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