Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

Summary of the main 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	By Funding the salaries of all the school teachers, the charity has allowed the school to function properly. The effect of this activity was to lower teacher absenteeism, which in turn reduced the level of students dropping out. The charity was also able to donate 40 new desks and new student text books, which benefits the students through improved academic teaching. The charity’s grants were also used for upkeep and maintenance of the school. This included that painting and repair of walls in all classrooms. By helping meet the largest costs of the school, the charity allows what school fees are collected from parents to be spent on improving the educational benefit offered to the students and in turn the community. The biggest change in the last year came in the range of school food provided. Previously the school had only been able to provide the students with ‘posho’ (a cassava based porridge dish) three times a day. Now the student’s diet consists of a range of fruit and vegetables as well as eggs. This has a big benefit to the health of the children in their physical development and their ability to better focus in classes. During the year, the charity also partnered with ‘Days for Girls’, an international charity that delivers locally-made, reusable sanitary kits to female students in developing countries around the world. The charity provided funds to buy a kit for each of the female students that required one. The charity also paid a representative of ‘Days for Girls’ to come to the school and give both students and teachers training on menstruation and how to use their kits. Uganda has one of the highest primary school drop out rates in the world. The causes of this are primarily lack of money for lunch, teacher absenteeism (due to unpaid salaries) and overcrowded classrooms. For female students, lack of sanitary kits also leads to regular absence from school and earlier dropping out of education. The school already had a relatively small class sizes thanks to the previous work of one of trustees. Through the activity of the charity, the school is able to counter the

other causes of students leaving school early. The benefit is that fewer students have left the school before completing their primary education in previous years. With time, this will benefit the local community by lifting education levels and allowing more of them to find regular, higher paid work in the future.
