Summary ofthe maln achievements of tho charity during the year Charity activity was again limited due to ongoing pandemic uncertainties, but as individuals, the trustees have, subjett to pandemic restrictions, continued to raise awareness of the work of MHU UK amongst friends and family, resulting in some individual donations. Ugandan schools reopened later in the year post pandemic than he in the UK, and MHU primary school saw a rise in the number of children wishing to register at the school. It quickly became evident that the unfinished Nursery classrooms were a priority for completion to standards conducive to leaming. MHU UK sent funds in December 2021 for flooring, plastering of walls and intemal & external decoration, with the work being completed in readiness for the new school term in January. Charity trustees prepared a psentatIOn for the OMA annual awards ball which was a virtual event in January 2022. This was again a great opportunity to raise aWanesS, and the resulting getierous donation from OMA was sent to MHU to enable the building of a cookhouse, store and warden's room at the school site in Kafumu, Uganda. This project was further funded by some individual designated gifts. The brick built cookhouse is more fit for purpose for providing a meal for the children each day, and periodical meals for the elderly in the community as well. The addition of a store means that maize or millet can be purchased in larger amounts and stored properly which is more cost effective. As the project buildings have developed, and with a few vulnerable children 'boarding' on site during term time, the warden's room is a gat addition providing employment and accommodation for a warden. Funds from regular donations were again sent periodically through the year towards staff salaries in Kafumu. All donations and funds raised were forwarded in line with the charities, grant making policy to Mercy Hands Uganda and were regularly accounted for through ceipts and photographic evidence. No trustee or team visits were made to Uganda during the year, but trustees continued to be in very regular contact, almost daily. Tthvith Daniel Waddimba Director of MHU in Uganda. TAR March 2012
MHU UK does not intend to hold reserves as all donations are forwarded to the beneficiaries in line with the grant making policy and in a timely, cost effective manner. The remaining balance of funds received during this financial year were sent onward early in the next financial period.
