Orphans Trust Project
Completion Report – Phase 3 & Overall Project Summary
This year we have successfully completed Phase 3 of our orphanage development project. The completion of this phase represents the successful culmination of our mission to build a fully functional orphanage in Uganda, providing vulnerable children with a safe, stable, and nurturing environment with opportunities for growth.
The following milestones were achieved:
-
Infrastructure and Essential Facilities
-
Solar panels installed for renewable energy.
-
Completion of a clean water well for consistent water supply.
-
Finalization of electrical and plumbing systems.
2. Educational Resources
-
Furnished classrooms with desks, chairs, blackboards, and teaching aids.
-
Provision of stationery and educational materials.
-
Living Space Finalization
-
Interior plastering and painting completed.
-
Installation of dormitory furniture, common area furnishings, and storage solutions.
Project Completion & Impact
With the conclusion of Phase 3, the orphanage is now fully operational. At present, 28 orphaned children are living in the facility, each receiving:
-
Full-time education, delivered through a structured academic program
-
Daily nutritious meals
-
Safe and clean sleeping quarters
-
A dedicated play area, ensuring a balanced environment for healthy development
The transformation brought about by this project has already begun to reflect in the children’s behavior, confidence, and wellbeing. The space now functions not just as an orphanage, but as a place where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to build a brighter future.
Financial Transparency
As a charity operating on a 100% donation policy, we ensure that every pound donated goes directly to project delivery. No donor contributions are used for administrative or overhead costs.
While Phase 3 was completed successfully, it is important to highlight that donations did not cover the full financial requirement for this final stage. To ensure the timely completion of the orphanage, we responsibly utilised a portion of the charity’s reserve funds. This decision was made carefully and with full consideration of our long-term commitments. Reserves allowed us to avoid delays and ensure that the children’s living conditions were not compromised.
We view this as a necessary step to deliver the project to its intended standard. Now that Phase 3 is complete, restoring the reserve fund will be a priority in our upcoming fundraising efforts.
Overall Project Reflection
This project has spanned multiple phases, each building towards a facility that now stands as a beacon of hope for some of the most vulnerable children in the region. Collectively, these accomplishments represent the dedication of our volunteers, supporters, and donors who believed in the mission from the start.
Key achievements across all phases include:
-
Construction and full readiness of a modern orphanage facility
-
Implementation of educational and wellbeing programs
-
Establishment of long-term access to food, safety, learning, and emotional support
-
Formation of a sustainable care model supported by local staff
Financial review
Statement on reserves
Our current reserves limit is £6000. This means any amount of unrestricted funds up to and including £6000 may be reserved by the charity, for the reasons outlined in reserves policy. We aim to only have an amount of reserves that is proportionate to what is required to continue our existing operations and respond to any urgent operational needs that may arise, in the face of unexpected financial implications. Income from any sources are principally used to further our charitable purposes and benefit those whom we work with. Our reserve limit will be adjusted accordingly as our work progresses, which will be reflected in our Reserves Policy.
