We continue to focus on work that improves the quality of life for children and the wider community in the village of Kasozi, near Kayabwe in the central region of Uganda. This is a very poor community, which has been suffering from a lack of clean water, a lack of food and very limited education opportunities. We have decided to focus on making a big difference in one community rather than spreading ourselves too thinly working across a larger area.
We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
