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

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

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.
Due to an increase in our regular income,
we were able to increase the teachers’
salaries at Kakagate by 35%. We have also
provided funds for an administrative role
and office, for the support of 4 orphans to
enable them to continue their schooling
and a Christmas gift for all staff at both
schools.
The principal capital projects over the last
12 months have included completing the
water projects at both schools by providing
electrical pumping systems for the borehole
at Kakagate and the well at Kyehimba.
Electrical wiring and a lightening conductor
were also installed at Kakagate. Three new
classrooms were built at Kakagate with
funds raised in memory of Marion Dutton.
Staff accommodation for 10 staff was
constructed at Kyehimba, along with new
boys’ toilets. New girls’ toilets and a
washroom were built at Kakagate.
Computers and a printer were provided for
the staff at Kyehimba. Uniforms/polo shirts
were purchased for the staff at both
schools and uniforms provided for extra
pupils at Kakagate.
By this provision, including the improved
standard of classrooms and
accommodation for both staff and pupils,
morale has been raised which has shown
itself in a marked reduction in staff turnover
especially at Kakagate.| A team of 8 trustees and supporters from the UK visited Uganda in June, allowing us to renew our relationship with the staff and pupils and to see first-hand the ongoing needs at the schools. ## **Additional information (optional)** |**Additional information (optional)**|**Additional information (optional)**|**Additional information (optional)**| |---|---|---| |You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:||| |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|In summary, we have £26,898 cash funds
in the bank at 31.03.2025, £2,000 of which
is held in our reserve fund. The balance of
the funds will be used towards the building
of new dormitories at Kakagate 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. Legacies have also
become a significant source of income.
Gift Aid also enhances our income.
We are currently looking into raising further
funds through applications to grant-making
bodies.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and

risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|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
