| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To relieve poverty, sickness and distress and to provide access to education amongst orphans and vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa. We partner with organisations that promote tracing, re-linking and reunification of children in their families and extended communities wherever possible. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Victory Child Care Project (VCCP) is a childcare institution providing a safe and loving home for orphans and vulnerable children on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda. Our charity's primary objective is to raise funds to support VCCP in its work to provide these children with access to education, healthcare, and other essential services. The funds we raise are utilised to: • Cover school fees, food, and medical care for the children at VCCP. • Assist in reunifying children with their families or foster families. • Support the Community Education Support Project (CESP), which sponsors local children's education. • Provide emergency medical aid through health support programmes. • Distribute food hampers and gifts to local Ugandan families at Christmas. We raise money for VCCP through general fundraising activities in the UK and individual sponsorships. Donations are directly transferred to VCCP to ensure optimal care for the children. When feasible, we also allocate funds to support VCCP's expansion and development. Beyond our support for VCCP, we occasionally assist other similar non- governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in Uganda. This assistance includes advice, encouragement, and, in certain cases, financial aid. We firmly believe that every child deserves a safe and loving home. Our commitment lies in helping the children at VCCP and other Ugandan NGOs reach their full potential. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | As Trustees of the charity, we are committed to ensuring that all funds are spent in support of the key objectives of the charity and in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. During the financial year, we have spent funds on the following activities, which are all aligned with our key objectives: • Providing food, shelter, and medical care to orphans and vulnerable children. • Providing educational opportunities to orphans and vulnerable children, including school fees, uniforms, and supplies. • Supporting the tracing and re-linking of orphans and vulnerable children with their families. • Providing food hampers and gifts for Ugandan families at Christmas. |
We have also had due regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have ensured that our activities comply with the key principles of this requirement. These principles state that charities must:
-
Benefit a significant section of the public.
-
Be for the public benefit.
-
Not be political or religious in nature.
-
Be accountable and transparent in their activities.
We are confident that we have met all these requirements and that our activities have been in the best interests of the beneficiaries of our charity.

| Policy on grant making |
Para 1.38 | Tŷ Cariad Africa is a charity that supports partner charities and NGOs (Non- Government Organisations) operating within sub-Saharan Africa with similar values to us. We do not award grants based on applications or requests, but we may sometimes provide financial support from our unrestricted funds to partners who are working to improve the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in the region. In addition to financial support, we also look to either support or receive support from our partners to strengthen the joint impact of our work. This non-financial support can include, but is not limited to: • Management support • Financial and accounting assistance • Project management • Project delivery • Sharing of funding news • General encouragement Before supporting any projects, we take the time to develop relationships with our partners, conduct financial due diligence to ensure full financial accountability, and draw up a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines the responsibilities and procedures of both parties. We believe that by working together, we can make a greater impact on the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa. |

Para 1.20 | We are delighted to report that we were able to sustain our support and services throughout the financial year ending March 2025. In thefinancial year ending March 2025 we raised a £69,071.47, a drop in income from 2024 of £25,333.85. VCCP raised £20,462.16 towards their costs, which is an increase of £9,902.29 on the previous year. Here is some more information about specific projects. VICTORY CHILD CARE PROJECT – TY CARIAD, NAMUGONGO, KAMPALA, UGANDA (VCCP) • A total of £71,642 was spent on overseas work in Uganda during the financial year. This was an increase of £5,809 from 2024. £71,610 was sent to Uganda using Equals Money, and £31.80 was spent in the UK purchasing baby milk formula which was taken in person to Uganda by VCCP’s Country Director’s husband after a visit to the UK. Exchange rates for the £71,610 sent to Uganda ranged from 4,426 to 4,868 (UGX/£). The total UGX received into the VCCP bank account was 333,505,802 which equates to an exchange rate of 4,657 UGX/£ (down from 4,698 last year). This exchange rate is used in all calculations for this financial year. In real terms, the funds transferred to Uganda were worth £630.45 less this year than if we had sent the same amount last year. • Victory Child Care Project has continued to work closely with the Ugandan Police and the Ugandan Government to provide a safe haven for children who have been abandoned, lost, or trafficked. These children come to stay at the Children's Home while social workers and police search for relatives. At the start of the financial year, there were 33 children living at the Children's Home. During the year, 13 children were admitted for care; 10 children were reunified with family members, of whom 4 children require ongoing financial support for medical bills and school fees, and 6 children require no further financial support. One child exited the support system from the Home. The financial year ended with 35 children living at the Children's Home. During the financial year, 4 children exited the support system as they either completed their education or started work. Of these 4 children, 2 were previously reunified with support, 1 was reunified without support and one exited from the Children’s Home. The project is committed to providing a safe and loving home for all children in its care. It works tirelessly to trace and re-unify children with |
their families, and to provide ongoing support to those who cannot be reunified.
- Education Costs - we provide education support for children living at the Children's Home, children who have been reunified or fostered, and children in the local community.
The school year in Uganda runs from February to November, so our financial year covers Terms 2 and 3 of one academic year, and Term 1 of the next academic year.
In the 2024 academic year, we supported 78 children with their education by paying school fees and contributions towards their school requirements as and when needed. At the end of the 2024 academic year, a number of children's support ended:
-
1 child supported under our Community Education Support Project who graduated from Primary 7 (support is provided up to the end of Primary School)
-
1 child left education after completing Senior 4 (O level equivalent)
-
2 children left supported education after completing Senior 6 (A level equivalent).
-
2 children graduated from Vocational College
In 2025, we are supporting the education of 73 children:

The total cost of education (school fees, requirements, and scholastic materials for the children from the Home and the local community children) was £17,994 this financial year, up £1,736 from the previous year.
We are committed to providing access to quality education. We believe that education is the key to a better future for children, and we are grateful for the support of our donors who make this possible.
-

In total the food packages provided for 283 children and adults;
-
to pay for more maintenance work at the Children’s Home in Uganda.
In raising these funds, there were bank charges of £52.06.
- The social work team has been in regular contact with the children and families supported outside of the Children's Home throughout the year. They have visited them with food parcels, education support packages, and have carried out assessments and counselling as and when required.

May 2024
11 caretakers were supported with funds for income generating projects. The grants ranged from £64 to £129, with a total of £945 being distributed.
The purpose of this project is to improve their financial status at a household level so that they can better support their families. Some of the recipients used the capital to start businesses, and others used it as additional capital to boost their existing businesses.
Their businesses have really grown and there is a great improvement on their living standards at a household level.
Here are two impact stories from this project:-
Alice operates a stall. She sells assorted groceries and is happy that her business is progressing well. She keeps track of every sale in her business and can ably save at least 3,000 ugx a day (£0.64), an estimated 90,000 ugx per month (£19.33).
From her savings, she has managed to buy a goat at 250,000 ugx (£54) and is glad that it has produced two
kids. She looks forward to seeing her goat rearing project grow.
Violet runs a stall. She sells firewood, charcoal and groceries. She is happy that her business has grown. She tracks records of her sales each day and can now cater better for her family’s needs.
From her experience, groceries and firewood bring in more profits. She also plans to increase on her stock with produce of fresh beans, sweet potatoes and cassava from her garden.

A summary of this year’s challenges:-
- VCCP has identified it’s top 3 challenges for the year, and also how it combats these challenges in order to provide safe environments for all the children it works for and on behalf of. • Most families in the community within the Community Education Support Project (CESP) and those where children have been reunified with family members are living in extreme poverty. They can hardly meet basic needs of quality education, medical care, decent shelter and some survive on only one meal per day.
VCCP has addressed this challenge by supporting 11 most vulnerable households with funds to run income generating projects to boost their earnings, and to eventually stand in a better position to care for their families.
- Tracing attempts for children’s families - especially for total abandonments - are ongoing. With many cases there isn’t a lot of clear information regarding the child’s origin, either here or from the referring agencies at the police and PSWO offices.
VCCP is in touch with the New Vision company to support in the advertisement of children’s details in the Saturday newspaper to help in the identification of their families.
- VCCP is challenged with the identification of committed foster parents especially for boys and older teenage children.
VCCP is working hand in hand with Probation, Social and Welfare Officers (PSWOs) to have this challenge addressed. Engagements with church members at Victory Christian Church regarding fostering is ongoing.

Para 1.41 | We are pleased that we have been able to sustain our level of service and support, but we have also continued to evaluate our support levels and impact. We will continue to do so in the years ahead to ensure that we are better placed to make a more significant difference to the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa. We are building on the foundations already laid, and as we continue to strengthen our supporter base, both personal and corporate, we hope that we will be in a better position year on year to support more children and create a lasting impact on their lives. We are committed to providing these children with the care, education, and support they need to thrive. We believe that every child deserves a safe and loving home, and we are working to make that dream a reality. |

| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 | Finances have been raised mainly through word of mouth and through existing contacts. Gift Aid totalling £8,531 was received in the financial year. This was less than last year, but expected as donations were down on the previous year. All funds spent during the financial year have been in support of the key objectives of the charity. |
| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | Tŷ Cariad Africa does not have any investments, and therefore, has no investment policy. |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | Tŷ Cariad Africa continues to strengthen its regular giving and increase its one- off donations. This is necessary in order to continue supporting the work of the Victory Child Care Project (VCCP). |
Since 2018-19, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our financial support for our partners other than the Victory Child Care Project (VCCP). This was done in order to protect our funding for VCCP, which is our main project and the one that we believe has the greatest impact on the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in sub-Saharan Africa.
No financial support was given to other partners during the 2024-2025 financial year. We continue to monitor the situation and explore ways to increase our support for other partners in the future.
The amount of money required by Tŷ Cariad Africa to support VCCP depends on the exchange rate between sterling and Ugandan shillings. The exchange rate has been stable for a number of years, and we monitor it regularly.
As always, we will monitor all relevant situations and respond swiftly with due diligence to do as much as possible to limit and reduce risks as they arise.
We will also closely monitor and explore any ways in which we can increase donations and decrease costs over the coming years.
A review is held annually to look at how best we can provide sustainable support for VCCP in the years to come.
