Who We Are – Mityana Projects Trust

mityana_project_trust_3_header

The Mityana Project Trust is based in North West Hampshire about 12 miles north of Winchester. Our link began through and continues to be supported by the Whitchurch Deanery in the Church of England diocese of Winchester. All our primary schools are linked with schools in Uganda, and over 150 people from our villages and communities in the Deanery have visited Mityana. Our charitable status came through at the end of 2011 when we realised that for tax relief on donations including gift aid, for better financial accountability and to make the point of our ongoing commitment we’d be crazy not to.

We are a very small non-governmental, UK registered charity, committed to ensuring that we are financially accountable, We aim to promote and support sustainable projects so that every penny donated will make a lasting difference in Mityana.
