SAAKOT

REPORT OF ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR 2021 – 22

Overview

The slow recovery from COVID in the 2021 -22 period has still been marked by business and health difficulties and the Charity has been quite unable to meet all the requests made upon us. Worse still, schools take their fees, to pay their teachers, but provide no education. Thus our kids miss at least a year, often two.

Contact with our people in Uganda has remained almost exclusively via Wotsap. But it appears I still have a ticket to fly. This I hope to do in October. However the political situation in Uganda remains grim, with many of the Security Forces seeming to have gone feral.

We did in March get to Zambia and spend time with children Febby, Emmanuel and Erica. I got to preach in the Choma Anglican Church. In this visit I discovered that there was a dearth of books, especially those for children. This being the case they can also be a tad expensive. I will be watching out for secondhand children's books as I may have a way of getting them flown to Uganda and some forwarded. Light of Africa Lodge directs most of its charitable efforts to Kampala School for Handicapped Children, which no doubt also needs books.

Nakayiza's grocery shop has required support in various ways. Typically in Africa in times of severe crisis such as has been the pandemic many people “go to stay in their village”. Thus there have been fewer customers. Particularly awful and expensive has been Vicent's loss of a kidney. Fortunately he is at last helping with the business again but surgery and recovery took a long time.

Shocking news recently from Kings Hill School, Kyampisi. Of the joint Heads Richard and Keziah Kiggwe, Richard was shot dead leading a geological field trip in Kenya.

During the course of the year we were horrified to learn that Mutengesa had again been elected to a position in St Andrews Church. He had apparently apologised for his past misdeeds. I protested to the Church elders, also to Bp Samuel, since there had been no indication of an intention actually to make amends to those he had wronged. The outcome is he no longer has a post in the church.

News of Our People

Despite the difficulties, our successes in the education field have enabled Dallen to enjoy a lengthy lecture tour in USA, Vicky to take time out in South Afica and Namanda to land, after a course learning German, a position as a Nanny to a Horse Dealer family in Germany. It is noteworthy that whether as a permanent career or a stopgap, the purchase of fashion items wholesale such as clothing and accessories and hairpieces, and their resale is a frequent course of action and source of income. Minisifa (Bunny), Aline (Allen), Darline (Dallen), and Namanda have all used this route. Aline's hairdressing and accessory sales business stutters along whilst her health has remained patchy. She was able to spend time in Rwanda and obtain confirmation of her right to property. There is a snag, which will hopefully expire: she has been required to fund the university education of a cousin from rent from the property.

We have supplied B Nankinga and Daughter Glenna with some of the means to open a caterng business – not a cafe or restaurant - from home. She is delighted.

Likewise, we have assisted R Nalwanga to purchase, at last, her own home and to set up in a photocopying business.

Typical of the COVID problems, Kabonesa's garage mechanic husband Simon has been laid off.

Kazibwe Trevor's education has been delayed to the extent that, He will be 20 years old this year but he is only in S5. COVID and Mutengesa are responsible but this situation is not uncommmon. Promotion to S6 next year is contingent upon his passing the annual exams. The health of his Grandma (guardian) could be better.

Esther's husband Simon has left UCU and now lectures at Makerere.

After many years silence, Judith Namwange of Buwama has again got in touch. Many years of surgery might have been more effective had, once again, Mutengesa not purloined moneys sent for her. But she is in good spirits. Needs work, and more treatment, of course.

The two students from Buwama, Joyce and Jeremiah have resumed studies at Kings Hill. Grace is now also back at school.

J Nakiwu’s beauty treatment business in South Africa has been doing well. She married a disk jockey and has a child.

Daniella also has a son, kindly named Anthony after yours truly. The father, however, died of COVID.

J Mbabale is now a dad and his career is running smoothly.

Investments

The Eucalyptus project: The trees are still growing and Amos has been ensuring the weeding. Potential buyers have been making what Amos considers inadequate offers. As COVID recedes so the country’s economy improves and Amos reckons that soon offers will meet expectations.

Makindye Dwellings: Kampala City Council has still not deepened the stream which flooded. Amos has no refugee tenants in the dwellings now and hopes to rebuild them on a higher plinth.

Nakawuka Land: With new roads having been built in the area the value of the land has increased, but we still hope to build there.

Petrol Station Dispute:

COVID still delays progress.

Land associated with Kings School, Kyampisi: Whilst the future use of the land for a dwelling is still COVID delayed, I gave permission for the land to be cultivated to benefit the school. The harvest from this would be better but for a colony of monkeys. We still have to register title.

Conclusion

COVID has ravaged Uganda and it's certainly not our people alone who are suffering. Help is still needed.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees for the Period ended 31 March 2022

I report on the accounts of St. Andrew and Anthony Kampala Orphans Trust (SAAKOT) for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out between pages 3 and 7.

The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(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 14595(b) of the 2011 Act
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions 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 or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any 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 is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) 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 not been met or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
