Para 1.17 | The object of the CIO is for the public benefit, to advance the education of individuals in Uganda who are not fully engaged with education by: a. Delivering sessions and providing resources for the teaching the subjects of computer literacy, teaching skills and the importance of education; and b. Providing grants to like- minded organisations so that they may purchase learning resources to enhance educational outcomes. |

We have been in receipt of donations that during this period have been saved whilst determining best use. This has involved establishing a network of trusted connections of like-minded individuals and organisations based in both Uganda and elsewhere. Activity has been slower than desired during this initial period but we will have a lot more to report on in this next report. |

Para 1.20 | Donation generated have been slow but purposeful and an increase on previous years. In this reporting window donations have been made to support our objectives in Uganda and increase access to education, support has also been provided intellectually, and a lot of guidance had been given to organisations around their educational pursuits. This has led to the strengthening of relationships formed and for us to continue to learn more about the context that we are supporting. 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. There is also a secondary core local partner relationships with have formed now too. |
