SAAKOT
REPORT OF ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR 2023 – 4
Overview
During the period assistance has been provided for: Bibian’s Glenna; Nakayiza’s family grocery; Allen, her son Ryan and nephew Anthony; Agness and her daughter Maishara Kimberly; Grace; Rosette and daughter Jade; Kazibwe Trevor; Minisifah and her daughter Magezi; and Febby, Emmanuel and Erica Chiboola, and single mum Nakimoli and her two children
It was not possible to visit Africa this period.
Very slow progress continues to be made with projects involving Amos Kawesa and no compensation has been received from Fredrick Mutengesa. The latter continues to be denied any standing in his home church however.
We continue to receive requests for assistance, particularly from single parents. Currently it is beyond our means to assist.
Projects
The Government has apparently put a control on tree felling, for environment preservation reasons. This affects our eucalyptus plantation.
Nothing has yet happened to restore the dwellings at Makindye or to develop the land at Nakawuka.
The petrol station embezzlement dispute is awaiting judgement.
The land purchased in the vicinity of Kings Hill School has been sold and the process used to assist Febby and Emmanuel Daka and their sister Erica
The farm in Zambia has enjoyed good weather this period and the maize harvest is good. It was however important to complete harvesting as quickly as possible to minimise theft. Church members assisted for a fee allocated to Church building funds.
The sale of Allen’s Rwanda house appears complete and we await full results.
One of our sponsors, Ms Gray, died, we learned, just before the commencement of this period. Though we had understood that our Grace was a beneficiary, nothing has yet been forthcoming.
News of our People
Kazibwe Trevor did not receive sufficient funds (due to embezzlement by Fredrick Mutengesa) to continue his study at Kyambogo Technical College. Ditton Lodge continued to assist him at a German Course, it being understood that he may obtain work in Germany.
Allen is not the only of our beneficiaries for whom the worry of single motherhood leads to serious ill health such as stomach and other ulcers. Medical costs remain a heavy burden on our funds.
Vicky has been following a couse, currently working on an implementation project and expects to graduate this July. She is now General Secretary of the Association of Surgeons of Uganda.
The grocery business scarcely manages to feed the Nakayiza family, which causes great concern.
Stella Narva’s career with Flexipay, a Mobile Money platform of Stanbic Bank, continues.
Febby has perforce left the distant boarding school and returned to the family farm near Mpanza whence she cycles to a local secondary school. Her brother Emmanuel attends a school in Choma associated with the Anglican Church.
The Zambia Sojourn
The outcome of the theft of money from me in Lusaka was tragic. Apprehended, the thief committed suicide. Then her mother died and the family farm was awarded to the Chiboola family on my behalf.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees for the Period ended 31 March 2025
I report on the accounts of St. Andrew and Anthony Kampala Orphans Trust (SAAKOT) for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on the following pages
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.
