the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|Christian Hope Uganda (UK) primarily
supports the provision of quality Christian
education to children in south-west
Uganda, especially those from
disadvantaged backgrounds. By doing so,
we aim to relieve the poverty experienced
by many in this part of the world, to
promote the education of children to
enhance their life prospects and enrich
their communities, and to advance the
Christian faith to give them a solid
foundation for life and hope for the future.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public

activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The charity raises awareness of the needs
in Uganda and encourages prayer and
financial support from individuals and
churches in the United Kingdom.
The funds are used by our partner
organisation in Uganda, Christian Future
Hope Uganda, to provide for such things as
teachers’ salaries, school meals,
equipment, buildings, seed-funding for
income-generating projects, support for
individuals and families and training.| |Statement confirming

confident we fulfil its requirements.
We currently support the education of

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|The charity has continued to provide the
salaries for the majority of the staff at the
two schools, as well as support for the
provision of meals for both staff and pupils.
We have also provided funds for an
administrative role and office.
The principal capital projects over the last
12 months involved the provision of water
at both schools – a deep borehole at
Kakagate and a well at Kyehimba. These
have both provided a good source of water.
Thirty additional desks were provided at
Kyehimba as well as jumpers for all the
pupils. At Kakagate, uniforms were
provided for all pupils. A motorbike was
also provided for the Director of Kakagate
School, both to provide a means of
transport for him and also to support him
and the children he has taken into his care.
Progress was made in the provision of
safeguarding policies and procedures for
both schools. The trustees of the charity
also studied a course, “Helping without
Hurting”, on how to empower those we
seek to help as we provide support. During
the period of this report, we very sadly lost
one of our founding trustees, Marion
Dutton, who passed on in October. Funds
in her memory were raised to build three
new classrooms at Kakagate school, which
was to be implemented at the start of the
next financial year.
The provision of water at both schools has
significantly benefited the schools in terms
of having reliable water supplies for their
own use as well as helping their local| communities It has also helped reduce costs for the schools. Morale at the schools was significantly enhanced by the provision of the uniforms and jumpers. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
Achievements against
objectives set|
Para 1.41|
These achievements very much fulfilled the
aims of the charity in terms of the relief of
poverty and the advancement of education
and the Christian faith. As we saw on a
recent visit to the schools though, there is
still much to be done.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|In summary, we have £15,560 cash funds
in the bank at 31.03.2024. Of this amount,
approximately £4,000 is designated for the
completion of the water project at Kakagate
School, £6,000 is designated for the new
classrooms to be built at Kakagate and
£2,000 is held in our reserve account. The
balance of the funds will be used towards
the building of the new classrooms as well
as other projects identified in the coming
months.
We have been able to continue to meet all
our regular funding commitments in terms
of salary, admin and food support, as well
as fully fund the capital projects selected
over the last 12 months.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Our reserves policy can be found on our
website.
In summary, as we have no legal
obligations to provide services and as the
demands on our funding always exceed the
funds available, we have decided to keep
approximately one month’s regular funding
in reserve. We are fortunate that our
supporters are both generous and quick to
respond to needs and so we are confident
that we can raise emergency essential
funding if the occasion arises.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£2000| |Reasons for holding zero

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|
Para 1.47|
Our principal source of funds for the
ongoing projects we support is the regular
giving by individuals and churches. We also
benefit from one-off gifts particularly in
response to a particular need that has
arisen or a development project that is
being undertaken.
Gift Aid also enhances our income.
We are currently looking into raising further
funds through applications to grant-making
bodies.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|n/a| |||| |---|---|---| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The principal risks that we face are:
- a lack of personnel to run the charity,
especially as the current trustees grow
older
- the loss of some of our long-term
supporters due to their advancing age
- a change in the willingness of the
government in Uganda to allow support
from abroad.
We are currently working on a strategy to
promote the work in order to broaden our
support base both in terms of financial
support and people involved. We are also
working on funding projects to enable the
schools to become more self-sufficient and
less dependent upon overseas aid.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
