The agenda always includes a financial report and a report on work undertaken in Uganda since the last meeting. A task group of three trustees was formed in 2021-2022 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** 2 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 annual 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. - Some trustees have continued to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in the villages and churches in Masaka District, while others have fulfilled their role in more practical ways in the local community. **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.

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.

**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.| |---|---|---| **TAR** March **2012** 6 ## Section D Achievements and erformance p - 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** - As stated in Section 3 above, the work at the secondary school site has progressed very well.

(District Education Officer) and his team inspected the site and recommended further equipment to be placed in the buildings ready for the school to be registered by the Ministry of Education in order to open for pupils. - Following completion of these recommended works the school was able to be registered and the school officially opened oin January 2022. - More finances have been raised by the charity for this project and further developments will be underway at the school site as funds permit. **TAR** March **2012** 7 ## **Section E Financial review** The Trustees still maintain that the agreed sum of £2000 should be kept **Brief statement of the** to cover urgent medical, social or safety issues which may arise.

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. - 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** 8 - A dentist is still employed to attend the orphanage once a month.
