THE KANYIKE PROJECT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. 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 were previously made to The Kanyike Project for funds in accordance with a pre-approved plan to support the work in Uganda. The previous plan was completed but since Covid and the challenges with both the War in Ukraine and the economic downturn the charity have been concentrating on maintaining the staffing and running costs. A new plan will be requested following a return to a more normal time after the current issues that are restraining fund raising have eased.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Review of the Activities

During the year the Trust has undertaken fund raising once 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, alongside the support of Churches and Schools.

During the year the Trust has once more, along with other charities, suffered as a result of the worldwide economic downturn, following the war in Ukraine. 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 continued impact of Covid 19. 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. Individual donations and fund raising by schools have also enabled the work to continue and we remain very grateful.

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 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 continued in 2022 and now into 2023

What needs doing still-

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 2022

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 continue.

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 all the challenges around, Covid, War and the economic downturn 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 continues to be 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

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

KAINSUDE has safeguarding policies and have written documents regarding 'Child Protection', 'Adult' and 'Staff Protection Policies.' They also have a 'Health and Safety Policy'.

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 2022.

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').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
