life for people living in underdeveloped and
deprived parts of Uganda. The charity
focuses on supporting and implementing
projects which have a direct, tangible and
measurable impact on improving
accessibility to clean water for people in the
poorest and remotest parts of Uganda, for
example, by building water boreholes. The
charity also organises and participates in

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The ongoing global political and economic
instability as well as climate change
implications continued to have an impact on
the charity in 2024, especially with regards
to the rising cost of materials and supply
chain challenges, human resource
constraints and ground conditions for drilling
due to increasingly unpredictable weather
patterns.
Despite these challenges, the charity had
another successful year both in terms of
fundraising and managing its internal
operating costs, with the total net income for
the year being almost three times its original
budget.
The charity experienced some challenges
during the year with the implementation of its
projects mainly due to its main contractor
having problems with its drilling equipment
as well as poor ground conditions at one of
its sites. This resulted in delays to the
construction programme and completing
some of the projects. Despite these delays,
the charity still managed to successfully
complete another seven water boreholes,
the largest number it has ever completed in
a single year.
Most notable of all, the charity built its first
piped water supply with solar electric pump
and tapping system. This is a significant step
forward for the charity as it allows us to get
more water to more people more quickly.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Performance of fundraising Para 1.41 activities against objectives set Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
