Review & Forecast

Review 2023

Key Features

Funding - £64,298 or 312 Million Shillings
• Growth of the NGHH maternity ward
• School fees supported for 46 students
• Growth of the Empower Her project
• Completion of the Busawuli Development Foundation (BUDEFO) water project

2023 funding has fallen from a high in 2019. Donors are located mostly in the UK and the USA. The Covid-19 pandemic and economic downturn has affected the SGP fund raising initiatives in these countries, and has effected the ability to increase funding levels year on year.

The funding by project sector:

Forecast 2024

Key Features

Funding - £55,390 or 270 million Shillings
• Supporting increase staff and payroll at NGHH
• Support infrastructure projects at St Christopher’s NGHH
• Support for vocational training and schooling facilities
• Support for further phases of development of the BUDEFO water project

The budget for funding projects in 2024 is £55,390 or UGX 270 million. Funds are raised in the UK and the USA through individual donors and corporate donors. Funds are raised through funded events or through regular corporate donation under CSR initiatives.

Funding in 2023 will continue to be challenging and will hamper individual donor fund raising. Furthermore, economic and recessionary pressures provide an increase threat to corporate donations.

Funding of 2024 projects by sector:

Health Projects

SGP provides funding for the St. Christopher’s Nkuringo Green Hill Health Centre (NGHH). The facility has been registered as a Type III facility (Ugandan health clinic classification) is to be able to provide health services, in line with guidelines set out by the Uganda Ministry of Health, delivered by the community.

Increased funding is budgeted for staff costs (75% of the total budget, £24,408) in 2024 as the facility recruit more medical personnel to service the Type III facility. The remaining £6,128 of funding is to be allocated to drugs and medical supply costs. This funding will take into account the intentions within the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the parties associated with NGHH.

It is the intent of SGP that the Ministry of Health and agencies of the Catholic Church will be able to join SGP in co-funding the facility in line with the MOU. The MOU states that SGP will fund up to 100% of costs of NGHH during the first 5 years of operation. Thereafter, SGP will fund 60% of costs in years 6 and 7. In years 8, 9 and 10, funding will be reduced to 30% of costs. The MOU was signed on the 25[th] February 2016. 2024 will mark year 8.

SGP intends to adhere to the co-funding model and in time hand-over the NGHH to the ultimate beneficiary, where SGP no longer provides funding. This means that SGP will be funding to a maximum of 30% of costs in 2024.

Key Features

Increased staff and payroll to deliver Type III health facilities.
Construction of toilet and kitchen facilities.
Other infrastructure projects to continue to support the new facility.
• Self-funding initiatives to be prioritized.
Support for family planning programmes.

Funding of the Health project as a proportion of total SGP funding will fall year on year for the next three years. NGHH is in its seventh year of being funded by SGP. From 2022, funding tapered by 50% year on year until 2026, when funding will cease.

Activities for the first quarter will include:

Conversion of the existing NGHH building into an accommodation block for the staff
Recruitment of staff
Policy statements defined for the operations
Pricing strategy to be monitored for the services

It is expected that further infrastructure work will continue in 2024. These will include:

Water capture systems
Latrines
Kitchen facilities
Accommodation facilities

Sustainability

During 2024, SGP will prioritise initiatives to initiate sustainable funding methods through the Catholic church, the local community, the District and the Ministry of Health. Whilst there are charges for consultations with the medical staff at NGHH from the patients, SGP will extend funding sources more widely.

SGP will start the process of UCMB accreditation and membership in 2022.

SGP will be seeking support from the Kisoro District to drive through this plan for sustainability.

Family Planning

NGHH will work with Reproductive Health Uganda to deliver family planning outreach programmes. Direction and funding and of these activities will be driven by Stan Miller, a US based fund raiser, with experience of travelling in the Kisoro district. NGHH will provide staff resources to facilitate activities.

Leadership and Management

The St Christopher Nkuringo Green Hill Health Centre (NGHH) is run in accordance to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between three parties involved with the project. The parties are:

1st party – Singing Gorilla Projects (SGP) (the funders).

2nd party – The Catholic Parish of Rubuguri (the owners of the land and building).

3rd party – The management (the operators).

SGP undertakes to:

Fundraise and provide finances and materials for use in the implementation and construction of the NGHH.
Participate in the project development, management, and logistics.
To elect a Board of Directors to offer leadership and involve in monitoring the activities of NGHH.
Promote and provide Primary Health Care in accordance to the Uganda Government Health Mandate.
Train personnel and health workers to provide health services at NGHH.

RC Parish of Rubuguri undertakes to:

To provide land to the SGP at no cost, for the construction of NGHH.
To provide a committee to provide direction and management, resources and manpower to construct the NGHH.
To be available for election on the Board of Directors.
To ensure all the villages within the Nteko Parish are reached and benefit from the services provided by the NGHH.

SGP supplies funds for:

Facilities management and maintenance
Infrastructure projects
Management services
Medical supplies and equipment
Payroll of staff
Training of staff

Management

The Health projects are managed and run by Atanazius Kajubwami. The Manager provides local leadership to the project. Communications are managed through quarterly board meetings, where participants from all parties are present. The manager also provides

oversight at the clinic in terms of supervision of staff, monitors drug stock and makes the necessary drug purchases on a monthly basis.

Board

The NGHH board is made up of three parties plus a chairman. Each of the three parties has two representatives on the board. Board meetings are held three to four times a year. Minutes are taken and stored.

The NGHH Board:

Education Projects

Supporting educational initiatives is a cornerstone of the SGP activity. Ensuring children stay at school for longer and achieve better results will improve the welfare of communities and enrich the lives of individuals. It is of paramount importance that children stay in education for as long as possible to provide themselves with the best opportunities and choices in their lives.

This can take the form of supporting a child at one of the private schools or providing more general funding and support for children, teaching staff and building school infrastructure in government and community schools specifically. Funding of activities at the government and community schools is done on a project-by-project basis as well as providing funders the opportunity to support a child at a government school.

SGP has a policy of supporting government and community schools as a priority as private schools can receive funds from non SGP sources and children who go to private schools can clearly afford to do so.

Infrastructure & bio toilets

Since SGP has been providing support to the Kisoro District, the funding of infrastructure and construction projects in schools has been a key feature. Infrastructure support for schools ranged from provision of iron sheets for roofing to bio toilet and classroom construction.

Teachers

SGP funds the salaries of teachers in schools at Rutooma, and previously at St. Christophers (Ntungamo Primary School), Murole.

Lightening Arrestors

SGP have provided lightning arrestors at schools in Akengeyo, Murole, Nombe, Rubuguri Primary and St. Josephs Rubuguri. SGP will continue to provide lightning arrestors when requested to do.

Textbooks

SGP has provided textbooks at schools in Suma, Ntungamo and Rutooma as well as construction of a library in Iryavumba High School Rubuguri.

School fees

SGP provide school fees for 46 children. It is the SGP strategy to reduce the total amount invested in school fess in future years, to ensure that more funding is directed to infrastructure projects to provide the widest appeal and value to the communities served.

Trends for “Education Projects” categories between 2018 to forecasted 2024 (in GBP):

Forecast 2024

Key Features

Over 46 children supported
• Over 40 schools supported
Managed by Alexsandra Kamanyire and supported by Perey Ngabirano

Budgets have decreased for the Education projects with no infrastructure initiatives planned.

Should infrastructure projects be initiated they will continue to focus on facilities for girls’ latrines and changing rooms. This will support the initiative for keeping girls at school for longer. In turn, more girls will proceed through education to provide choices for more varied career opportunities.

Management

The Education projects are run by Alexsandra Kamanyire and supported by Perey Ngabirano. The manager identifies poor and needy families that cannot afford a child’s education requirements. They initiate SGP intervention, and the child is helped according to the needs (these may include among others; provision of school fees, study materials and child’s upkeep). In addition, schools that are in need are identified and the necessary support is given (these may include among others; provision of roofing iron sheets, construction of classrooms, provision of textbooks, construction of bio toilets or ordinary toilets, provision of lunch and paying salaries for teachers and cooks)

Empower Her

Key Features

Over 20 women engaged.
• Activity delivering income.

Continued funding for vocational projects in 2024 will include the funding of the Empower Her initiative started in 2019. During 2020 and 2021, much of the activity in this project had to cease due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and protocols.

The Empower Her project has been set up to support young women who have had their education interrupted by teenage pregnancy. The project provides the tools and knowledge they need to build their self-esteem, restore their confidence and develop skills to sustain themselves financially.

The Empower Her project has a dedicated classroom in Rubuguri equipped with manual sewing machines. To provide the tuition, teachers are contracted to provide classes in basket weaving, bead work, dress making and sewing skills.

The Empower Her project also provides seminars and tutorials, presented by successful women as role models. This initiative is provided to illustrate options and life choices available to break the cycle of under achievement and early pregnancy.

This initiative is fully funded by SGP, with materials, tuition costs and buildings costs. Products that are made by the group, that are taken for sale overseas are accounted for and the Empower Her members are compensated for the sale of products.

SGP will also fund on a discretionary basis other community-based projects that provide services for women.

Community Projects

Community projects are delivered through supporting water capture, and solar power provision.

Water projects are based around the delivery of three types of initiatives:

Water tank installation, (3,000 litre and 5,000 litre)
Water pipe research and installation (use of hydraulic ram technology)
Water filter installation

Children collect the water for household needs. A trip to the water sources in the valleys and spring sources in the hills twice a day, has now been replaced with well-located water tanks. Children now spend more time at school. Standards are improving in educational results providing better choices in the lives of the community.

Since 2014, over 70 water tanks and water filters have been installed over an extensive area. Water tanks and water filters have been installed across the Nteko Ridge, from Nkuringo to Kabaya, Suma, Chicomo and Rugandu villages as well as in Rubuguri, Kisoro, Lake Mutanda areas and in the Wakiso district.

This has been a popular and transformational project for both locals and sponsors, since these installations provide a great opportunity for the community and sponsors to work together to install the tanks.

Forecast 2024

Key Features

Over 76 water tanks installed to date.
20 solar panels installed to date.
Solar powered stoves installed.

Management

For the 2024 period, there is no project manager dedicated to Community projects. Interim management support will be provided by Alexsandra Kamanyire and supported by Perey Ngabirano. The project management decide upon the location of the water tanks (this is based on among other things; number of people in an area, presence of the elderly, children and the need) and the community then gets involved in installing the tanks. The tanks are transported by truck and on foot to the location. Concrete is mixed, bricks are laid, the tanks are placed and to finish off, the gutters are positioned to direct the water flow from the roofs of buildings.

Community projects have no budget allocated for 2024. Should budget be created then SGP will continue to support water capture systems, and solar energy installations. New

project initiatives will be to support funding of solar cooking facilities and solar lighting. The cook stoves decrease biomass consumption.

Locations

The locations for the water tank installations between 2014 and 2019 are as follows:

Forecast 2024

Key Features • No budget allocated for 2024

Management

The Creativity projects have no budget allocated for 2024. In the past, the respective manager mobilises the community, organises venues and identifies need and requirements needed for the smooth running of the project.

Summary

Key Features

Funding - £812,283 or 3.9 billion Shillings from 2014 to 2023.
Type III health facility funded and run.
Over 5,000 patients treated each year.
Over 46 children supported in schools.
Water delivery services are supporting communities in Wakiso District.

Singing Gorilla Projects (SGP) are committed to;

Working with and serving the people of Kisoro and Wakiso districts for as long as the community and district desire for SGP’s involvement.
Investment in local people to staff projects and provide operational management
Working with the District to deliver an integrated programme of investment.

It is important to SGP that all its activities are sustainable in the long term with the emphasis on making them self-funding, where possible. This will ensure that the money spent improves the welfare of the communities in the future by ensuring that the people of Kisoro and Wakiso districts are able to run the facilities set up by SGP.

In 2024, £55,390 (268,641,850 UGX) is committed to a schedule of works across the Education and Health project types. In 2021 NGHH will continue to support the Type III health facility at St. Christopher’s NGHH with an increased staff count, serving increasing numbers of patients. SGP will look to initiate sustainable funding initiatives with the stakeholders and interested parties, so that the facility will be self-funding by 2026

In 2024 SGP will continue to fund children’s fees as has been done previous years across the whole of the Kisoro District.

By the end of 2024, SGP would have provided funds in excess of £868,000 or 4.2 billion Ugandan Shillings for services in the Kisoro and Wakiso districts .
