**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

Experience has shown that we need to modify our strategies until best practice is achived with reassesment everytime the local scene changes whether politically or enviromently great advances being made via networking in the community at large between pupils at different campassess, staff and our agents. Willingness to go to law, refusal to pay any bribe. The habit of going to higher officials and getting them to save face with even higher officals gets the job done. This year has been one of survival and viability of our trustees to maintain their posts. All three trustees have beeen necessarily engaged in looking after parents with severe dementia and the ceo took a massive stroke a few days before a 50 day visit was due to Uganda.  There was no time for fund raising when up to 168 hours a week care was needed for these individuals. So the trustees started providing by sacrifical giving and the selling of cars houses and raids on pension funds. So we doubled down to see what could be done for the childrens and staff welfare, we were tremendously encouraged when the children themselves decided to pray for us the trustees. They understood strokes as a death sentance and sick relatives as a responsibility. The attitude was if God is real and if he cares and really listens to us and we are worth something as his children then he will listen if we pray. And God did listen. To those little mites the ceo had a second stroke that stopped the unstoppable damage being caused by the first by blocking off that area of the brain and sealing it totally. So what did we salvage in this time. We kept vehicles maintained to foster intercommunity links. For food was provided to bridge late harvests and the strategy of dealing direct with farmers twice a year at the dual harvests of Uganda became due. We bought food in quantities that would last children for a term at a time and at a time of late planting and late arrival of the new crop due to late rains which gave us a 9 week gap in food instead of a three when food would run out between harvests our reputation for fair play paid off as many farmers saved their seed stocks for the children yeilding an extra 6.5 tonnes of badly needed grain. The home grown food initiatives provided a huge boost to morale as one community developed a suggested piece of land that produced gigantic casava roots 4 to 5 feet long instead of the normal footlong tubours the school brightlights that grew them had enormous fun measuring the children against them. Then when the repaired vehicles came and delivered grain to brightlights the giant casava roots where delivered to Katanga childrens school and enntebbe milled down to flour. So one of our objectives was acheived in the support network between the three communities. With deep freindships between our agents developing and the sharing of encouragment and inovation of these agents and inspiration of the children to work for a future. The children developed links as well. Introduction of electricity to brightlights and the addition of printers and internet meant that twenty year old books were replaced and the latest crriculum could be followed with worksheets for each child instead of the teacher doing their best out of old textbooks one peer teacher. This has so stimulated learning that brightlights has improved average grades by two levels. Giving the school as best in region. A base for a bathroom and shower block was built in the wrong location.  When a localbuildier took matters into his own hands. This was aborted a strong message

being sent and understood. We had a video message from a little girl who because of a very low river was dirtier after a bucket shower than when she started. This was funny but highlighted a real problem at brightlights. Low waterlevels where causing disease to malnourished kids resulting in frequent epidemics. I refused to buy a motorbike to haul contaminated water as it would only solve the problem of accidents to the children carrying jericans in a crocodile along poor roads those roads had already caused two children to be run over by a drunk lorry driver. I new a filtration system would need unsustainable maintenance. Due to sandy soil the african toilets essentially are a hut built over a 50 to 70 foot hole in the ground would contaminate the ground waterr that was available at aprox 100 feet. So from an arial photograph and the measurements taken on my first visit we drew up a roof catchment scheme initially providing 10000 litres of fresh water whenever rain occurs. Kids were dancing in the rain, parents were going round the school stroking the tanks it took 7 weeks start to finish and a storm the day it finished apparently 10000 litres of cool clean fresh water was a sight never seen by most parents, so a great success and one very happy little girl. So we have made it a policy to attach guttering to all new builds and water collection tanks to every project. A new toilet block to replace a decrepit collapsed building has gained an increase to 12000 litres capacity at Brightlights and the protocol is being adopted at the Kantanga childrens village, with the first 2000 litre capacity being attached to the new toilet block there which will give a backup to a partially hand dug well. We hope to encourage the well for agricultural and washing while building capacity for quality supplies for cooking and drinking. Secondary use of grey water is taking longer to initiate. Showers could drain to agricultural drains supplying sub surface water to the small fields being cultivated at root level allowing 40 to 60 percent increase in crop for the same amount of work as seeds are planted at 150 mm intervals instead of the 450 intervals that equate to the normal rainfall. Success of the harvest can be further enhanced if there is too little rain as the grain swells release of grey water to the system will stop crop failure. We have found piped water to Entebee failed as a few plants were raised but the school abused and didn’t put money by for the utility bill resulting in the water meter being removed multiple times.  This was one symptom of mismanagement and poor practice and false accounting and general incompentacy of a proud headmaster who wouldn’t take advice from us or localy supplied experts. We have invested an exsesive amount in this school and finally have pulled the rug and disowned our connection to it. For our aim has always been to bring our communities to self financing. Our charity will cease in two years so all our efforts are being placed with Katanga childrens mission and Brightlights pirimary school as these two will achive and be self sustaining.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

The private pharmacy has drastically cut hospital admissions by stocking **Summary of the main** drugs for the 8 most common children’s diseases.  A pharmacy in each **achievements of the charity** community is needed in light of dirt tracks being washed away in the **during the year** rainy season. Provision of computer equipment after assisting in electricity being installed has already led to mid term improvement in children’s grades. Improved nutrition and medical care seems set to have an exponential improvement in pupil acheivement. Our communities have only experienced 3 deaths which is 10% of the death rate in the surrounding villages bearing in mind we support 1200 children which is growing each year.
