Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
relationship with any related parties;
trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

Trustees are given a copy of the ALLHIM charity deed and a working practice, which they have to read and be well conversant with. The Trustees must agree with the fundamentals of the statement of faith and agree to the working practice of the charity before their appointment. Trustees must attend a minimum of three meetings per annum. Within the trustee body are three main roles for the day to day running of the charity:

The Chairman who is the founder of the charity. This role is to manage the charity, give it structure to achieve the aims, objectives and fulfil the vision for which it was started.

An Administrator is also appointed who is not within the body of the trustees. This role deals with all the paperwork communication to sponsors, as well as providing general support and taking minutes at meetings of trustees.
Meetings are held regularly throughout the year at which trustees discuss issues and to keep up to date with how the charity is running. The agenda always includes a financial report and a report on work undertaken in Uganda since the last meeting.

A Task Force Group among trustees was formed to review charity systems and policies

ALLHIM works with Mr. Andrew Mwesigwa, their coordinator in Uganda, where the charity operates. Andrew is the Head teacher of Mother Janet Orphanage School, Uganda. This is the school supported by ALLHIM.

ALLHIM also works with Michael Mwebaza who Coordinates its ACTION FOR LIFE Programme in the poor communities of Masaka District where the charity operates. ALLHIM works in partnership with, and supports,

TAR

March 2012

ACYPU ( Action for Children and Young People Uganda ) a NonGovernment Organisation founded by Michael Mwebaza.

Trustees evaluate the progression of the stated objects in the meetings, by monitoring of emails, (including photographic evidence) from Andrew Mwesigwa and Michael Mwebaza. Some trustees undertake (when regulations permit) regular mission trips to Uganda which enables them to gain first-hand experience of how the Charity money has been used and then report this back to the Trustees’ meetings.

Section C Objectives and activities

1) The advancement of the Christian Faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

2) The relief of poverty, sickness and distress
3) The promotion of good health
4) The advancement of education and training
5) Any other charitable purpose

1) The Advancement of the Christian Faith in Accordance with the Statement of Faith

ALLHIM Trustees continue to undertake regular Mission Trips to Uganda where regulations permit.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

ALLHIM works with Action for Children and Young People Uganda, a Non- Government Organisation that, among its purposes, works towards the spreading of the Gospel through actions by showing God’s love to the young people and adults, meeting their basic needs and telling them about God. In the previous years, Christian religious books and Bibles have been distributed via ACYPU to enable young people to know more about God in both primary and secondary schools in the Masaka District.
The Charity continues to support the development of ‘Hope Clubs’ and the number of Hope Clubs have continued to grow. These Hope clubs carry out sporting activities, bible studies and deal with social issues affecting young people. The young people involved enjoy very much the activities within these clubs.
Many of these children have come to know God and have hope for a worthwhile, purposeful life. Various visitors from the UK and Ireland have provided sporting equipment to the school clubs.

2) The Relief of Poverty, Sickness and Distress

The Charity continues to provide money to cover monthly utilities at Mother Janet School, fulfilling the basic needs. Additional money for food is also sent out as and when required. The cost varies from month to month in line with the fluctuating exchange rates.
The Charity has continued to fund the distribution of food to the poor people in the villages of Masaka District, Uganda. The Charity has supported ACYPU through providing funds to purchase pigs and goats for the poor families to enable them to earn a living once they sell these livestock. There are very many poor families who have

TAR

March 2012

benefited from this programme and in addition, seeds have been purchased and distributed for them to grow their own food.
The number of families, who receive continuous monthly support for their basic needs, including food, has increased again this year. This includes an ever-increasing number of families who are struggling to cope with family members who have HIV/AIDS and who desperately need this support. Whilst medication for HIV/AIDS treatment is free, the success of this treatment requires the additional nutritional support we provide.
Small, but efficient, kitchen spaces continue to be constructed for very poor families who had no cooking area available to them.
• The charity continues to provide funds for a dentist who is employed to attend the orphanage once a month.
We have continued to provide the monthly wages for the employed nurse who resides at the school to work at the clinic.
The water tanks at the school are regularly treated with appropriate additives to ensure that the water is safe for use within Mother Janet School. This has greatly reduced the incidence of typhoid within the school community.
• More donations have provided for members of poor families to have surgical operations and appropriate follow-up medication.

3) The Promotion of Good Health

As stated above, water guard tablets to purify the water, are being purchased on a four monthly basis to treat the water that children drink at Mother Janet. This is having a very positive impact on reducing infection.
ALLHIM provides regular malaria medication for the children in Mother Janet Orphanage and the fulltime nurse continues to tend to the daily medical needs. Regular testing for malaria is funded by ALLHIM through the purchase of the testing kits required.
Every child at Mother Janet School has a mosquito net, and all pupils at the school receive regular dental check-ups.
Medical Camps were held in partnership with the local health centre where over 1500 people with various illness were treated in the villages of Kalungu District.

4) The Advancement of Education and Training

The right for all children to be educated in accordance with the Human Rights Act 1998 legislation remains one of ALLHIM charity’s primary focuses.
Throughout the year, the charity has once again continued to extend the support for orphaned and poor children in Uganda to have an education through the charity’s child sponsorship programme.
• The number of sponsored children and young people from Nursery to university age who are now sponsored through ALLHIM is increasing.
• A number of college students completed their courses and are now in employment.
• ALLHIM charity through partnership with ACYPU has continued to help those children from the poor families in the local villages who were forced into prostitution and robbery, back into education by providing scholastic materials and uniforms.
• Utility bills have also been subsidised by ALLHIM to enable electrical equipment to be used by pupils and staff at the school.
• More buildings have been constructed on the site where a secondary and vocation School is being built to enable children supported by the charity access skills which will help them compete in the employment Market.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Prior Covid-19 ALLHIM trustees were undertaking regular Mission Trips to Uganda. This has not happened since 2019. It is hoped that with the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions some trustees will be able to travel to Uganda again.
There was an appeal for food and medication due to the shortage caused by corona virus pandemic. ALLHIM charity raised a significant amount of funds which was transferred to Uganda for this purpose.

Section D Achievements and performance

TAR

March 2012

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Support and developments at Mother Janet School

Much of this financial year, the school has been disrupted by the pandemic and its related lockdown restrictions. Less learning has taken place in Mother Janet; learning was only accessed during the periods where restrictions were lifted. ALLHIM charity has supported the children who stayed in Mother Janet School and formed their own bubble. The school continues to manage teachers’ salaries well through educating some fee-paying children who supplement the donations from ALLHIM.
Class rooms were refurbished
Windows and doors were finally fitted in the school hall/dining hall which was rebuild, plastered and painted last year.

Child Sponsorship Programme

There was a drop in the number of children being sponsored during this year due to the affects of corona virus pandemic because of the decrease in some sponsors’ income.
Continued support for children with disabilities who were denied education due to the high cost of the education establishments that would be suitable for them. They continue their education in residential special schools.
The charity continues to meet the costs for the National examination board registration fees which are charged on every child who sits the final exams in both primary and secondary school.
Still this year a few sponsors have found it difficult to continue their support but new sponsors continue to be found for those children in most need.

Further Support through ACYPU

The Pandemic has had a massive impact on people’s health. Funds were collected and sent for individuals involved with charity to have Covid-19 vaccinations, PPE and sanitation equipment.
• Many more children have been able to access education though the support sent to ACYP to buy them scholastic materials
More families are being supported by providing them with food, seeds to grow their own food and pesticide.
Food supplements for the families affected by HIV to enable them to take medication.
Disabled children in the community have been supported to attend school regularly by provision of fees and materials. These pupils are making excellent progress where they were previously unable to attend.
Again, more families this year who were previously supported have become self-sufficient and are now in a position to support others within the local community.
More projects have been established in villages. These include; micro financing, hygiene, tailoring lessons for girls most of whom are HIV positive.

Secondary School Project

Finances were sent out to build a further 2 buildings which will be children’s dormitories and all the 14 classrooms built in the last financial year are now plastered and floored.

TAR

March 2012

Section D Achievements and erformance p

The D.E.O. (District Education Officer) and his team have inspected the site and recommended the further equipment to be placed in the buildings ready for the school to be registered by the Ministry of Education in order to start.
More finances have been raised by the charity for this project and further developments will be underway at the school site.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the

charity’s policy on reserves

The Trustees still maintain that the agreed sum of £2000 should be kept to cover urgent medical, social or safety issues which may arise. This sum is to be reviewed quarterly, based on circumstances and the finance available

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

The Charity’s funds still come from 3 main areas:

1: Promotion :

Trustees visit churches and other organisations to promote the work of the charity.
Regular newsletters are distributed to supporters and other contacts.

2: Friends and Work Colleagues:

Promotion of the charity to friends and work colleagues has resulted in greater awareness of the problems faced in the region where ALLHIM operates and of the activities and objectives of the charity to meet those needs.
Many of these colleagues continue to help with fundraising events such as concerts and cake sales.
Also funds are raised through individuals giving to charity in place of birthday/Christmas gifts/cards.
These colleagues are also involved in bringing in new sponsors.

3: Gift Aid:

By promoting gift aid in our literature, supporters who pay tax have agreed to gift aid their donations. This has been a great blessing to our source of funds.

Expenditure Supporting Key Objectives

By promoting more specific projects, the Charity has been able to increase “project specific” funds, geared to the current priorities.

Advancing the Christian Message.

As a result of the support and the funds raised, the charity representatives in collaboration with ACYPU have been able to go into small towns and villages in Uganda where people have not heard of Jesus before to spread the message.

The Relief of Poverty, Sickness and Distress.

The Charity has continued to distribute food to the poor people in the villages of the region of Masaka District, Uganda.
Giving nutritious supplements food for the HIV Aids affected families
• Distribution of seeds to the poor families to grow their own food and sell the surplus.
The Pig and Goat project run by ACYPU where the charity encourages sponsors to give a pig or a goat to a poor family so that they can rare them and sell the piglets to earn a living.
Medical camps were held and so many local people accessed a day clinic for the treatment of common tropical diseases and medical advice.

TAR

March 2012

A dentist is still employed to attend the orphanage once a month. The charity has continued to provide wages to employ a nurse to be resident at the school to work at the school clinic.
Some donations have provided for members of poor families to have surgical operations, AIDS treatment and appropriate follow-up medication.

The Promotion of Good Health

ALLHIM provides regular malaria medication for the children in Mother Janet Orphanage.
Every child at Mother Janet School has a mosquito net, and all pupils at the school receive regular dental check-ups.
HIV Aids victims are supported by taking them to clinics and providing food suppliments

Funds were raised to support those children with TB to be treated.
• A successful response to a financial appeal for Mother Janet founder, Margaret’s follow up treatment following a major back operation.

The Advancement of Education and Training

This has been achieved through our child sponsorship programme - enabling primary and secondary education for those children.
Better facilities at the school have enabled the quality of teaching and learning to increase.
As a result of support and training from Trustees during the annual mission trips, academic results at Mother Janet School have improved significantly.
For the last five years, every child in the Primary 7 class has passed their Primary Leaving Examination enabling them to progress into Secondary School.
More young people are being sponsored in colleges

Section F Other optional information

The Secondary School project is still a priority for the Charity as too many pupils of secondary age drop out of school due to lack of support and funding.
