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 | During the year under review the charity’s main achievements were: Continuing with our established Covid 19 emergency food distributions across both locations where we operate. This was necessary due to repeated Ugandan lockdowns as set by the Ugandan Government. This was to combat (where as a result of the lockdowns), widespread famine was occurring. TFCM distributed essential items for survival and protection (food, soap, masks) on multiple occasions. Where children could not return to school due to national school closures, we ensured home schooling and scholastic materials were provided in accordance with the national curriculum for nursery, primary and secondary children. Further improvements were made to facilities in the nursery and primary school in Kalagi. In particular a new rain water capture system was purchased, and we provided for more new classroom desks and teaching materials. At the end of May 2022, we launched a new appeal “Build a Better Future”. This was to encourage sponsors to give money that could be used towards further widescale food distributions. This was as a result of the severe impact of increased food prices seen on a worldwide level, fuelled by the increased cost of living crisis. Throughout the year, we sought to raise new sponsorships for children, to enable them to attend school. We also sought to increase the number of elderly women living on their own or looking after grandchildren covered by our ‘Befriend a Granny’ scheme. This scheme ensures practical needs can be met for those elderly individuals who are often neglected community members. The financial support provided to them, helps to supply food and home essentials for them and the family members they care for. |
