teaching the subjects of computer literacy,

activities, projects or
services identified in the

during this period have been saved whilst
determining best use. This has involved
establishing a network of trusted

organisations based in both Uganda and
elsewhere.

|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|Donation generated have been slow but
purposeful.
In this reporting window no donations were
made to activities, but support has been
provided intellectually, and a lot of
guidance had been given to organisations
around their educational pursuits.
This has led to meaningful relationships
formed that we have been able to build on
(and will report on next time) and for us to
learn more and more about the context that
we intend to support.
One key fundraising partner was a local
school and through this process students at
this school benefitted immensely too. They
learned a lot about what it means to be a
global citizen and to have a right to an
education.|
