||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|The object of the charity is the<br>advancement of education for the public<br>benefit in particular by the provision of<br>grants of financial assistance and the<br>sharing of knowledge and expertise<br>directed to supporting the operation and<br>charitable work of the Tasaaga School in<br>Sitabaale, Uganda.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The main activities have been the raising of<br>monthly and one-off donations to support<br>the running of Tasaaga School. The money<br>raised was then used to pay teachers<br>salaries, the cost of food for the most<br>vulnerable children and improvements to<br>the school building and facilities.|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees confirm that they have<br>referred to the guidance contained in the<br>Charity Commission’s general guidance on<br>public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s<br>aims and objectives and in planning future<br>activities for the year.|



## **Achievements and Performance** 

SORP reference 



|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|By funding the salaries of all the school<br>teachers, the charity has allowed the<br>school to function properly. The effect of<br>this activity was to lower teacher<br>absenteeism, which in turn reduced the<br>level of students dropping out.<br>The charity ensured that the school was<br>one of the only private schools in the<br>country to continue paying its staff during<br>the covid pandemic. Uganda had the<br>longest school shut down in the world, with<br>primary schools largely shut (except for<br>exam students) for two years.<br>The charity continued to pay for the<br>accommodation and feeding of thirteen<br>vulnerable and orphaned children during<br>the pandemic period, ensuring they were<br>also taught during this time. We also<br>supplied a range of products to counter the<br>spread of Covid 19.<br>The charity’s grants were also used for the<br>upkeep and maintenance of the school.<br>This included that painting and repair of<br>walls in all classrooms.<br>By helping meet the largest costs of the<br>school, the charity allows what school fees<br>are collected from parents to be spent on<br>improving the educational benefit offered to<br>the students and in turn the community.<br>Uganda has one of the highest primary<br>school drop out rates in the world. The<br>causes of this are primarily lack of money<br>for lunch, teacher absenteeism (due to<br>unpaid salaries) and overcrowded<br>classrooms. For female students, lack of<br>sanitary kits also leads to regular absence<br>from school and earlier dropping out of<br>education.<br>The school already had relatively small<br>class sizes thanks to the previous work of<br>one of the trustees. Through the activity of<br>the charity, the school is able to counter the<br>other causes of students leaving school<br>early.<br>The benefit is that fewer students have left<br>the school before completing their primary<br>education in previous years. With time, this<br>will benefit the local community by lifting<br>education levels and allowing more of them<br>to find regular, higher paid work in the<br>future.|
