We have continued to support organisations
in Uganda whose activities deliver public
benefrt in the area where they work and are
consistent with our objectives. The work of
KRDP has continued throughout the year
through our Ugandan partners.
Summary of the main
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
KRDP-Uganda is a registered
Company Limrted by Guarantee that
delivers projects within Mana￿a
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 benefrt
to the community during the
implementation phase, as well as
from the facilities provided by the
completed projects. Our work in
202>2024 built on the achievements
of previous years and includes

projects that were forecast in our
2022-2023 report.
i. We have cortinued to support Kimtab
Clinic in the provision of nurse-led health,
antenatal and maternty 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. The programme has been
holding 8 clinics per month, regularly
providing a range of health care services to
all age groups. The programme sees over
1000 patients each month. We have
continued to fund the Motorbike Ambulan
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.
The concerns about the increasing costs of
the maintenance of the vehicle were
addressed during the trustees visit in
January 2023. A major overhaul of the
vehicle was undertaken in early 2023,
including a new engine, and this has led to
the Motorbike arnbulan￿ service being
much more reliable.
ii. We have had a new security fence erected
around the clinic. This meets the
requirements of the District Medical Officer
and k￿pS the clinic more secure.
iii. The access for the Motorbike ambulance
has been improved, which obviously leads to
greater comfort for the patients as they
arrive at the clinic.
iv. We have paid the registration fees For the
Ugandan Private Midwives Association.

v. The final instalment was paid for the
refurbishment of the old latrines at Butta
Primary School.
vi. The Nalondo Butta Primary School has
had an increase in pupil numbers, and we
have therefore provided desks for 220
pupils. These have been made locally.
vii. Being aware of the flooding and heavy
rains that have been experienced in recent
years, funds were made available to build
additional drainage channels around the
Negina River Bridge. The final phase of this
has now b*n completed. The drainage
channels that have been added provide
improved protection for the bridge.
viii. Funding has been provided for more
Protected Springs. One has been completed
and construction of the second is due to
begin at the start of this financial year.
ix. 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 to
retain their status. The annual fee includes
the annual report of their activities to the
relevant government department and an
audit of the accounts. This provides NGO
accreditation.
x. We have continued to develop our
association with Kumi Hospital where we
obtain Orthopaedic services for, initially,
children whose needs are brought to our
attention. We have funded three operations
at Kumi hospital. The necessary supportive
footwear has been provided by Mbale
Hospital and paid for by KRDP.
We have continued to support The
Foundation for the Development of
Needy Communities (FNDC), a
registered NGO working in Mbale
District. 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:
. We have continued to help with the FNDC
vehicle by paying for ne￿SSary repairs.
ii. We have continued to support Nehemiah's
Farm. The solar-powered system at the
Farm, that we funded, has needed repairs
and we have facilitated this. This provides
lighting for the farm buildings.
iii. We have continued to contribute to the
provision of Internet facilities for FNDC by
paying for the WIFI
The "Shout Out For The Gids"
Project (which we launched in 2017-2018) to
provide girfs with sanitary protection and
avoid them missing several days of
schooling per month continued in Uganda
and has been held in different locations in
the UK over the last year. The sanrtary packs
that have been produced, in various
locations in the UK, have been collected
ready to take to Uganda when the Trustees
next visit.
4.we have continued to act as
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.

The Trustees have noted the continuing attention being paid by regulators to the need for
charities working intemationally to ensure funds are used for their intended purpose. Our
project procedure, written in 2011-2012, describes how we establish the purpose of a project
before we approve the funda that are needed. It sets out the confimation we expect to
receive. that the project concerned has been completed satisfactorily and that funds have
been used for the intended purpose. We have worked to this policy since it was written and
we believe it continues to provide satisfactory controls of funds donated to organisations in
