The Trustees met in person in April and
October, and held two shorter online
meetings in January and June. We have
continued to keep a close eye on the
management and financing of the project
work in Uganda. During this year we
continued to obtain direct online input and
participation from our Ugandan Field Director
and his assistant.
There were no tours or Trustee visits to the
field.
Three sponsored walks and a sponsored
cycling event were held which raised over
£10,000.
Total income for the year was considerably
lower than last year at £50,448, £10,409 of
which was raised specifically for Kazuru
gravity flow scheme, our next large project
which was not started during 2022 and for
which funds are continuing to be collected
during 2023. A total of £68,470 was
despatched to the field.
Project management costs in support of the
activities described below were met to the
sum of £28,400. These included
management staff salaries, office and vehicle
maintenance costs, governance training for
the team and the cost of the annual audit.
Direct contributions were sent to the field for
sanitation structures at Kinyasano Hill
boarding primary school and child
development centre (£14,300), the detailed
design of two large gravity flow schemes at
Furuma and Kazuru (£5,400), the protection
of seven low yield springs and an extension
of one of them at Mukugwe (£12,000) plus
£6,000 for general sustainability work,
including repair of springs rainwater collection
guttering and water storage tanks.| £1,464 was spent on administration, publicity and fundraising in the UK, including a successful garden party for our supporters **IN UGANDA** Covid 19 restrictions were finally lifted in Uganda in January 2022. This allowed the team to carry out more health and hygiene education as projects were completed. An independent audit of the programme and accounts for the year ended 30 September, 2021, was funded, and completed in June this year. The Bwanga Hill water and sanitation project was completed and commissioned in March 2023, although the funding for it was sent to the field during 2022. The Ruheza Gravity Flow Scheme was completed and commissioned. Other construction work that was carried out during 2022 included sanitation facilities at Kinyasano Boarding School and at the neighbouring Child Development Centre. Over 2,400 children, staff and family beneficiaries. 6 new springs were constructed at Kakibaya, Namirembe, Rwembogo, Mukugwe, Nyakaina Spring No. 1 and Mabare Low Yield Spring. The spring at Rweminyinya was reconstructed 25 years after its original construction. Within our sustainability programme, apart from the springs mentioned above, many visits were undertaken to existing projects during which repairs were carried out. Local management problems were identified and assistance was given towards their resolution. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
