Trustees annual report to Charity Commission – Wanjawulo April 2022 to March 2023
When we started the year in April 2022 we were hopeful that things were heading into a new normal with the visit by Winnie and Geoffrey spreading the word that we were still very much a quorum, keen to make positive change for the people in our little community. The families were happy and healthy and it was clear that for some, although transport and supplies had been in short supply, the impact of covid on their daily lives in the village was limited. Life continued as ever, people were happy and hopeful, farming was lucrative when the climate allowed and they were thrilled with the visits from Winnie and Geoffrey.
As a committee we met soon after this visit to discuss next steps and make plans for how we can move Wanjawulo forward into the new year. Despite the success of the trip by Winnie and Geoffrey, we acknowledged that the distance between their homes and Busu was causing costs to be almost inaccessible on a regular basis. It quickly became clear that making links with more established charities in the local area was the only way we could maintain the work of Wanjawulo on a more regular basis.
Our 2 aims for Wanjawulo during this year were:
-
to continue to provide visits from Winnie and Geoffrey where possible
-
to form better links with Musana so that the prospect of merging can become a real possibility
The committee members then set about formalising the discussions we had started with the bigger charities that we know in the area and beginning to broach the concept of a graduated take-over of sorts. Knowing that we can continue to provide funds (limited but consistent) but cannot maintain the work on the ground meant that we could offer what seemed a fairly exciting prospect for charities with ambitions to move their outreach into more rural communities. We were enthused to find that in initial discussions, teams were willing to engage in this offer and we began to make arrangements for a committee trip to establish a new route for the charity in May 2023.
In March 2023, we presented our plans to the landowner and he was immediately supportive of the concept, his own charity feeling the same disadvantages of international working as we were. This allowed us to plan our May 2023 trip with new found hope of Wanjawulo becoming a subsidiary of a larger charity.
Our aims for the charity in the new year are:
-
to visit the charities in person (Musana and Ekisa specifically) to make plans for a merger
-
to liaise with the landowner to streamline our plans for the building and land collaboratively
