Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Steady fundraising has allowed us to provide
funds for expansion of a school for the
project that we support in Uganda and allow
them to expand their program for intake of
new students.
As part of the grants we have provided, the
money has been used to help relieve poverty in
the Namawongu area of Kampala, Uganda by
providing child and adult education and
resources necessary to feed and clothe people.
During the pandemic, Uganda kept
schools closed for an extended period.
The trustees authorised grants to provide
food and medical support to the families
of children enrolled in the school, the
staff and their families and local support
in the Namawongu area.
