ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||Across the world, 2020 has been a challenging
year due to the COVID-19
pandemic
and sadly, the challenges
are often greatest
in developing
countries
like Uganda.
Uganda
went into a national
lockdown at the end of March 2020
and strict restrictions
remained
in place beyond the end ofthe year. This has| ||||had a devasting
impact on local economies due to sharp
inflation
and
it has had| ||||a particularly
significant
impact on children
due to the prolonged
closure of| ||||schools. Due to the lack ofelectricity,
internet connection
and equipment
in rural| ||||villages, remote learning
has not been possible, so children across the country| ||||have been engaged
in farming
work. Schools in Uganda
reopened
from 15| ||||October 2020 for the exam classes of Primary 7, Senior 4 and Senior 6 only, so| ||||that they can sit their final exams. On top oflockdown,
south-western
Uganda| ||||also experienced
very intense wet seasons
in both December 2019and May| ||||2020.This caused landslides
and floods resulting
in road and property| ||||destruction
and the loss ofanimals
and crops.| ||||Unfortunately,
the pandemic
also stopped the Peter Symonds
College expedition| ||||to Uganda,
which was one ofour major sources offunding. Therefore, we have| ||||had limited funds to invest
in a number ofprojects, particularly
the school| ||||building
and resources projects and animal sponsorship
schemes.| ||||However,
it isn't all bad news and we do have a number ofcharity successes to| ||||share. ..| ||||Electricity has arrived
in Kanjobel This year, Project Embabazi has raised| ||||enough
funds to connect 122 buildings
to the electricity supply,
including
the| ||||primary
school, health clinic and over 100households.
This will radically
improve| ||||living standards
and educational
resources and it will unleash
huge potential
for| ||||further development
in the area. It is a cost-sharing
initiative; the Ugandan| ||||communities
have worked
hard to contribute 20%ofthe funds needed. We were| ||||very fortunate to be selected for the Bishop of Edinburgh's
Lent Appeal and| ||||donations
from the Diocese of Edinburgh
made a significant
contribution
to this| ||||scheme.| ||||Our child sponsorship
scheme continues
to grow with a significant
increase
in| ||||the number ofnew donors and beneficiaries.
Sponsorship
ensures that each| ||||child consistently
attends a good school with all necessary resources for| ||||'Education
is the most powerful
weapon
which you can use to change the world'| ||||(Nelson Mandela). Please see our Facebook and Instagram
pages for more| ||||details.| ||||In December 2019,we ran a very successful
mudslide
appeal to help re-build| ||||homes lost in the landslides.
Our generous
donors raised 15million Ugandan| ||||shillings (83179.31).There are photos and videos ofthe new homes on our| ||||Facebook page.| ||||ln early 2020, we received reports that the Kabanyonyi-
Kanjobe gravity water| ||||scheme was no longer working
and therefore
villagers
had to walk for miles in| ||||search ofclean water. 4 million Ugandan
shillings (8850)was needed for| ||||renovations
and repair, so we quickly raised the funds to restore a secure clean| ||||water supply.| ## ## |'|||||||||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||-|-|||||||||||| |~||||||~||~|~||||||| |||||||||||Unrestricted
