Financial Accountability Financial Help: we are very aware that accountability is the by-word for all our support in Mityana. There are a few basic principles which we have used in the last three or four years: Schools: We try to take a selection of games, footballs etc, gifts for staff as well as a treat for the children: about two weeks supply of maize flour and sugar for their lunch. Each new school we visit is given £100 for repairs to buildings. Upon completion, further money is made available. Personal gifts: We will support all the clergy with a gift of £15 – knowing that they do not have a salary. There would be no personal gifts to individuals (although occasionally there have been one or two exceptions to this where individuals have given a lot of time to support our visit. Income Generating Projects: Money would be provided for these after group approval (ie those who have raised funds). In 2007 we gave money to a piglet project at one school and to Afinnet, to help finish an accommodation block. The Water Tank Project continues providing clean water for schools and clinics – harvesting the water of the roof into 10,000 litre tanks. This year we’ll send money for another 5, four in primary schools and one in a medical clinic. This tank was installed at Bukuya in 2007.
