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,

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 2024.

Section C Objectives and activities

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.

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)

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.
In this financial year, a Christian fellowship for staff was started and bibles were donated to all individuals attending the fellowship
The Christian Union group in ALLHIM Senior school is now very strong and attended by over 200 pupils. They share with each other the gospel and also have guest speakers who have included the Bishop of the region and other senior Christian religious leaders in the district.

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. There appears to be an increased unpredictability of the rainy season where the communities have faced long droughts and are unable to plant crops as planned. This has left many families without enough harvest and lacking 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 and ALLHIM Secondary 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. In this financial year, funds were raised for the children and their families who were affected by the TB wave that swept across the region where ACYP operates.

3) The Promotion of Good Health

In this reporting year, significant contributions were made to improve access to clean drinking water within the community. Essential supplies such as water purification straws and a purified water storage tank were donated, ensuring that families could rely on safe and hygienic water for their daily needs. These resources not only addressed immediate concerns but also strengthened long-term resilience against waterborne illnesses.
To further extend the impact of this initiative, an additional spare unit was provided. This measure was designed to lengthen the period during which clean water could be consistently supplied, offering the community greater security and sustainability in their access to this vital resource.
In previous years and continuing up to the present date, 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 Secondary School. This also is having a very positive impact on reducing infection.
ALLHIM provides regular malaria medication for the children in Mother Janet Orphanage and ALLHIM Secondary 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 Secondary 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 Secondary 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.  In addition to a further 2 dormitories for both boys and girls which were constructed last financial year due to the growing number of pupils in the school, more classrooms were constructed in this financial reporting year (2024).  The pioneer group of pupils in ALLHIM school took their first National Exams in October -November 2024. They all achieved passes with excellent grades.  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.  We reported last year about the growing number of pupils in ALLHIM school and more classroom buildings were under contraction. The classrooms were completed to the roofing stage, with windows and door frames. Black boards were also fitted for the pupils to start using the classrooms. More desks and other classroom furniture were provided.  The security system was installed in ALLHIM school last year and further fencing fitted. This continues to provide a safer environment for the pupils.  More teachers were employed to teach the growing number of pupils.  Solar panels that were installed last year in both dormitories and classrooms continue to be a great asset to provide power and lighting for the ALLHIM school especially where the children need to study in the night.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Support and developments at Mother Janet School

Classroom as dormitories were painted
Child Sponsorship Programme
The child sponsorship programme continues to be one of the major projects run by ALLHIM. Many children are still in need of sponsors.
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
During this reporting period, many families have been supported by ALLHIM Charity through ACYPU to access TB medication. TB continues to be a huge problem in the villages this year.
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, 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.

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

1: Promotion :

Trustees visit churches and other organisations to promote the work of the charity.
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
