within our areas of operation.
Sponsorship Scheme:
At the heart of UgandAid is the sponsorship scheme, through which we offer hope to vulnerable youngsters, the poorest of the poor in Uganda (our current area of operation), by sponsoring vocational training (primarily at Nile Vocational Institute) leading to personal growth, confidence, employment and self-sufficiency. A life-changing, life-giving opportunity for hundreds of students and their extended families. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the** Annual trip to Uganda: **public benefit in relation to these objects (include within** In February members of the charity trustees and operations team lead a **this section the statutory** group of like-minded people to Jinja in Uganda, providing the opportunity **declaration that trustees have** to meet the students. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public** The trustees confirm that they have taken into account the Charity **benefit)** Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our purpose and objects and in carrying out our activities.

Anyone joining an annual trip to Uganda are also volunteers.
From time to time, one of these volunteers may give a presentation to an
organisation, such as a school, college or company and many get
involved in fundraising.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Our work has been twofold; the sponsoring of students at Nile Vocational Institute and practical and financial support of local organisations.
At the start of 2024 we were able to advise NVI that we could take on 40 new students, including any upgrading students. It was our privilege to meet all 40 during our Team visit in February 2025.
During the Team visit we were able to refurbish the library, which was the final room in the Domestic Technology Building to be refurbished. The work on the building commenced in 2020, with a new roof and rainwater harvesting system. During each Team Visit since the completion of this construction work, we focused our efforts on refurbishing each of the ground floor rooms, including the Catering Department, the Textiles Department and now the library.
In October 2025, 32 UgandAid students were able to attend their graduation; a joyful occasion for all involved.
