Jinja Educational Trust: Annual Report for year ending 31st December 2021
A huge Thank You for standing by us during these most challenging of times. Despite Uganda having the longest school closures of any nation during the pandemic, we have been able to offer the schools and orphanages continued support. This has only been possible because we have had you beside us all the way.
We provided fruit and vegetable seeds and saplings, teaching the children and staff good agricultural practices.
Fresh produce was given for lunches and will be available at the reopening of schools in January.
Regular meetings, staff training for all schools with our Jinja team, supported by the UK teachers, has ensured we are well prepared, motivated and ready to welcome the children back in 2022.
Despite the schools being closed for over 18 months we have been very busy making sure the schools are improved, well maintained and offering inviting safe learning spaces for all.
With generous support we were able to install solar power in Twinkle school and get the resource centre online. This will enable the schools to access online learning and ensure the children are not reliant on daylight to learn.
The future of JET is exciting we have plans ready to rebuild the Twinkle nursery. The children, ff d i h ll b l d N ill b d b ild h

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Jinja Educational Trust
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] December 2021.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsibile for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 114(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general direction given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclousres in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report of limitied to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have no been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
