THE KANYIKE PROJECT
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the Trust are to advance the Christian faith in Uganda, to relieve sickness and financial hardship, to advance education in Uganda and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods, services and support of any kind in Uganda.
Significant activities
The projects to be supported are identified by a Non-Government Organisation established in Uganda under the name KAINSUDE and requests are made to The Kanyike Project for funds in accordance with a pre-approved plan to support the work in Uganda. A two-year plan had been established and supplied to the Trustees in the UK by the Trustees of KAINSUDE. The second year of this plan is now complete. A new plan will be requested following a return to a more normal time after the pandemic.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the Activities
During the year the Trust has undertaken fund raising again with the limited success as itemised within the accounts. The Trustees are very grateful for the support that has again been received from the 'Big Give Christmas Challenge' and various other kind individual donations.
During the year the Trust has once again, along with other charities, suffered as a result of the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic. This has severely impacted the ability of the Trust to rase funds to continue to support the Project in Uganda. Much of the fund raising that is undertaken is via schools and Parishes both of which have continued to see activities curtailed as a result of the lock downs. We are fortunate that we do have direct support from regular supporters via Standing Orders and also the Big Give was once again a strong financial support.
As a result of the difficulties faced, by the Charity in fund raising, a decision was made by the UK Trustees after consultation with The Kanyike Project (Kainsude) in Uganda in 2020 to reduce the activity levels in Uganda to a level which would be sustainable over a twelve-month period. Following a review of costs in Uganda it was agreed that the Trust would fund £2,500 per month for the following twelve months. This would allow all existing staff in Uganda to be retained and for the services being provided to continue but on a scaled down basis. This also to conform with regulations around Covid that were introduced by the Ugandan government. As a result of this decision, it was acknowledged that reserve funds would need to be applied this was the case and currently this policy continues to 2022..
-
The HIV/AIDS, Community Based Health Care and medical outreach programmes continue on a reduced basis, when movement between the villages is permitted.
-
The school borehole has been of great value to the school and to members of the community living nearby but it is not accessible outside school hours.
-
The Maternity Unit has been fully equipped and is still able to care for and admit those expecting a baby.
The Ugandan Government put in place very strict regulations following the outbreak of the pandemic and, fortunately, as a result Uganda has managed Covid relatively well with very few instances within the scope of the Project. This has continued in 2021.
The plastering of the school walls in the block where a new roof has been replaced in Magejjo Primary School has still to be done and along with other capital projects remains unfeasible currently..
An office and storage area needs to be built adjoining the Nursery. More play equipment for the pupils is required at the Nursery.
Capital expenditure has been curtailed during the year as funds were being rationed to cover day to day activities. Repairs to buildings will again be required as and when funds become available.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The Ugandan Government has shown an interest in the work being done in KAINSUDE and are sending officials to see how they can help but they will all be setting some conditions. At the moment negotiations are taking place between both parties but are delayed due to Covid.
The future of the Project will remain susceptible to being able to restore fund raising activities within the near future.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The Charity invests its funds to obtain the best return available considering the requirements of the Charity to meet regular funding requests from KAINSUDE.
Reserves policy
The charity had been aiming to retain sufficient reserves to meet the approved budgets for salaries and capital expenditure following a critical review of the two-year plan 2019-20 submitted from KAINSUDE which was subject to variation and change. The Trustees were setting aside funds to create a reserve fund to ensure that the Charity would not be entirely dependent on fundraising in the future. With Covid 19, however, these funds have had to be utilised to cover the everyday running of the Project.
It is recognised that the project's goal of self-sustainability is a major challenge and it will take generations to achieve, however each year progress is being made.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Trust is governed by a Charitable Trust document and was registered with the Charity Commissioners on 1 May 2009 and the registration number is 1129385.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The trust deed stipulates that there must be at least three trustees. Any trustee needs to be appointed by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special meeting. Trustees are selected with regard to their skills, knowledge and experience required for the effective administration of the charity
Risk management

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE KANYIKE PROJECT
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Kanyike Project
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Kanyike Project (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
