March 2012

The children in our school have been unable to attend school elsewhere
due to extreme povety or their individual complex leaming needs. The
children are thriving and benefrtting from the school, socially and
educationally. It is clear from our visits that the children are happy,
thriving and enjoyin9 the range of aclivities we can offer through the
small classes. They are benefitting from hands on leaming, extra teacher
lime and leaming through play and activities alongside the more
traditional Ugandan 'Chalk and Talk, education.
The families and parents are delighted and grateful that their children can
go to school. A benefrt we had not considered initially is the respite time
this gives the children's carers, whether a single Mum with a severely
autistic child or a povety stricken Grandma caring for her orphaned
grandchildren whom she cannot afford to send to school.
The community is benefitting by us providing work, schooling. buying
local food and resources_ The community are enjoying using the football
pilch and playground. The community is also seeing clearty how we value
each and every one of our children and consider them worth spending
lime, money and energy on improving iheir quality of life. These SEN
children are often left alone and nol considered worth educating.
The trustees are not benefrtting from the charity. We declare that the
trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the charty
Commission on public benefrt.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the ststutory

Commission on public
benefit)

2023 at Famil of Ho
2023 has been a fantastic year as we settle back into the regular rhythm
of school life. The children are thriving under our amazing staff team,
and everyone is happy and smiling.
We still have our five teachers. two amazing matrons, our night
watchman and ourfarmer. They all work incredibly hard to look after our
fabulous 75 children. Our five Ugandan trustees meet regularly to ensure
everything is moving smoothly
behind the scenes.
The playground is still a huge hit and is used by the community as well.
There are lots of options to develop imaginative play. fine and gross
motor control and hand eye coordination whilst having fun I

Achievements and performance
The classrooms are a hive of activity and the teachers have worked hard
to make them fun and bri8htly decorated. They are providing lots of
hands on learning and practical activities with plenty of movement,
dance and song.
In the afternoon the children have some vocational education session5.
This can include mat making, rope making, pot making, basic sewing and
hair braiding.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Simple life skills are also part of the 3fternoon learning. The children all
learn how to do their own washing as well as cleaning the dormitories
and classrooms, helping with kitchen artivities and collecting the
firewood.
Some of the children have resposibility for looking after the cows and the
chickens. They also help our farmer. Henry, on the land with clearing, planting
and harvesting crops. Our wood plot is growing well and we have a new
bananalmatoke plantation. The maize is growing beautifully too. The children
will help to harvest the maize before it is
taken to the mill to be ground into
flour to make porridge and posho.
We have 30 children in extreme poverty attendin8 local primary schools
with their sponsorfs support.
They are still making great progress at seven different primary schools. In
October theyjoined us at Family of Hope for a catch up, ice cream and
some dancing.

Section D
Achievements and performance
While the trustees were in Uganda in 2023 we spent some time in the
classroom5 and enjoyed doing some teaching. We made rockets and
acted out the story Whatever Next. We have enjoyed the toy cars, mask
making, Lego and bvbbles in the children's free time. As you can see
from the photos we had lots of funl We have spent ￿me time planning a
new project with the trustees and ensuring that our staff, children and
parents are happy.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Our football pitch is still used every day by our own children, other local
schools, the community youth football and netball teams and for
community meetings. Our children use it for ball games, running and
athletics as well as supporting any community games. The Family of
Hope Community Christmas Cup went ahead again this year with 12
teams joining in the fun.

March 2012

Section D
Achievements and performance
Our most exciting news is that we have bought some new land to
develop our vocational education. As children reach their potential in
their academic education we want to give a5 many as possible the
opportunity to learn a simple trade and take their skills learning up a
level following on from their afternoon sessions.
We will offer farmin& animal husbandry. hairdressin& carpentry, sewing,
local craft making and hopefully fish farming.
While we raise the funds to build the nece55ary buildings we will farm
the new land, growing m05t of our food needs.
If you know of anyone who would like to help us build our new centre or
companies etc who may like to sponsor a UK registered charity for a
vear. please do get in touch.
We would like to thank everyone who
sponsors children with us. The children love
receiving your photographs, letters and gifts
and for a few people they sometimes get to
meet their sponsor child when visiting the
school. What a special experience for
everyone involved. We hope you love seeing
their photos as much as they enjoy seeing
yours.
