Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The relief of poverty of orphans and poor children in Hoima Western Uganda
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We identified a need to secure the crops and newly installed well from thieves and wild animals. The main activity this year was to build a perimeter wall around the crops and newly installed well. The wall project will surround 4 acres of maize and beans. The project is to be divided into 3 phases over 2 years. This will benefit the local community by providing a safe and secure environment for crop growing and collecting clean water from the well.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The trustees familiarised themselves with the Charity Commission guidance in conjunction with the Diocesan Executive Director of Justice and Peace Commission in Hoima Uganda. The decision was taken to secure the land and well, as this would benefit the orphans, poor children and the wider local community in Hoima Uganda.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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	Construction of the wall has been divided in to 3 phases as a 2 year project. 1. Making the bricks 2. Building a kiln and firing the bricks 3. Digging the foundation and building the wall. Work commenced in Jan 2025 and the first and second phase has been completed this year. The bricks were moulded near the farm by local workers and when the bricks were made, a kiln was built to fire the bricks. This is a common African practice and it provided local employment and helped reduce the overall cost of the project. The kiln was built and the bricks fired in preparation for phase 3 building the wall.
