especially children.
Achievements and Performance
The Village is now firmly established and 170 homeless and underprivileged children are
now housed in either excellent accommodation built to government standards or the
Boarding Section at the Primary School. The Charity has provided resources, human and
financial for the development and maintenance of secure housing, educational and medical
facilities for the children.

Court orders for all children were renewed during the year and twelve children Ifour girls
and eight boys) came to live at the Home with instrurtion from the Probation Officer. With
regard to tracing relatives, nine cases were successful with fifteen remaining unsuccessful.
Four children were taken to Nakasongola prison to visit their mothers who are inmates.
Four children were taken for TV announcement and in one of those cases a little boy was
reunited with his parents. Guidance and counselling is provided to all children and the
charity works with the authorities in resettlement of children.
The children are educated in New Beginnings Nursery and Primary School opened in
February 2016 and results are continually showing an improvement with the school rated as
the highest in the Distrlct. At school, the food was catered within the proposed budget and
all children received the required diet. All scholastic materials were bought and utilised
according to their specific objectives. This enabled the school activities to run smoothly
during the year. The Primary School registered 32 candidates for their Primary Leaving
Examination and all of them passed well and joined High School. In addition, two children
sat their U.A.C.E and three sat their U.C.E. exams. Three children are on vocationèl courses
and one plans to start University studying a Bachelor of Medicine in January 2021 after
taking a year getting experience teaching Maths in the Primary School.
Regular health checks are provided by health care professionals who are employed within
the medical centre. The medical team were able to treat almost all illnesses with few cases
needing to be referred for specialist treatment. One little boy is nearing the end of his
treatment for cancer and is progressing well with a good report from the doctors.
Since starting over 200 acres of land has been purchased, and a developing farm is in
operation with further expansion each year. This will also provide practical education. The
farm was able to harvest maize, cassava, sweet potato and many ve8etables which reduced
on food expenses.
A successful water pumping system was installed in December 2016/January 2017 which
caused problems during 2019 and stopped working. It needed major maintenance work
which was carried out and access to water resumed.
From a spiritual perspective the children are well taught. They receive daily spiritual
Christian teaching and are encouraged to attend devotions daily and church weekly.
The Charity has Put in place significant and thorough management arrangements to
promote, protect, uphold and enforce the rights of vulnerable member5 of the society
especially children.
