Umoja is committed to transparency as we continue to grow our mission as a philanthropic player in web3.

Thus, we’ll be releasing regular reports that outline the costs and rough allocations of our proceeds to Dasom Ministries Orphanage in Kampala, Uganda through Dasom’s Director Muwonge Joel.

As a new initiative, we’ll kick off in this report with a snapshot of all 2023 proceed activity, including a summary of monthly donation amounts to Dasom and a rough breakdown of how the funds were allocated based on Joel’s reporting.

Moving forward, these reports will be published on a quarterly basis and show the activity of the previous three months.

Expense key

Most expenses are bucketed into five categories: food, supplies, medicine, education, and operational.

Below is a brief overview of the types of expenses that fall under each category.

• Food: This includes ingredients for regular meals, as well as occasional snacks like ice cream and yogurt. Meal ingredients purchased on a monthly basis include milk, onions, green peppers, beans, sugar, salt, rice, and potatoes.

• Supplies: This category covers the regular purchase of toiletries like toilet paper and soap, as well as clothing purchased on an ad hoc basis.

• Medicine: This covers the cost of medicine, vaccinations, and medical care for check-ups and treatments.

• Education: These costs include tuition for all 17 Dasom residents ($2,400 per trimester), books and school supplies, and occasional field trips.

• Operational: Included in this category are electricity and water bills and staff payments.
