Government 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. During this reporting period, trustees visited Uganda in March- April 2023.

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

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)

• 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.

• 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 distribute 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 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. However, as was the case last year there has been a setback in the harvest of food grown because the rains failed after families had planted the seeds.

• 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 and ALLHIM Senior 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 as well as TB 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 and ALLHIM Senior School. This is having a very positive impact on reducing infection.

• ALLHIM provides regular malaria medication for the children in Mother Janet Orphanage and ALLHIM Senior School. 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 and ALLHIM Senior school has a mosquito net, and all pupils at the school receive regular dental check-ups.

• 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.

• ALLHIM Senior School was opened in February 2022 and the number of children attending the school continued to increase throughout the year. The school offers both academic and practical skills subjects.

• During this reporting period (In February 2023), a further 2 dormitories for both boys and girls were constructed to accommodate the growing number of pupils that joined the school. Beds and mattresses were also provided for the pupils.

• Children and young people continue to be sponsored from Nursery to university age 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 being built to enable more children supported by the charity access skills which will help them compete in the employment Market.

• The growing number of pupils in ALLHIM Senior School during this reporting period meant more room to study was needed. A temporary classroom area was created by purchasing marquee tents. However, more classroom buildings are under contraction which will be reported on in the next financial year. Extra desks and other classroom furniture were also provided.

• A security system has been installed in ALLHIM Senior School and the addition of further fencing has provided a safer environment for the pupils

• Extra teachers have been employed to teach the growing number of pupils.

• Solar panels were installed in both dormitories and classrooms to provide power and lighting at ALLHIM Senior School.

• The established projects in the villages continues to thrive. These include; micro financing, hygiene, tailoring lessons for girls most of whom are HIV positive.
