						entirely or for some groups only. There was
						some element ofteaching "on-line" but
						largely for older students.
						AGLMUK had already moved the 30children
						that it had sponsored in particular to another
						local school —known as Wakiso Town
						Primary School. These children were
						particularly impacted and all were boarding
						at school prior to closure. Most ofthem had
						secure homes to which they could return but
						three were "lost" until they were tracked
						down by AGLMUK. Two were temporarily
						housed in the home ofa support worker until
						a room could be rented close-by,
						AGLMUK supported approximately 26 young
						people in secondary education by paying
						school fees and all associated costs such as
						uniforms, clothing and school requirements.
						All ofthese students had to return to
						relatives for at least part ofthe year and
						some were able to learn on-line. 13students
						were supported through university and 20
						others are being assisted to undertake
						vocational training ofvarious types.

whole.					but they weren't there long before all schools
					were closed by the Government. The co-
					ordinator for the primary school children has
					worked to support those children as the
					circumstances have changed. Some children
					had to be located after they had left the
					homes to which they had been returned.
					These have been housed in rented rooms
					where they can be supported properly. The
					primary school re-opening has been
					sufficient to provide for the Primary 7classes
					to progress to examinations and so some
					students are anticipated to move to
					secondary education during 21/22. More
					progress has been seen in the secondary
					and university levels and some students
					have successfully completed their respective
					courses.
					AGLMUK fully funded the provision offood
					at Bulabakulu/WCSH during 2014,2015and
					2016.The trustees took the decision to seek
					to withdraw from Bulabakulu by the end of
					2022 and to therefore seek to gently reduce
					payments for items such as food in order to
					get the Ugandan partners to seriously plan
					for self-sustainability. This programme of
					reduction commenced in 2017and
					continued incrementally —until the school
					management decided to take a new
					direction. This change effectively closed
					WCSH and the need for food has been
					reduced to cater only for a few families that
					were left stranded at Bulabakulu. Covid 19
					lock-down, however, brought new
					challenges and AGLMUK has been able to
					respond by providing food for some ofthe
					families in greatest need, in and around
					Bulabakulu.

High school fees have been paid for 26
children and 13students sponsored at
university (some only partly). Fees have
been paid for 18students on vocational
training courses - nursery teaching,
electrical installation, catering, tailoring,
construction, graphics, computing, nursing,
business, laboratory technician and mass
communication courses. Apprenticeship
fees for 2 people are being met in hair
dressing and small appliance repairs.
In addition to this, start-up grants have been
given to 2 individuals to enable them to start
their own business (retail and bike repairs).
A regular supply ofmedicines, clinic fees
and the provision ofa nurse are provided for
all the children and young people supported
and the clinic building at Bulabakulu is still
available for consultations and emergency
accommodation.
Progress has been restricted due to covid19
pandemic and several courses and income
generation ventures are on-hold pending
better times. There is money reserved in the
bank account ofAGLMUK and once colleges
re-open properly, activity will re-commence.
This year has been one where the focus has
largely been on "getting through the tough
times".
