Our focus of support has always been on ensuring that local village children have access to quality primary** / 2 —— ——— i — **and secondary education. We recognise that solutions to education challenges must be lead by Ugandans, and we work hard to empower the community to ensure their children, particularly girls are in school. In rural Uganda extreme poverty is a reality. 90% of 10 year old children cannot read a simple sentence . Primary schools are dilapidated. Parents keep their children at home to help with chores. Going to a school where there is quality education is every child’s right.** **In June 2023 I was honoured with an MBE for my work empowering girls in Uganda. We were thrilled that Sr Judith, the Headmistress, accepted my family’s invitation and came with us to Windsor Castle to see me accept my MBE from King Charles. She spent two weeks in Bath visiting schools, and donors.** **There is a huge need at other primary schools in Bugweri and at the end of this financial year, July 2024 we changed our name to “RedEarth Village Schools Uganda” to be able to help more primary schools to improve learning outcomes for their children.** THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 5 ## Our Vision : ## “Building a brighter future for Ugandan village children - TOGETHER” ## **What we do:** Since 2009 we have been working in partnership with School Leaderships at two village Schools in Bugweri District - St Michael’s Girls’ Primary and Bishop Willigers Secondary helping to support a diverse range of projects - school lunches, phonics training and literacy, malaria testing and treatment and healthcare. Also building classrooms, kitchens, libraries and toilet blocks. We are hugely proud of the achievements of the staff at the two schools - St Michael’s is the top performing school in the District (68 schools) with over 500 girls and Bishop Willigers Secondary is mixed already with 600 pupils and their UCE exam results are above the national average. Our 5 year plan has now been reviewed and expanded to help more primary schools, building/repairing classrooms, building toilets and kitchen etc Phonics training for their teachers, and funding reading books all with a mission to improve learning outcomes for their pupils.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s constitution, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice. ## **Structure, governance and management.** The charity is a company limited by guarantee and regulated by a constitution dated 15th July 2009, amended on 21st October 2009. The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: Mrs V J Beach Where? Miss F C Beach-MacGeagh Mrs S L Cashley-Reid A Cameron appointed March 2024 Mr J L George retired March 2024 Mrs D M Morrison stepped down March 2024 We would like to thank both trustees who have stepped down particularly Children currently Mary Morrison for her services to the charity. She is a Special Needs helping Teacher and travelled to St Michael’s several times at her own expense to conduct Workshops for the Teachers - focusing on Dyslexia . Although one on one support for SEN children is not possible - helping teachers to identify these children and making all classrooms SEN friendly has been invaluable. The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed Target of children we and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the major risks,want to help in the next including an annually reviewed Child Safeguarding Policy. 5 years THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 9 TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Objectives and Activities ## **Objectives** _To provide grants, loans, and any other means of financial assistance as may be appropriate and such other services as may be appropriate or necessary, to St Michael’s Girls Primary School Busembatia Uganda and its sister school Bishop Willigers Secondary School Busembatia or to any other school, individuals in need, charities, or other organizations working in Uganda to advance the education of persons under the age of 30 by providing and or assisting in the provision of facilities for education accommodation and nourishment of pupils and others at such schools or other organizations in order to develop their mental, physical and moral capabilities and to relieve financial need and suffering among orphans and others and prevent or relieve poverty and enable their ongoing development and sustainability whether caused by natural disaster, trouble, or catastrophe._ The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## **Activities** _To support learning, literacy, school facilities, nutrition, vocational skilling, and health of students, especially girls, at primary schools (particularly St Michael's Girls) and a secondary school within Bugweri District._ _To offer grants and financial aid in partnership with school managements._ _We support skilling of young adults under 30 years old working with registered local NGOs._ THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 10 TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year This year the charity has continued focusing support on St Michael’s Girl’s Primary School in Busembatia, as we work towards an efficient, sustainable, and scalable model for delivering long term impact to other schools within Bugweri District. From this base we provide support to associated organisations and individuals in the locality: this includes individually sponsored orphans, who were once at St Michael’s. We provide significant support to the next-door secondary school - Bishop Willigers Mixed Secondary that is being built from the ground upwards – work commenced in 2009. There was an urgent need for a Secondary School in the sub-county as too many children were dropping out of education post primary. We also support St Michael’s mixed Nursery School Namunyumya (3 years) one of the few pre-primary schools in the village, and certainly the best. THE FRIENDS OF ST.MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 11 ## TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year (cont) ## **Funding & Fundraising** The charity is fortunate in its generous regular supporters: churches, a school, and other organisations as well as many individuals. As with previous years we continued to gain significant support from St. Mary’s Church in Marlborough, St Luke’s Church in Bath, St Francis School in Pewsey, The Sir Harold Hood Charitable Trust, and this year Souter Charitable Trust, Hilden Charitable Trust, Coles Medlock Foundation, Allan and Nesta Ferguson Charitable Settlement and Bourne End and Cookham Rotary Club. We also had a successful Women and Girls Match Fund Campaign through the Big Give. ## **Charitable Activities and Expenditure** We meet our objective funding all projects to which we were already committed and provided funding for new projects - sometimes in a phased approach as donations and grants were received - eg Phase 1 foundations - Phase 2 walls and roof - Phase 3 plastering and painting. St Michael’s girls explaining to their parents the importance of having a First Aid Kit at home. THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 12 ## TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year (cont) Throughout the year we have had discussions in the UK and in Uganda about how best we can help more primary schools in the locality. Our trustee visit in April 2024 was an opportunity to speak to community leaders and school leaderships as to how we can work towards improving learning outcomes at other local schools. ## **Our Plans for the year ahead** We now have a 5 year Business Plan in place and we renamed ourselves from the 1st August 2024 to “RedEarth Village Schools Uganda”– to reflect our expanding support to other primary schools. Our new Mission statement will be **“Building a brighter future for Ugandan village children – TOGETHER” .** Too many children live deep in the villages and we want none of them to miss out on the opportunity of going to school, no matter how remote their homes or how poor their family. THE FRIENDS OF STMICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 13 TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year (cont) ## Schools ## **St Michael’s Girls Primary** We have continued all our termly support and we feel that our partnership with the leadership and parents is working well. The parents/guardians now really get behind supporting the school, ensuring that their daughters regularly attend class and have purchased scholastic requirements. We have noticed that the PTA now raises money to improve the school – which is exactly what we want the school to do, a partnership leading to long term sustainability. We continued our core support – school lunches, medical care for all and the running of the library. The school this year was once again the top performing school in the district (68 schools). Although exam results are just one measure of the success of a school, visits from trustee and volunteers are an opportunity for them to showcase the energy, passion and compassion throughout the school, and we are very proud of the girls – they have a bright future, based on the best possible primary education in a rural African village. THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 14 TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year (cont) ## **St Michael’s Girls’ Primary cont....** This year we funded the much needed painting of all the classrooms and staff room, and a new block of toilets and washrooms within the staff village, as well as solar lighting for the toilet block nearest to the hostel accommodation, and mosquito screening of the Medical Centre windows. We also funded more stools for the library, additional shelving and added more culturally appropriate reading books - African - as we move away from the UK donated books. We also funded 6 e-readers each with over 600 African storybooks loaded on to them so the girls could begin to experience digital reading. ## **St Michael’s Mixed Nursery** It is important the local children can access Pre-Primary. The three years attending Pre-Primary is crucial for early childhood development. St Michael’s Nursery is housed in a building within the school grounds. The rooms are cramped, but the children do have access to water, toilets and an excellent playground all within a fenced secure campus. We fund lunch and materials to make locally made nursery resources, and resources that cannot be made eg Lego type blocks. It is clear that these children are better prepared for the move to a more structured primary education - the girls to St Michael’s, the boys to other local primary schools. We will continue to support the Nursery, particularly with educational resources. All the children have full access to the dedicated Medical Centre and fulltime residential nurse throughout the school day. However we do need to encourage the school not to focus too much on rote learning at this tender age. THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 15 TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year (cont) ## **Bishop Willigers Mixed Secondary School** The school we are building next to St Michael’s is an important part of our work. All sub counties should have a Secondary School but many do not. Too many children throughout Uganda are dropping out of education post primary because there is no local Secondary School. We started building Bishop Willigers on community land in 2009. The number of students has gone up and up and at the time of writing this report in October 2024 the school enrolment is 600. The school is now a registered Exam Centre and Government Grant aided (teachers and support staff on the government payroll). It is pointless for us to support local primary schools unless there is a Secondary School in the community – that is well resourced and offering quality learning, so we have contributed very significant funding this year at Bishop Willigers. The main funding we did this year was the building of a Girl’s Hostel Complex – accommodation, beds, washroom and toilets. There are now 78 girls living in the hostel – and we need to build a 2nd hostel block such is the demand. We have also funded the building of a Literacy Hub and bought over £3,000 of culturally appropriate reading books. Many students have never opened a book for independent reading so we were guided by what they picked to read. Many of the books we bought are Reading Schemes that would normally be used in primary schools – but it is important that the students foster an interest in reading and are not fearful. We also funded the construction of a 3 classroom block with a storage room on the side and desks for 200. The classroom block will accommodate the additional 200 students expected in February 2025. The storage room will be used by **a local NGO who will be starting Vocational Training in Sewing and Hairdressing in December 2024** . The goal is to educate 1,000 pupils at BW Secondary in the next two years.

Our community is nowhere near a tourist area and the women really value our support by buying their crafts. We are also starting to work with a local NGO who will be running Vocational Skilling for the youth from December 2024 ## **Internet** We continued our giving to ensure that Wi-Fi is available to all within the village. We fund the monthly subscription for unlimited data. This funding is much appreciated and builds our relationship with the community. ## **Sponsored Vulnerable Girls and Orphans** We have continued with our sponsorship of a number of girls – The original number of 10 full sponsored girls is now reduced to 3 girls as girls complete their nursing/midwifery training and set off as independent women. We also offer full scholarships including all requirements to a number of girls at Bishop Willigers who have done well at their Primary National Exams - Grade 1 or 2 THE FRIENDS OF ST MICHAELS SCHOOL BUSEMBATIA UGANDA LIMITED 18 ## TRUSTEE REPORT (CONTINUED) ## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 ## Review of the Year (cont) ## **Factors outside our control and relationship with the beneficiaries** We are confident that the funding provided to the beneficiaries is used for the purpose that has been agreed. However, we do not seek to take full responsibility for the way the Schools utilise the opportunity our funding provides to improve the welfare and education of the pupils. Trustees and other supporters visit the school regularly to determine both short-term pressing needs and longer term ones; that is ones which will continue the development of the school and enable its contribution to the development of the local community. The visits have fostered the sense of partnership with the School enabling shared responsibility on the use of grants made. They also provided a means of monitoring the effectiveness of these grants.

The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. ## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to financial statements** Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year. ## In doing so the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence reasonable steps are taken for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In preparing this report, advantage has been taken of the exemption in the small companies’ regime.

The charity is not registered for VAT. Charitable expenditure compromises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. ## 1.7 **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at the carrying value plus accrued interest less repayments. The financing charge to expenditure is at a constant rate calculated using the effective interest method. ## 1.9 **Provisions** Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, if it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period it arises.
