their status. This includes the annual report of their activities to the relevant government department. 2. We have continued to support The Foundation for the Development of Needy Communities (FNDC), a registered NGO working in Mbale District with programmes for orphan rehabilitation, clinic-based healthcare, vocational training and special needs education. FNDC has lost a significant proportion of its overseas support over recent years and KRDP's support has been important, as it implements changes to its programmes. As well as contributing to staff and premises, projects we have supported are: i. A donation towards the purchase of a new vehicle. The previous vehicle was 18 years old and was incurring increasingly high maintenance costs, ii. The flooding that resulted from very heavy rains in Uganda during August 2022 led to the devastation of "Nehemiah's Farm". This was a model farm intended to share best practice with neighboring farmers. We have made a donation to assist in the work to reestablish the farm and begin again the work to educate local farmers. iii. We have contributed to the provision of Internet facilities for FNDC. 3. The "Shout Out For The Girls" Project (which we launched in 2017-2018) to provide girls with sanitary protection and avoid them missing several days of schooling per month continued in Uganda and restarted in the UK following the removal of Covid restrictions. The sanitary packs that have been produced, in various locations in the UK, are being collected to be taken to Uganda during the Trustees visit in Early 2023. 4. Personal Donations We have acted as a conduit for individual UK donors, wishing to contribute to the educational or medical costs of people known to them in Uganda. This is restricted to funds we have received from individual donors - no KRDP funds are involved. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||||| |---|---|---|---| |Achievements against

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|
Para 1.47|
The accounts are prepared on a Receipts and
Payments basis.
Funds have been raised from four principal
sources:
1. Presentations to churches, schools, men's
groups, women's groups and other organisations
in various parts of the UK. Donations have been
received from many of these organisations. Our
ability to carry out these activities has slowly
begun to return after Covid. We have remained
in contact with those who have been consistent
supporters and donations have been received
duringtheyear.| |---|---|---| |||2. Donations have been received from numerous
individual donors. As well as those who were
established donors, we also received additional
donations from people who understood that our
fund raising activities have been restricted even
after Covid restrictions being lifted. Wherever
these donors have been eligible, income tax has
been reclaimed on the donations under the
GiftAid scheme.
3. There has been a new donor to support the
work carried out by the Kimtab Clinic and the
outreach programmes through 2021-2022. This
donor will continue to fund this work
throughout 2022-2023.
4. Following the death of a longtime supporter
of KRDP we received a bequest in her will.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
