**Projects Undertaken:** A number of projects have been completed during the year: **a) With the Diocese of Kajo Keji:** Our support of the Diocese of Kaji Keji was somewhat curtailed during the year as we were awaiting the appointment of the next Bishop, and this delayed decisions on their priorities for project funding. However, we completed one project with the diocese and Mothers Union and made a small contribution to Bishop James’ personal expenses incurred at his enthronement. - Vegetable Growing £2,040 - Contribution to cost of Bishop appointment £160 ## **b) With Kajo Keji Christian College:** - Vegetable Growing £2,040 - Friends of Kajo Kejo College - donations to running costs £7,703 ## **c) With Smile Children’s Charity Village:** - Building of new Clinic £5,038 - Skills Training £5,877 - Provision of microscope and bench £814 - Provision of 10 laptops £300 - Grant for graduation of skills Training students £815 - Seeds for MU widows at Kawolokota £120 **Income:** **----- Start of picture text -----**

A total of £2,464 was claimed from HMRC either directly or by Stewardship on our behalf. **Grants:** A large proportion of our income this year has been grants from churches and organisations amounting to £16,150. - £2,000 from the Barnabas Trust Salisbury - £1,800 from the PCC of St James’ Church, Devizes - £640 from Salisbury Baptist Church - £1,000 from Holy Trinity Ripon - £210 from the PCC of Bratton Church - £5,000 anonymous (for Smile skills training) **Fund Raising:** Philippa Hanna concert.

After all costs, £2,462 was raised from ticket sales, refreshment sales and one-off donations. St Paul’s Church kindly provided the venue hire free of charge. **Visits to local partners** In March 2024 a team of 4 people visited the Smile Children’s Charity Village in Kitimbwa, Uganda. The team comprised, Andrew Robertson, Andrew and Karen Eustace and Peter Sainsbury. The visit lasted 4 days during which the team: - Attended and officiated at the opening of the new clinic. - Attended the graduation ceremony of the 2023 skills training course. - Delivered a microscope and provided training in its use. - Delivered 10 laptop computers and provided a computer basics course to a class of 30 year 5 & 6 children. Computers were kindly provided at low cost by Jamie’s Computers Southampton (part of St James housing association) - Distributed seeds and hand tools to around 20 widows and grandmothers at Kawolokota Mothers Union group. - Delivered an update on the 2023 business training course to last year’s graduates. - Arranged for the provision of a motorbike for the deputy director of the Smile Village – funded by the Richard Taylor Foundation. - Arranged for the provision of a wheelchair for Joseph, a young lad from Kawolokota – provided by Wheels for the World. ## **The future:** Trustees have commenced discussions on the medium to long term future of the charity to ensure continuity and succession. There is a strong desire for the charity to continue, and to grow, but it is recognised that the current structure is working at capacity, and this will therefore mean significant changes in the day-to-day management of its affairs. **Andrew Robertson.** **April 2024** ## **Projects Delivering Hope Profit and Loss** ## **April 2023 - March 2024** |**Sales**
