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.

ACYPU through providing funds to purchase pigs and goats for the poor families to enable them earn a living once they sell these livestock. There are very many poor families who have 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.

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 are held in partnership with the local health centre where hundreds of people with various illness are 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.

Section D Achievements and performance
| 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 safe bubble. The school continues to manage teachers’ salaries well through educating some fee-paying children who supplement the donations from ALLHIM. • Class rooms were revamped • 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 coronavirus pandemic reducing some sponsors’ income. • The charity continued the 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 appropriate sanitation equipment. • Despite the pandemic, the volunteer base for ACYP has increased enabling more support to be provided for those in greatest need. • 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 pesticides to support the crops. • Food supplements for the families affected by HIV to enable them to take medication. Over 2000 people are supported regularly in this way. • 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. • Homes in communities have been renovated (including new roofing where required) and mosquito nets were provided for families thus helping to reduce the need for medical intervention. |
