DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY YEARLY REPORT BETWEEN APRIL 2008 –MARCH 2009
2008/2009
The Report depicts the narrative and quantified activities of the Organization that were carried out at the head office of Daughters of Charity and St. Michael Children’s Home.
2
Introduction:
Recovery process of an institution is a tedious venture. Daughters of Charity has not
been an exception of this rule. The period under review has essentially been a
recovery process. The main activities were instituting a credible management for the
organisation, recovery of the lost assets ( land) looking for funds to facilitate
Daughters of Charity needs, recruitment of credible staff to execute these duties,
convincing the stake holders mainly our donors to put trust in the new management
and fighting the endless battles with the expelled Administrator. This work has not
been easy at all due to lack of adequate funds to execute the decisions made. The
work required the spirit of voluntarism which many a time involved life risks.
However with the little that was available, the management succeeded to contain the
adverse attacks from her opponents and realised significant progress in as far as
fulfilment of the objectives of the Organisation is concerned.

5. Jane Nnalweyiso Cook St. Michael Children’s Home.
Donors relationship with Organisation:
A cordial respecting working relationship was initiated with all our partners. Monthly
meetings were held with our partners ( the Children of Uganda ) where all
management issues were deliberated on. Help Uganda Trust was also impressed by
the progress so far realised. However the country’s problems in the legal system and
the bureaucratic implications involved delayed and jeopardized all chances for justice
to take its course. This rendered the management to appear inefficient.
5
( Fr. John Pearson Cerebrating Mass at St. Michael Children’s Home ).
Assets recovery and Protection:
Daughters of Charity owned a lot of physical assets mostly land and buildings.
Unfortunately many of these assets were lost to grabbers and there is little hope of
recovering these assets. The major problem lies on the fact that by the time these
assets were acquired, there was no practice of institutional management in this
Organisation. The management centred on individuals. Assets of the Organisation
were acquired and registered in the names of managers who were in charge by then.
This has jeopardised most of the legal proceedings where the organisation would
enjoy easy victory. Among the assets we have lost are Nnamugongo land of more
than 22 acres, Bweyogerere garages and many other properties to mention but a few,
which were registered in the names of the late Mayanja and now allegedly sold by
Wasswa and the Widow of Mayanja.
Furthermore the available land is facing innumerable problems namely squatters, and
forgers. For example a piece of land from Mpala land has been grabbed by the Former
Social worker who claims that it was sold to him by the Administrator, Sr. Rose and
Madam Teo Lubega who was a coordinator by then. We are trying to seek help from
the courts of law. Our major Problem is lack of funds to facilitate the move.
However we have proposed to the Board of Trustees to set up a land committee with
experts to handle these problems.
Vote of thanks:
The management is very grateful to the donors. Namely: Help Uganda trust and
Children of Uganda. It is their funds and support that have enabled us to do what we
have achieved during this period.
6
Furthermore we want to express our appreciation the Board of Trustees and founders
for their selfless work which they have exhibited in this period. We take this
opportunity to recognise the major contribution in terms of time, management skills
and finance which the Chairman of the Board Mr. Leo Kibirango and his colleges
contributed to restore the Organisation.
Way Forward:
Our major emphasis during the coming period will be to boost the income generation
from the existing projects ( Function items hiring project, Bakery project and the
Dance troupe ) so that enough funds are realised to support our programs. Our target
is to realise funds from these projects that will facilitate at least 30% of our
expenditure. Furthermore we need to recruit more technical staff to support the
program. Currently we have vacancies on our staff i.e Accounts personnel and
program assistant. However we need funds to pay these staff.
On the other hand, we need to consider seriously the problem of asset recovery
mainly land. This might be done through empowering the home management
committees to take on this responsibility. The major limiting factor is funds. We have
to open up the boundaries of our land, negotiate for possible relocation or
compensation of the squatters etc.
We are still negotiating with our partners recruitment of children especially at
Kiwanga Charity Home where it is still vacant.

ANNUAL REPORT FROM EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ( April 2008 –

We come together as a family of St. Michael Children’s Home and thank God who
blessed us with his protection throughout the year. It has been a year full of risks and
uncertainties but by God’s favour, we have managed to overcome them.

1. ACADEMIC Performance for Candidates:
This year’s general performance indicated a steady improvement of all students in all
classes at different levels of education. On nursery level we had six candidates and all
graduated successfully to primary level. On primary level we had four candidates and
have already joined secondary level at Tender Talent Magnet school. On ordinary
level we had fourteen students and those who qualified for A-level have joined new
schools, the rest have joined tertiary institutions for various courses for certificate or
diplomas. On advanced level we had one student.
10
In other classes all children were promoted except one student i.e. Nabisaso Tracy
who repeated P.1. TABLE SHOWINGING CHILDREN’S PERFORMANCE AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF

2. Students meetings:
We held students meetings during term holidays, in the second term we held four
students meetings, while in the third term holiday only two meetings were held
because students were visiting their parents / guardians. In these meetings children
were given opportunity to share their experiences with the staff and made suggestions
for the betterment of their education.
3. Staff meetings:
Fortnightly staff meetings were held, where the head of the department would share
her findings from the schools visited and children’s conditions noted. This helped us
to work together as one staff of St. Michael children’s home, and to generate
collective ideas and plans for good education of our children.
Heads of department’s meetings are also held two times a month. In such meetings
programs are designed for each department.
3. FATHER JOHN’S holiday visits:
11
( Fr. John, Daniel volunteer from UK, and Fr. Kabali with Children of St.
Michael)
Father John visited us three times during the term holidays:- 14th
/May/2008- 28th
May
2008, 1st September 2008-12
th September 2008, and 21
st Jan 2009 -4
th February 2009.
During his visits special education programs were organised for the children of St.
Michael Children’s Home. We had two Picnics at Kisubi Resort Beach where they
enjoyed swimming, various sports activities and delicious meals.
4. HOME VISTATION:
( Aunt Florence Mukwaya the Children’s Coordinator at the family of Mayengo)
We started the system of visiting children’s homes to find out the living conditions of
their families. The following children were visited during the period: Bukusuba
Kenneth, Mugisha Edmond, Nnagujja Passy, Kayima Jonathan, Muyomba Simon
Peter and Lubega Vincent.
We noted two categories of children according to what we observed from the families
of those visited, namely Needy vulnerable children mainly Orphans and Children
from Problematic families ( step parents situations). We found out that parents
/guardians of the second category would contribute more towards their children’s
education. Guardian and Parents of children falling in the second category were
approached and asked to pay fees for their children. Others were encouraged to
contribute as much as they could for the scholastic materials. This policy started
working with the first term of 2009 specifically for parents of Bukusuba Kenneth and
Mugisha Edmond.
5. CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
12
( Children of St. Michael enjoying a swim at Kisubi Resort Beach )
We had quiet a number of activities and clubs where we engaged our children. The
first one was in Movement Art for social change; This Organisation helped our
children to develop their own identities and initiatives. The children had weekly
sessions where they expressed themselves through art. This developed their faculty of
creativity and built self confidence in them.
The next one is the Nsambya Parish Youth Club which held their meetings for the
youth at St. Michael Children’s Home every week during holidays. This helped our
children to associate with their fellow youth in the Parish and contributed more in the
community.
We started MDD club at home where our children participated and developed their
talents in Music and dancing. At the same time these activities keep them busy and
avoid boredom and temptations of their age.
6. DISPLINE:
We continued to enjoy improved discipline among most of our children in the home
and at the schools where they studied. However we got two cases where children were
given serious punishments. Wamukota William P.7 was expelled from the home on
18th
/Aug/2008 because of perpetual disrespect of the staff members of St. Michael
Children’s Home despite serious warnings from the management. Another one is
Babirye Martha S.6; this one was suspended from the school on 11th
/March/2009
because of misbehaving which is contrally to the school rules and regulations.
7. EDUCATION POLICY:
During this period, we started operating our education policy. We enforced it by
requiring all children and their parents/ guardians sign it and filed in their respective
files. The policy sets various limits of fees paid by Daughters of Charity for her
children on specific levels of education. However it also encourages parents and
guardian’s contributions, in case they want to take their Children to best schools.
There were two cases Kakooza Moses and Hebert Mwebembezi, whose guardians
opted for expensive schools. Kakooza Moses was taken to Seeta high where he pays
(802,500=.) St. Michael Children’s Home contributes 250,000= only. For Herbert,
the guardians failed to honour their promise and he was taken to our affordable
schools. Because of this policy Children were motivated to work harder to avoid the
consequence of joining vocational skills training after their O-level. Muhanguzi
Benson fell a victim of this policy. He never qualified for A-level and decided to
repeat Senior IV at his own expense being helped by his guardian.
13
8. APPRECIATION:
We are so grateful for the support of our donors, namely Help Uganda Trust and
Children of Uganda for the constant financial support they give to this program. We
also thank those who took the responsibility of following up the progress of our
children specifically Fr. John Pearson.
May the almighty God reward you abundantly.

- Buying monthly food
for the home.
- Finding donors to
facilitate the
increased cost.
-Help Uganda Trust

this cost. The
Home has been
enjoying first class
posho and beans
through the year.
- We managed to
introduce the
variety for children
for better diet: ie.
Silver fish mixed
with bean.
It would be good if we
start producing our own
food using the available
land. This would be done
during holidays where
children could be of some
help. However we need
transport to the distant
land in Kyaggwe.
3. Involving Parents
and Guardians in the
Children’s Education.
- Introduction of the
education policy.
- Guardians meeting:
holding
Parents/Guardians
annual meetings.

were held
fortnightly and
generated a lot
of issues about
the children’s
problems.
