Objectives and activities The objects of the charity are: to advan the Christian faith by supporting and promoting the charitable work of World Shine Ministries in Uganda. To facilitate visits between Uganda and the UK. To identify opportunities for short-term and longer-tenn volUntrS to serve with World Shine Ministries in Uganda and elsewhere. To oversee the distribution of funds raised in support of the work of World Shine Ministries in Uganda and elsewhere. To work in partnership with other evangelical Christian organisations in raising awareness of the spiritual and material needs of people in Africa. The main activities of the charity are the regular monthly remittance of funds to the World Shine Ministries Offi in Kampala to pay for the education of sponsored children in the World Shine Foundation Nursery and Primary School in Rwentobo, South West Uganda, young people attending other secondary and vocational schools in the same area, and a small number of students in colleges and universities mostly in Kampala. Children's letters and school reports are sent to their sponsors three times a year as they are r1Ved from Uganda. The trustees also host and arrange speaking engagements for World Shine Ministries, personnel when they visit the UK to preach and update supporters on the progress of the work. Structure, governance and management Type of governing document The charity is unincorporated and is govemed by a Deed of Trust. Trustee recruitment and appointment Trustees are recruited by invrting supportive individuals, groups and churches to nominate suitable people. Vacancies are advertised by word of mouth, on the World Shine UK website, at the Conferen and the AGM. Trust&s are appointed by a fully constituted trustees, meeting once a signed declaration has been received. No other organisation can appoint trustees.
Achievements and performance About 100 children were supported in education, most of whom attended World Shine Foundation Nursery and Primary School with 22 attending a variety of secondary and vocational schools in the area. Approximately 16 students were supported in Universty and further education. Several young people, mostly graduates, were supported to work as intems and volunteers with World Shine Ministries in Kampala and Rwentobo. A clinic built next to Ihe World Shine School campus celebrated its first anniversary in May 2020. The clinic offers general adult and child outpatient services, in-patient services, ante-natal care, family planning and laboratory sep41S. It is hoped that immunisation, post-natal care and child and young person ServIS may also be provided in the near future. By agreement, the clinic which was funded by Mission Rwentobo based in Tonbridge UK is managed and operated by the Church of Uganda Kisiizi Hospital. The agreement has also given the community in Rwentobo asS to Kisiizi Hospital's pioneering medical Insuran scheme which has been well reiVed locally. All sponsored students have been enrolled on the scheme. A secure, designated part of the clinic building is used as the sickbay for children attending World Shine School. Our partners, Mission Rwentobo continue to fund equipment, staff and other ongoing costs. In May 2020, World Shine UK sent £1.750 to Kisiizi Hospital for pandemic relief. Because of measures taken by the Government of Uganda in response to the pandemic, the school was closed from March 2020 until October 2020 when the Primary 7 pupils and those in Secondary 3 and 5 were allowed to return to prepare for and srt exams. Another group returned on 1 March 2021. Sponsorship payments for primary children continued to be remitted to Uganda throughout the year so that school staff coukl be paid and hardship avoided for children and their families. Supporters responded to an appeal to provide relief for families adversely affected by the lockdown. In May 2020 £1,750 sent to World Shine Ministries was used to provide food parcels to 78 needy families in the Rwentobo area. Smaller donations for pandemic relief were sent periodically during the year. Clarifying financial accountability and governan issues in Uganda has been a priority for the trustees during this year. The trustees have sought to effect improvements in the clarity and consistency of financial reporting from the school at Rwentobo. They have also sought to assist World Shine Ministries to strengthen areas of governan and financial accountsbility that have been causing concern. Unfortunately, the response from the Board of World Shine Ministries has fallen short of the trustees, expectations. In the absence of the information requested from Uganda, the UK trustees proposed that another
reputable, Christian organisation with a track record in education be identifEd which would run the schwl in Rwentobo independently of World Shine Ministries. This proposal was leCted by Worfd Shine Ministnes. The UK trustees concluded that they coukl no longer partner with World Shine Ministries and fulfil their obligations as trustees. They, therefore. decided they will be tsking steps to wind up the chanty as soon as possible. Financial review Statement of the charity's policy on reserves The charity has no employees or propety and accordingly does nol sk to hold more Ihan a nominal reserve. Future plans The trustees will be seeking approval from OSCR for World Shine Foundation (World Shine UK) to cease operating as a charity. The trustees will communicate to supporters, sponsors and other stskeholders their decision to tske appropriate steps to dissolve the Trust. Declaration Signed on behalf of the charity trust..
