Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024. 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 relief of poverty among people in Uganda and surrounding countries in particular but not exclusively by: a. The provision of education and training;
-
b. The provision of micro finance; and
-
c. The conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment.
-
To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.
-
The advancement of the education of the public in the United Kingdom, especially young people, regarding poverty and the needs of those in poverty in Africa.
-
To further such other charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine.
Mission Statement
We have developed a mission statement as follows:-
Led by faith, together we enable our brothers and sisters in Christ to sow seeds of hope among communities in Uganda - developing leaders of integrity and empowering groups to overcome poverty and injustice through fellowship, training, projects and microfinance.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its objectives and future activities. Publication of the charity's activities on its web site and active engagement of the supporting churches in the mission leads to greater understanding in both communities.
Grant making
The charity undertakes its work by making grants to Amaha We Uganda - a locally constituted Non Governmental Organisation ("NGO"), based in Kasese in south western Uganda.
Grants are made for a variety of purposes including -
-
Supporting the local administration costs of the NGO team
-
Approved project expenditures
-
Micro finance loans to Women's groups
Volunteers

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Mission visits to Uganda:
Our last Trustee mission was in late May 2023, when a group of Trustees visited Uganda to meet and review matters with the local team. This enabled us to review the work of the NGO team and reset priorities. However, since that time the Foreign Office has strongly advised against travel to the Kasese region due to incidents on the border with DRC. We hope that this position will be relaxed shortly to enable us to plan a further visit in 2025.
During the year, grants totalling £48,504 were made to the NGO comprising the following:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The Charity was launched in 2012 and since that time, grants of some £308,000 have been made to the Ugandan NGO and its forerunner CBO. The NGO Support grant goes to support the work of the Mission team in the form of salary and expenses and the rest goes against projects demanding attention at that time. During this period, the NGO has become registered with the Ugandan authorities, it has supported up to 42 Women's groups (each of 20 people) and engaged in trialling various projects - most recently the replanting of Trees. The progress on each project is discussed below.
Our support can be analysed as follows:-

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Over time, it can be seen that our support has varied; the two biggest changes are the lack of recent property and infrastructure items (now that the Office / Library is acquired and equipped) and the start of the Grace Ministry work from 2019. These changes can be shown as:
The spend on our current projects can be summarised as follows:

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Since the ravages caused by Covid-19, considerable progress has been made in restoring and growing our Mission.
Revolving Fund / Micro finance loans:
Following the full forgiveness of loans outstanding at the time of Covid, we have set a target to raise £10,000 within two years to replace these loans. To date we are more than half way there having raised £5,453.
From data supplied by the NGO, the write off of the Covid loans was some UGX 42m (c £9,300). Since we started the fund raising project a further UGX 18.6m loans have been advanced and UGX 7m has been repaid. As at 30 June 2024, the outstanding loans amounted to UGX 29m (c £6,500).
Women's Groups:
Women's groups remain a key means of encouraging and working with the local people. These groups of up to 20 women meet weekly, usually on Church premises. Following the mission in 2023, there are now 39 groups who are meeting regularly. Fundraising efforts over the last 12 months have resulted in over £5,000 being raised towards replenishing the revolving loan pot. Our target is £10,000 over a 2 year period so year one target has been met. So far this year 106 women from 12 groups have benefitted from the revolving loan pot.
William (our director) sent a video in which he reported that the women are doing well and those recipients of the loans have promised to spend the money wisely. The team continue to meet with the groups in fellowship and monitor the loan repayments.
Video testimonies were also received from some of the women in which they expressed their gratitude for being recipients of those loans and how they had spent the money to restart their businesses after covid, and how this would benefit their families.
The NGO team are continuing their visits to women's groups to facilitate re-starting of businesses and regular meetings - to encourage the women's groups and their leaders to keep up the impetus following the conference and put the learning into practice.

Street Boys
Since the mission in 2023 the boys continue to do well. The three boys who were given tools to enable them to be for motor cycle mechanics continue to work at the garage and are now earning a living. Two boys are working at the link bus garage and are being paid. One of those boys is washing cars there and is trusted to collect the money from the customers. Five boys are roasting and selling chickens in the market and are now able to feed themselves. Hamis, whose driving permit was renewed, has been allowed to drive taxis. Godfried continues to make and sell shoes.
The most important aspect is that these boys are now a trusted part of their local communities. The team have been meeting with the remaining 41 street boys every week. These boys also would like to gain skills and to work.

Support for Women from Customs Post
This year, a generous financial gift was donated specifically to support a group of young women in Customs who were living precarious lives: homeless and vulnerable. Their opportunities were extremely limited. Their testimonies confirmed they were scared, involved in activities they did not want to choose and had lost all hope. These girls now meet with Miriam, one of our NGO team, who mentors them regularly. They are beginning to see there could be a future.
We were able to restart the Good Samaritan Skills Centre and 5 of our ‘sisters from Customs’ agreed to live at the centre and be trained in hairdressing and tailoring. They were fed and looked after for the duration of the 3 months training period. Other local girls from around the centre were also taken onto the training programme. The girls have all graduated. Another financial gift meant we were able to provide start up kits and three months rent for the girls from Customs, hopefully providing a new future. Their testimonies show they feel they now have hope.
The other girls in Customs want the same opportunity and we expect to enrol 5 more in the programme when the new Autumn term begins. (5 being the number we can accommodate living at the centre).

Tree Nurseries:
By June 2024, 888,400,000 saplings had been delivered to the surrounding community for planting. New tree Nurseries were planted ready for handing out seedlings towards the end of 2024. This will ensure our target of 1,000,000, since beginning, will have been reached by the end of 2024.

AMAHA WE UGANDA (UK).
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Amaha We Uganda has 3 nursery beds and have a partnership with the South Rwenzori Diocese for a further 3. The shared nurseries are up in mountainous regions where the trees are much needed. Native trees are now being planted to hold the soil and provide shade in areas where coffee and cacao is grown and fruit trees are planted.
There is much greater understanding within the communities as to why trees are so vital and many more people are planting trees on their land. Once the seedlings are handed out they become the property of the recipient. These saplings are monitored by the team. Whilst some seedling failure is anticipated, to date there is a 90% success rate.
Handing out seedlings for planting po
Grace Ministry for a Moses-Like Generation:
The Grace Ministry is supporting 31 orphans in South Rwenzori in 2024 by covering their school fees (and other costs from time to time) thus enabling them to have better employment prospects when they leave school or college. Some of the students have now completed their education and gone on into employment and have been replaced by others. Student ages range from 15 to 22.
This year, 6 of them completed their senior education and have gone on the university supported financially by the Grace Ministry. This is adding to the cost of our support by an additional 30% in 2024. Financial support comes mostly from one individual but also increasingly from a church in Andover and a number of individuals connected to it. For the longevity of this ongoing funding it will be important to widen the support base.
There are also many more orphaned students that we are not yet able to help but it is hoped that we can do so more and more in the future.
Three times a year the team in Uganda meet with the students for a day and, once a year, for a 3 day conference, to assess their needs and motivation and to encourage them.
Their progress is monitored at the end of each term and we receive a progress report and feedback on each one as well as quarterly accounts and budget figures.
Amaha We Uganda Achievements in the last 12 months:
To underpin the work of the Charity, the Trustees continue to be engaged in the following activities:
- Continuing our support for Women's groups and Street Boys and exploring how to help Girls

AMAHA WE UGANDA (UK).
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
-
Continued to promote and develop Tree nurseries and planting projects.
-
We have remained in close communication with the Amaha We Uganda NGO team in Uganda and received many photos providing evidence of the ongoing work.
-
We have continued to maintain and update our website - regularly changing the format to make it more user friendly.
-
William from the NGO team continues to join in church zoom meetings at St Mary's Ash Vale and sends us videos on WhatsApp to keep the UK trustees well informed about all projects.
-
We have started to support young women in Customs Post, near Bwera – and introduced them to our Good Samaritan courses.
-
We have re-started the trade schooling at the Good Samaritan Centre; the first two groups have now graduated.
-
We have widened the support for the Grace Ministry and now have 3 additional donors to augment the generous support of the main donor.
Fundraising activities
During the year, we held fund raising appeals and successful Supporters evenings focussed on our Tree and Revolving Fund projects. We have also agreed with a donor to re-allocate funds previously held as “Val Mission costs” and “Good Samaritan” to re-opening the training centre for the first time post Covid. We had a stall at the Shepherds Market (Church of the Good Shepherd) which raised awareness of the charity and raised additional funds. We also continued to promote trees as Christmas gifts.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The principal funding sources are i:) the parish and parishioners of Wisley with Pyrford and ii): the parish and parishioners of St Mary's Ash Vale. During the year £17,520 (2023 - £13,218) was received from these sources including the sums raised for specific project funding and from gift days. The uplift is partly attributed to a very successful Shepherds Market fund raise at Wisley with Pyrford and increased special funding from Ash Vale.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Outturn for the year
The year shows a shortfall of income on the Unrestricted fund of £1,313 (2022 - £2,719 surplus) before inter-fund transfers. The running costs of support were in line with expectations.
As reported last year, we no longer seek a local contribution to the NGO costs; instead we limit the NGO budget needs to the running costs of the NGO solely. All other expenditure on projects, such as Trees or the Revolving Fund, are raised by special appeal. In addition, to recognise the management of projects, 10% of all project grants is attributed by the NGO, with our agreement, to the organisation's admin and support costs.
The current level of support for the NGO indicates a need for £13,000 - £16,000 per annum to cover administration and other support costs and further sums for projects as and when approved. This has proved possible with the continuing generous support of the parishes of Wisley with Pyrford and Ash Vale. Support from Wisley with Pyrford is reviewable at the end of 2024.
We have been gradually building our support basis and now have 17 Regular donors committing £1,381 per annum including Gift aid.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
Reserves policy
The Trustees aim to have sufficient funds in hand to cover 12 months operational work by the local NGO or approximately £16,000. The current level of unrestricted and designated funds is £19,201.
As the Charity currently has no UK or management expenditure (apart from its website and trustee insurance), this policy enables us to provide some assurance to the local Kasese team.
The restricted funds of £7,843 represent monies raised by supporters of the Charity for specific projects not yet paid over or allocated. This has reduced considerably during the year as we applied the restricted funds to projects on the ground in Uganda, in accordance with the donors' wishes.
FUTURE PLANS
We continue to focus our support on maintaining the support for Women's groups, Tree Nurseries and starting to replenish the revolving fund for Microfinance loans following the Covid losses. In addition, subject to future funding we would like to see the Good Samaritan Centre continue to develop. Accordingly, the Trustees have agreed to continue their focus during 2024/25 on:
-
Continuing to enable women's groups to re-start and develop their small businesses with NGO Team's help.
-
To continue to develop the tree nurseries in each archdeaconry through providing the funds for the initial cost. To continue with training recipients of the saplings on maintaining trees.
-
To continue to feed the street boys and support the NGO in their attempts to reunite boys with their families.
-
Plan further fundraising to restore the revolving fund for Micro Finance loans for women.
-
With the generosity of our donors, seek to expand the focus of work with Street Boys and girls at Customs to see what support can be provided to girls too.
-
Continue with the Grace Ministry for a Moses-Like Generation and broaden the donor base.
-
Look for ways to broaden the base of the Charity generally and expand its work.
-
Applying to renew the support provided by Wisley with Pyrford PCC.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. 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.
Charitable activities
The charitable activities relate to making grants to Amaha We Uganda NGO in Kasese Uganda. Payments are approved on a calendar quarter basis and paid at the start of each quarter.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Some of these funds have been designated by the Trustees, but this is an administrative label and the funds can be re-allocated if need be.
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.
