A note from Craig and Janine

This year’s annual report reflects this new direction. The photographs included were taken by children and community members— images chosen to be shared with you. Each picture highlights local voices, perspectives, and creativity, serving as a reminder that every story is most powerful when told by those who live it.

In 2024, we began an important conversation about how images and stories are used across the nonprofit sector. Our aim was to rethink long-held practices and introduce stronger policies that prioritise dignity, safety, and child-centred representation. This reflection has now been embedded into our organisational values and strategy.

JANINE AND CRAIG ROBINSON

As part of this commitment, we have made the decision to move away from sharing identifiable images of children. Going forward, all fundraising and communication materials will avoid showing children’s faces or other recognisable features. This step recognises that informed consent is complex, can change over time, and may not always be possible in the ways the sector has traditionally assumed. This also reflects growing concerns in the digital age.

Once images are placed online, they can be copied, altered, and circulated far beyond their original context, often without the knowledge or control of the people featured. This raises real risks of misuse. By rethinking how we use photographs, we are not only safeguarding children but also responding to these wider realities of the digital landscape.

Note: In 2024 we rebranded our charity to: For Another Human.

Our rebranding reflects our deep commitment to prioritising people. The term hero no longer fits our values - to us, the word fosters uncomfortable imbalances. By eliminating the word hero from our language we strive to enhance equity and inclusivity, ensuring everyone stands on equal ground.

You'll see more storytelling at the centre of our communications as we dedicate ourselves to a more human-centred approach, ensuring that every initiative and interaction is thoughtfully designed with the communities we seek to serve in the centre. In our move towards rebranding and embracing inclusivity, we invite you to join us in celebrating every story equally and fairly.

Love, Craig & Janine xxxxx

where we work: UGANDA

Uganda is a landlocked country. It is bordered by South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. For Another Human operates in and around Gulu, a district in North-Western Uganda with a population of around 186,000.

Uganda’s population of 48.5 million increases by about 3% each year, with 71% of people living in rural areas.

Life expectancy is approximately 64 years, with only 2% of the population older than 65.

Uganda has one of the world’s youngest median ages at 16.3 years - about 45% of the population is under 14, which places great pressure on the demand for education.

60% of people in Gulu live in financial hardship

1 in 3 children do not complete primary school.

a little bit of history: A personal note from Craig from 1st trip until now…

2012

Church trip to Gulu, Uganda, to join Watoto church and build a classroom at Watoto Village, Laminadera. My first Ugandan experience and my first introduction to Children of Hope orphanage.

2013

My solo trip to Gulu, Uganda, which included; an introduction to Gulu Remand Home, meeting Pastor Doreen and a day trip to Murchison Falls with Children of Hope whom I visited many times during my stay.

2014

Organised and led a team of seven friends to build a church and latrine block for pastor Doreen on the outskirts of Gulu. We also did some much needed repair work at Gulu Remand Home.

2015

Organised and led a team to build the Remand Home medical staff their first single room private surgery and latrine block. For the children at Bless a Child Kampala, we built an adventure playground.

2016

Organised and led a team to build an indoor kitchen facility for Gulu Remand Home. We also built the second adventure playground at Lacor Hospital, Gulu.

2017

My visit to Gulu was to install local ovens and ventilation to the new kitchen facility at Gulu Remand Home. I also spent time and took much needed resources for the work with street kids in Kampala.

2018

Organised and led a team to build a two room extension on the (2015 build) Remand Home private surgery, thus creating a medical centre that can also provide care for the local community as well as look after the children inside the facility. We also build the third of our adventure playgrounds for the children of Bless a Child, Gulu. Became a full time charitable organisation in Uganda.

2018- 2024

We have been blessed with many more successful builds including a sanctuary wall for “Christines House”. A fun and child friendly waiting room for the Remand Home Medical Centre and a family home for Beatrice. We have also started many programmes such as Skateboarding, Boxing, Little heroes education, Bakery project, a children’s hospital fun club and a library club.

Shout out to Charles. Every organisation has those special people who bring light and strength simply by showing up. For us, one of those people is Charles. Although not formally employed by For Another Human, Charles has become an integral part of For Another Human.

Charles is the friend who is always there. His willingness to give his time and energy reflects the very heart of what we stand for — community, generosity, and shared purpose. We are deeply grateful for Charles’s years of friendship and commitment. He reminds us that lasting change is never the work of one person alone but the result of many hands and hearts working together.

Our Team

AMOS, a year on

‘Financially it has made my monthly savings of 150,000 more easy. Socially, I am able to meet many new friends who have a good impact on my life’ - Amos, Field Manager.

RONALD, a year on

“Am really grateful and thankful for being employed and receiving sponsorship because it has eased my daily life routine. I am able to concentrate on my boxing career which has catered to my well being. I don’t need to go and hustle a lot.” -Ronald, Programme Manager

For Another Human: Ready, Steady, Bake!

Gladis’s story

“My name is Gladis Opio. I really thank God for this project in the community, it has been a gift from God to all the community members because it is bringing changes. I am also one of the students, I was also taught. I hosted the training from my home, then after the training I have come to train other people in the village. So people are very happy, they are appreciating what this project is doing in their life, it is changing their life. We went for follow up and others are making a profit of 6000 ugs and 3000 ugs and are now not dependent on other people, at least they can get their own money after the training. I want to send a blessing to those giving to the project. May God bless them, and open doors for them.”

The challenge

Northern Uganda continues to experience the long shadow of conflict, leaving families in cycles of hardship. In Gulu, many households rely on subsistence living and have few opportunities to break that cycle. Barriers include a lack of start-up resources, limited training, and inequality in access to opportunities.

A practical solution

Our initiative equips men and women with practical baking skills and the tools to launch small enterprises. Delivered through free 5-day workshops led by skilled local bakers, the programme combines hands-on cooking with business training in packaging, hygiene, and financial management. Beyond training, participants receive year-round mentoring to ensure businesses grow. Selling roadside or to local shops offers a tangible route to a steady income and improved family well-being.

Lasting impact

We have now run 14 training cycles, each shaped by local input. Feedback shows consistent results: participants not only establish businesses but also form savings clubs, strengthening community resilience.

For Another Human: Spaces to Belong, Places to Grow!

One of the most pressing needs we encounter is ensuring food security for school-aged children. Many in our scholarship programme begin their day before sunrise, walking long distances to reach school by 7 a.m. and studying until late afternoon. Without a nutritious meal, it becomes difficult to stay alert, focused, and fully engaged in learning. Providing daily meals is therefore not just about nourishment—it’s an essential foundation for concentration, attendance, and academic progress.

Since 2022, we have run a small school lunch club — Let Kids Grow Healthy — providing daily meals for children within our scholarship programme. These meals are prepared by Betty, a local mother whose small kitchen business is situated opposite the school.

We warmly invite you to partner with us in this journey. Every contribution goes directly to our scholarship programme, ensuring that each child continues their education without interruption. Your support is not just for one student, but part of a collective effort that makes quality education possible for all the children in our care.

This partnership does more than fill plates- it nourishes learning, strengthens local livelihoods by supporting Betty in sending her own children to school — a genuine ripple effect of partnership and shared growth in action. Oh, and of course we enjoy the food too when we visit each week to spend time with the kids at lunch break.

For Another Human currently supports 20 children through school scholarships. As these children progress into senior school, the costs of education rise significantly — with higher school fees and additional expenses for learning materials and support.

Come visit: We welcomed friends, family and trustees to stay in 2024

2024 has seen more friends join us in Northern Uganda, bringing their energy, skills, and compassion to our community projects. For Another Human welcomes volunteers into every aspect of our work — from laying bricks on school builds to joining outreach programmes, visiting families, or simply playing with children until the sun sets. Each day offers a chance to learn, to serve, and to be part of something lasting.

Volunteers live alongside us in our home near Gulu town, sharing in both the rhythms of daily life and the joy of community. Time is spent building relationships with children in our programmes, supporting local initiatives, and encouraging one another in faith and action. Uganda is full of friends not yet met, and the connections forged here often become lifelong.

We also encourage those who support children through our school scholarship programme to meet the young people, their families, and communities. Every volunteer contributes in a meaningful way, and the relationships formed here often leave a lasting impact on both sides. The experience of serving, learning, and sharing life in community not only strengthens our work but also creates memories and connections that stay long after the journey ends.

The Big 5 Are Waiting…

Just one hour from our base in Gulu lies Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest and most breathtaking reserve. We encourage volunteers to take part in a two-night safari experience. Imagine waking up on the banks of the Nile with an early morning coffee before heading out on a game drive to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, and buffalo. Later, take a boat cruise along the Nile to the base of the world’s most powerful waterfall, Murchison Falls, where hippos, elephants, and antelope gather to drink and cool off.

It’s a chance to pause, unwind, and experience the beauty and wonder of Uganda — a perfect balance to the busy and rewarding days spent serving in the community.

From Sarah, visit November 2024

“Knowing Janine through her work in the UK, when her and the family moved to UG, I always knew that someday I would go to support them and boy, what an experience which hugely exceeded my expectations. I was instantly made to feel at home in their home and got straight to work unloading the supplies I had taken over with the financial support of my community and friends at the office HQ. The overall summary of my visit was the way the community just embraced me and through this have made some lifetime friends. Just wow!!! “

For Another Human: Building Together, Brick by Brick

A Forever Home Completed

Last year we shared the story of building a forever home for B and her cherished family. In 2024, that vision came to life in full colour with the exterior beautifully rendered and painted in shades chosen by B herself. This year also saw the addition of a shower room, flourishing plants, and food provisions to bring comfort and dignity to daily life. What began as walls and a roof has become a sanctuary — a place filled with security, warmth, and the joy of belonging. Thank you for standing with us in this journey.

Meet One of Our Neighbours: Nelly

Nelly is a great neighbour and friend. Last year, with determination and hard work, she transformed part of her home into a small restaurant — a place where she could cook, serve, and earn an income for her family. But the open layout left her vulnerable, and repeated break-ins put both her business and her safety at risk. Recognising her commitment and the potential of her efforts, our trustees agreed to step in and provide secure doors and locks for the structure. This simple support gave Nelly the security she needed to protect her business and continue building her vision for the future. No break in’s since.

Her story is a reminder that sometimes the smallest of gestures — a lock, a door — can make a big difference.

For Another Human: For Community

Our Skateboarding Outreach Keeps Rolling Strong!

What started as a weekly Thursday session has now grown to twice a week, with children gathering every Tuesday and Thursday at a local community space. With 30 skateboards available to share, more than 100 children regularly join in, learning new skills, building friendships, and discovering the joy of skating in a safe and supportive space. Beyond fun, the programme is a training ground for confidence, teamwork, and resilience — qualities that flow into school, family, and community life. To make the sessions even more inclusive this year, we added scooters alongside skateboards, opening the joy of play to even more children and ensuring no one is left on the sidelines.

Gulu Boxing Club: Building Strength, Inside and Out

This year, thanks to your support, the Gulu Boxing Club received an internal makeover, including new mirrors, training equipment, and the security of a full year’s ground rent. More than just a gym, the club is a safe haven and community hub where young people can train, grow, and dream. Under the guidance of Coach Mulindra Dennis — a devoted and prayerful mentor — aspiring boxers are nurtured with care, boxing disciplines and encouragement. Many come from homes unable to afford sports training, yet the club remains open to all, free of charge, offering a constructive outlet and a sense of belonging.

A Legacy from Leeds to Gulu

Craig’s journey began decades ago at The Hunslet Club, UK, a place that shaped his life and instilled values of resilience, respect, and service. Today, those same lessons inspire his work in Uganda. The Hunslet Club continues to walk alongside him, sending boxing kit and clothing, and cheering on the mission to nurture young people through sport.

A Ring of Opportunity

In 2024, Gulu Boxing Club received its first-ever boxing ring — the only one of its kind in Northern Uganda. Designed by local engineers and built with recycled materials, it can be dismantled and transported for competitions across the region. For many young athletes, stepping into this ring was their very first time — a moment that ignited confidence, raised ambition, and gave a fighting chance to pursue potential.

Morale is soaring, the club is thriving, and dreams are being built punch by punch — thanks to the unwavering support of the For Another Human family and friends.

In Craig’s own words:

“You may think The Hunslet Club is just about helping local kids, but the truth is its kindness and generosity ripple far beyond Leeds. What you learn there will stay with you forever — and one day, it may just be the thing that helps you change someone else’s life.”

A note from Coach Mulindra Dennis: ‘thank you for your greatest efforts working tirelessly in lifting Gulu Boxing Club higher and higher’

For Another Human: Learning Starts Here. Koc Lii community partnership build

Progress report

The vision for a nursery school in Koc Lii began humbly, with children gathered under a mango tree for informal lessons. Koc Lii, a rural community south of Gulu with around 300 households, identified a nursery school as its greatest need, a safe and inclusive place where young children could begin their education close to home.

This project will establish a safe and inclusive learning environment, supported by clean water, sanitation, a kitchen, and recreation spaces. It is rooted in the priorities of the Koc Lii community itself.

Land was generously given by the local church in 2023, and this past year, we celebrated another vital milestone: a borehole was drilled, now providing clean, tap-tomouth safe water for both the school site and surrounding households. Previously, the nearest well was over 4km away, providing unsafe water that required up to three hours’ collection each day. In the rainy season, journeys became exhausting and hazardous — as one local friend explained, it is common to slip and fall in the mud.

This borehole has transformed daily life, meeting basic health needs and cementing trust between the organisation and the community.

With this first phase complete, the project is now ready to advance to construction. Phase two addresses the next step: clearing the land and laying foundations for the first of three nursery classrooms and a 4-stance latrine. This phase is crucial for transitioning from vision to reality and creating a safe, accessible, and sustainable environment for children to start their education.

Community Ownership

For Another Human’s role is to stand alongside the community: raising funds, mobilising resources, and providing technical support. Local leaders and workers remain at the forefront. Bricks are being made in the village, creating both income and ownership. A local engineer, holding a degree in engineering, has been identified to oversee key phases of the build — ensuring quality while creating professional opportunities within the region.

Environmental sustainability is also central. The design incorporates rainwater collection for daily use, responsible waste management, and gardens for outdoor learning and food security. Each element reinforces resilience and reduces external dependency.

Fundraising & Delivery

Leadership for construction is provided by Craig, with more than a decade of experience building in Uganda. His expertise in navigating regulations, sourcing materials, and managing local projects provides a solid base for delivery.

The fundraising strategy blends grants, donations, and the active involvement of supporters. In November 2025, a team from the UK will join with community labour to deliver Phase two:

Clearing and securing the land with fencing. Construction of the first two nursery classrooms. Building a four-stance latrine block (two boys, two girls).

This partnership of community, local expertise, and international support ensures the project remains ambitious yet achievable — turning vision into reality, phase by phase.

The examiner Is recommended to use the checkjist alongside the Directions for Independent examination. Not all the checks listed will apply in the case of every Independent examinatlon aThJ so the checklist is not a substhite to the examiner using their ovm judgment as to what is necessary. The prompt 'step done. may prompt a tyes. or'no.. A 'no' answer does not always indicate a problem because It may simply be that the step was either not applicable or found not to be necessary to the examination undertaken In case the words 'not applicable. or 'not necessarf might entered in place of a worklng paper reference. Some answers may be 'no' bec3use the evldence or infomiation that was needed could not be obtained and this wll need to be considered when the examlner makes their report. It is recommended that all the steps for each Direction are completed wtth a working paper referen￿ added. It tnay be th* the examiner completes the dlecklist as they go through the examlnation or as a (x)mpleteness theck at the end as they bring their examination to a conclusion and prepare their report. There is no legal requirement to use thls checklist and examiners may substltuÉe their own checklist or take an altemative approach.
