The charity is governed by the CIO Foundation Constitution and considered to be a Trust with the Trustees all appointed by Jarah Koomson.
**Summary of the** The objects of the CIO are to advance the education, the relief of poverty; **objectives of the charity** and the promotion of good health of children and young people in Uganda, **as set out in its** and such other poverty affected countries as the CIO may deem appropriate **governing document** in future, in particular but not exclusively by providing: (1) teaching in schools, educational resources, outreach teaching programmes in communities; (2) accommodation and multi-use centres to serve as places of education, community support and healthcare; (3) social, well being and sustainable resources; (4) Financial and material assistance by making grants to individuals and organisations to achieve the above.
**Education Purpose** : Kulira aims to facilitate the educational needs by giving access to resources and materials that enables a consistent avenue of learning for the public benefit of young people in Uganda including their local communities. This includes but is not limited to; providing individuals with grants to pay for school fees and assisting with salary costs of teachers where needed.
**Health:** Kulira aims to act as a financial conduit between deprived young people in Uganda and medical services by providing financial assistance for urgent care.
Kulira also aims to provide playgrounds for young people in deprived areas in Uganda.
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
During this period, Kulira has organised several fundraising events specifically to support the two orphanages with which we have partnered. The funds raised have been directed towards essential building refurbishments and providing critical supplies for the children, including food, clean water, and healthcare necessities.
In addition to generating much-needed financial support, these fundraising events have also served as effective marketing initiatives, significantly increasing awareness of Kulira's mission. This heightened visibility has resulted in a notable rise in monthly donations and sponsorships, enabling more children from our partnered orphanages to attend school.
We are in regular communication with communities in Uganda, specifically the orphanages we support, the provide regular updates and evidence to ensure the funds are being utilised as intended. Furthermore, the trustees of Kulira hold regular meetings to review and oversee the proper allocation and use of these resources.
Kulira has launched a monthly newsletter to keep sponsors and donors informed about the well-being of the children they sponsor and the progress of ongoing projects; including the library project, which will also serve as a recreational centre for young people with the community. This newsletter serves as a vital communication tool, providing updates on the impact of donations and fostering a strong connection between our supporters and the children benefiting from their generosity.
## **Charity’s policy on reserves**
Kulira aims to maintain reserves at a level equivalent to 3 months of operating expenditure. This level will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate given the charity’s size, scope, and financial circumstances.
## **Declaration**
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustee’s report above.
