Si￿a60￿58 Trustees 'Annual Report From 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2025 Objertives and activities Siyabonga seeks to put God's love into action by supporting the advancement of education and religion, the prevention or relief of poverty and the advancement of health in communities who need it most. We support families and youth in Uganda through donations and sponsors. We currently sponsor 15 young people in various stages of their education - primary/secondary/college/university. This includes covering school fees, scholastic materials, travel, accommodation and food during the School terms. We are nearing completion of our building project which will provide an office base, facilities for residential camp5, spaces for developing skills for future employment i.e. hairdressing, baking, sewing etc. ènd accommodation for respite. The specific objectives are= Ideritify and support yotjng people from less advantaged backgrounds to keep in school. Provide requisite scholastic kit to each student under the sponsorship pro£ram every year of study. Strengthen collaborètion with various stakeholders in beneficiary selection and establishing specific educational needs among others. Foster a culture of philanthropy amongst the community towards embracing and supporting the program.

SiLJaboh5a Achievements and Performance With God's blessing, all the young people in school managed to complete that year of studying without any encumbrance. No student repeated a class - all p355ed exceedingly well and moved on to their next class and level accordingly. Among the key milestones - We welcomed Vincent into Siyabonga. young boy with a passion for learning and for football. Vincent's family had fallen on hard times and were not able to pay for him to go to school. Thanks to a very kind donation from Templeton Bowling Club's annual charity bowling match Vincent was able to finish primary 7 and move into first year at High School with his fees covered for 2025 We're celebrating Calvin, who achieved top grades in Primary Leaving Exams and is now moving into Senior l at "sam's High School" We are thrilled that Ronitah successfully sat and passed her O Levels finishing in the top set- an excellent result as she moves into her second vear of high school, senior 5. The Boys 2 Men and Dignity programmes, run by Youth Consult, have also continued throughout the school holidays helping our high school students navigate life with the support of mentor5, Bible teaching, and of course, plenty of fun along the way. We were also able to keep our tradition before Christmas of giving each of the Siyabonga youth a food parcel for them and their families. Vuunt. & Ronitah

Siyabonga Building Project In 2022 we received funding to Start a building project from Adullam Inc, a charity registered in the USA and Scotland ISC0460231. Adullam Inc has been faithful in their giving over the last 314 years and have provided the majority of the funding to get the building to the stage it is at today. The building is on land owned by Siyabonga Milele Africa (Godfrey Lwanyaga is also Trustee of this charity in Ugandal in Wakiso, Kampala, Uganda. Our plan for this building 15 to have a place that can be used as an office Space, for respite, camps and workshops for the children and young people we support. We will also have a meeting space which can be hired out. Part of our purpose is to ble5S the community around our projects, and with this in mind, the well in the grounds of the building has two tanks so we are able to let the surrounding community use one of these. From laying foundations at the start of 2023 and sinking a well, we are now almost at completion ! In 202412025 the structure was fully built with roof and majority of windows in place, electricity, internet and our own water supply. Part of the building is already being used as an office space for the Youth Consult team, and, the remaining painting and tiling will be finished in 2026 when we can then start to use the building to its full potential.

Si¥aboh5a The children receiving their mosquito nets and having a lesson outside Butambala Nursery Butambala Nursery-formerly known as The School Under the Tree- ha5 continued to thrive and grow over the last few years. In 2024/25 we Started with 34 children registered, 2 teachers and a head teacher. The children'5 day is packed with lessons and fun and importantly they have 2 meals a day. Although the school ow has a classroom for the children with tables and chairs, lessons outside are still a part of the school day. We had a generous donation from one of our sponsors to provide the children with M05qUIto net5 to help curb malaria outbreaks. We continued with our tradition of providing the families with food parcels at Christmas Santa even made an appearance! BIJTAMBALA ￿￿1.,T1￿ CE

Future plans In 2026 our building project will be largely complete. The building has electricity, water and internet and is already being used as an office space for the Youth Consult team. Our next steps will be to employ a live-in caretaker and start to use the space for workshops to help young people develop skills for employment e.g sewing, hairdressing etc. We also hope to use the building for youth camps and respite. We will continue to support the children we have going through education by paying for their school fees, scholastic materials and meeting any other needs as they arise. We are also excited to help Butambala Nursey continue to grow. We have a vision to further expand the school to ultimately have space for children at nursery level, preschool and from primaries I through to 7. We will be looking to fundraise for this building work, for all of the classroom fixtures and fittings and for additional teacher5 and helpers. The number of children registered at the start of 2026 has tripled from last year and will continue to grow each year. We are looking forward to all the next year has in store for us and will share updates on our Facebook page and our website.
