APPENDIX A PfHU UK Report August 2024 tojuly 2025 inclusive Thefollowing narrotive isfrom Kate Oakley, the UK Director of PfHU. With the ongoing cost of living crisis in the UK and the global sense of unease, our UK Income1spon50rship, bursaries, donations and fundraising} has seen a drop of just under 30°A for this past year. Despite this, the resident community of Kititi and its environs, organised and guided by Apollo Saku IDirettor PfHU Ugandal have made hu8e strldes this year towards their goal of self-sustainability. This is largely the resu of a collaboration between Apollo and Charlie Berger from the Han Project. This15 evidenced by a reduction in our UK funding requirement which is now to simply cover the wage bill for PfH U and the staff of Cornerstone Nursery and Primary School. Any surplus funds transferred are used by Apollo Saku, at hls discretion, where he deems the requlrement to be most urgent or useful. PfHU Uganda now own and cultivate 12 acres of coffee, 8 acre5 of farmland for crops, cash crops and livestock, the land and bulldin8s of Hope House estate and the land and buildings of Cornerstone Nursery and Primary School. They get 2 harvests of coffee per year which 8ets dried and sold. The farmland helps feed the children of Cornerstone School and the famllles of those that remain members of the Womens Cooperative. Hope House Estate provides comfortable accommodatlon for volunteers and guests, whilst the school contlnues to thrlve. Though vastly reduced In size. the Womens Cooperative still meet each week. Many have left the 8roup because they have bettered themselves sufficiently to 'go It alone,. They remaln self-governing and whilst they are stlll open to new members, the group remains modest In size. They work closely with the Production Manager and Farm lead, Betty Nabawondera, who has a wealth of knowledge and experience of crop cuttivation and animal husbandry. Cornerstone Nursery and Primary School maintain a high standard of education by recruiting quality teachers and investin8 time in both the pastoral and cultural needs of the children in addition to the academic. They have achieved the top results out of 56 schools In the Kyanamukaaka sub-county for the 9th year running., and they always come near the top of the league table5 for the whole of the Masaka district lover 500 schools), with only exclusive fee paylng prlvate boardlng schools achlevlng better grades- not bad for an educational establishment that until 2014 had one classroom, 2 tables, no windows and a leaky roofl We still run the volunteer programme. There was I visit this year, the annual visit in January and February, where there were 9 volunteers. Hope House also provided accommodation for Charlie 8er8er and his team, and all their costs were covered by them. Going forward Sustainability and succession planning remain our absolute priority so that the comrnunity of Kltltl and the project can continue to thrive when we find that UK fundraising comes to an end. Whenever possible we are guiding any new contributors towards paying their donations directly into the Diamond Trust Bank in Uganda.
It has been calculated that we need approximately 10 more acres of land to ensure that Cornerstone Nursey and Primary School can run without UK donations. However, we aspire to even more and, believe me, our dreams are as big as they comel The viability of a Skills Centre for non-academic children {eg plumbin& bricklaying etcl, a larger Medical Clinic, a Coffee and Maize Mill and even a 5econdory School have all been discussed.
