2005 Report

Lilly Orphanage Kindergarten is a non political not for profit charitable organization that was established to offer free basic education to orphans irrespective of sex, creed, colour and tribe.  The organization registers both orphans and non-orphans.  The non-orphans pay a subscribed tuition fee for the services rendered to them by the charity's staff. We also undertake income generating projects to subsidize to the school fees collected from the non-orphans and any other monies so donated to the charity by a well wisher.

We have for the year ending collected 3,800,000/=  shillings from those parents who managed to pay the dues for tuition.  This has left us with a balance of 700,000/= shillings in debt. This situation has significantly contributed to the retardation of the management in the organisation.

  EXPENDITURES

Salaries 
The organization has in place 8 full time teachers (teaching staff), 1 cook, 1 bursar, 1 secretary, 1 watchman who are paid salaries monthly for the services so rendered as follows: 

1. Namwanje Priscilla (patron/ teacher / director) 100,000/=
2. Nakato Yudaya (nursery teacher) 60,000/=
3. Kyompaire Passy (primary 1 teacher) 60,000/=
4. Babirye Ester (primary 2 teacher) 60,000/=
5. Nantumbwe margaret (primary 3 teacher) 70,000/=
6. Kirya Fred (primary 4 teacher) 80,000/=
7. Mutimba Richard (primary 5 teacher) 80,000/=
8. Lwanga Bob (primary 6 teacher /project coordinator) 80,000/= 

The number of teachers indicated herein is so small compared to the required number. This however is due to the fact that we have little funds in place to cater for a bigger and suitable number.  All salaries paid by the charity to its staff are monthly and are only covered during schooling days on the school calendar i.e. holidays are not covered since there is no business carried by the charity. 

Non-Teaching Staff
1. Namuyomba Euria (bursar) 55,000/=
2. Wotali Sarah (Secretary) 55,000/=
3. Nsubuga Peter (Cook) 55,000/=
4.Okello Johnson (night watchman) 60,000/= 

Money for the salaries is raised from income generating projects and tuition fees collected from non-orphans.  However, some children are from low income earning families thus slow returns form them have been experienced this year rendering the charity's management almost a failure.

Scholastics
Money has been spent on the purchase of books, pens, pencils, uniforms stockings etc for children under our care. this money amounted .to 500,000/=

Rent
The charity is being managed on rented land. This is land owned by St. Stevens Church ,which is located just opposite Lilly Orphanage Kindergarten. The charity pays 1,200,000/= Uganda shillings per annum for the land rent. This is an equivalence of 666.67 US$. 

Furniture
The charity managed to purchase classroom furniture worth 300,000/= to relatively combat the problem of lack of furniture in the classrooms. 

Food
There are 20 children who are looked after by the organisation in relatively established home. The money are also spent on their food and essential commodities like soap, water bills, electricity bills, medical care. etc.  This year these expenditures added up to  2,340,000/= 

The charity also provides lunch and breakfast for her staff and children at school who pay an aditional fee of 5,000/= per child for food (this fee is additional to the school fees of 30,000/= per term of three months)

Accommodation
The patron offered 2 rooms in her residence to accommodate the children permanently residing in the orphanage. 8 triple beds were purchased to cater for their bedding.

Stationary
Being a school, the charity spends on stationary.  For the year ending, LOK spent some money on the purchase of school chalk, manila paper for making charts used for illustrative purposes during the lessons etc.  This amounted to 245.000/=.

We also paid for external exams which we normally sit at the end of each term of three months. this helps us to build a strong and firm standard in the field of education. This has cost us 450,000/=.

Miscellaneous
In addition to all the above Lilly Orphanage spent some of her collection on the following:
a. Annual post office box rental fee of 35,000/=
b. Letterheads worth 50,000/=

e. Postage: the charity had a lot of mail to send to different destinations worth 45,000/=
f. Transport for the staff: staff had to move up and down trying to see things work out in then best way possible worth 640,000/= for 8 teachers
g. Telephone calls: where need arose communication by phone was done this covered 300,000/=
h. Internet :time and money has been spent on surfing and sending e-mails through out the year this has cost the charity 60,000/=
i. Purchase of a computer set.  The charity hopes and plans to introduce computer studies in upper classes next year so the set so purchased shall be used for illustrative purposes during the lessons.  The set cost 400,000/=

INCOME GENERATING PROJECTS 

The charity undertakes income generating -projects like the one in place now (manure making and pesticide production project).  The products from this project are sold off to clients like both extensive and small scale farmers, horticulturalists and city gardeners who use our products to increase on the yield of their crops for our products render the soils fertile and are completely chemical free.

The charity spent money on the purchase of sacks for packing the products, jerry cans for packing liquid pesticides, tools like spades, rakes, gloves etc.

The project has for the year ending generated 2,500,000/= shillings however it still lags behind due lack of enough funds.

We so far have 380 fully registered young orphans with the charity. We keep receiving more inquiries and requests but due to lack of finances, we find it impossible to register more.
