V#fJrkshops and other suth seNic8s 89 the trustees deem appropriate so as to improve the cnnditions of lrfe of persons living in Ugando. The prfneip81 activity ol the th8rity is tho improvement of primary edU10n in Uganda by the use of individual children's blacktrM)ards. known as sEates', a tethnique that has been used so successfully to raise slandards in English primary schools. b) PubliG Benefrt The beneficiarFes of the tharity are primary ¢ildren in the nearly 6LXI sthools within the Kasese region of South V4est UgarHla Nthere 80% of the population live at or below poverty level and primary school dasses can reach 100 pupi13. The charity believes that sou81 and economic improvements in Afric4 have to b8 through education and the polential of the approach we are taking is enormous. Achièvèmont and Perfornmnce The le8m in Uganda have contsnued to support and develop the 52 librariés in the initial plan, although this has been severety rtailed as a sUIt of the Cowd-19 pandemic and the fact that sthwls have been closed ft)r long periods of tsme. Ugandan schools hav8 endurèd vo full lockdowns. Training has ¢>Mtinued to be givon to all library s¢hool$, vthh the continuing aim that pupils in neighbouring $dx)IS will be able to use these libraries as boOng and ref8rence hubs tyjt again thss has been limrted oN*ing to the pandemic.

However. the Covif19 pandemic has ther$0 affticted these plans and the target date has been moved to the end of 2022. In addition to the pandémic, flooding in Kasese resulted in considerable damage to schools and libraries in the area and funds ere raised {£4,074) in order to assist ¥Mth rebuilding projects Accordingly, total income in 2020 amounted to £15,037 compared with £12,182 in the previous year. Unrestricted Income in 2020 of £4,798, induding Gift Aid tax re(x)verable, consist8d of grants from individuals arKI one from a company Restn'ded ints)me amounted to £10,238 induding the flood appeal. £3.000 %VdS fo0d as a grant t¢7wards the chalk-making project, which rt is ped will help fijnd the project in due o)urse. The balance of £3.165 represented grants trom UK organisatiorffj for speofic Ugarwjan sthools, organisations and individuals. Total Expenditure in the period was £21,619. Grants made to the South nzorI Lh'oc8$6 Education Department to further the bK)rk of the tharity in this region of Uganda amounted to £8,774, exduding grants in respect of the librarS and chalk-making. Noles to these accounts show how thes6 fijnds V•pre exp)ded. Restrided expendrture amounted to £12.166 including £3,000 for Ihe th8lk-making project and £1,532 for libranes. The balanc8 reflects the expenditu of the restrided income ¢)Utlined above. The rèsull of Ihe abovè ineome and axpanditure was a defiiit for the year of £6.583 (2019 - deficit of £10,555). Wth tho tharity now reathiThJ tho end of its life the Trustees would expect deficrts in future periods until all of the funds have been spent. Cash balances at the end of the year anounted to £24.333. The tharfty entered 2021 wlth suffiaent funds to continue rts rk through to the end of 2021. when it is antiCiP8ted that the Vrk of Ihe Chartty will end. Future Plans and Challenges During 2020 Education Uganda continued to fund fvll timè staff. are employed by the South enzon Di¢xese. Rev Al* Nabirye is projed o)ordinator and Keesi Bwanbale has been replaced by Baluku Charlse as driver and chalk projed <>)ordinator. The ¢)ffe used by the team in l<ase¥e rK)ntinues to be a fretrstanding building of fvdo rooms opposite the cathedral. This provides office &wmmodation and storage space for chalk. This has rec6ntty been expanded to a0mModate the thalk dryer vhuch was funded during the year and which is essential for inueased chalk pyodudion. The Trustees conlinue to explore opportunitie5 to embed the use of slates alongside the use of textbooks the USAID sponsored '1 Can Read and Write, literacy programme for P11213 as this is intr0ced in Kasese DislrirA schools. Further training sessions have been delivered by the proiod o)ordinator and thes• hav8 showad that suth training 1¢ both
welcome and viable. Maw teathrs are narallY using slates to SUPF(¥t this oJrTiculum but need guidan to get the full benefft from them. Chalk continues to be in o)mmerc4al od]0n. but sales and proffts have been very low due to the ntinUed dOSu of sthools and lac of demand. Two staff Continue to be employed Trhhen possible. At full t>paoty, the enterprise wjId be able to produce 1,280 boxes of thalk per Vek vthieh %Uld enable dlalk to be sold commer(aally bvell beyond the Kasese Scool Distnct. The projed's aim to Produ 900 cartons of 24 boxes of chalk in 2020 and 1,800 cartons in 2021 11 not be realised due to extemal frddors. Ho*ver, it is still hoped then schools a back to eleate a profit enough to run the charity as it is organised at present and make it self-sustaining. The Trustees aim had always been to put the project on a fim footing to be financially and stralegic41ty self-sustaining in Uganda by the end of 2021, revised to end of 2022. Funding to the project from the UK will be reduced thring 2022 antlPatIJ that the n8t profrt from sale of chalk wll reach the larget numbers SOL CRUoyd Chainnan of the Trustees 14 October2021
