In October, the Guardian launched its three-year development project, to improve the lives of the 25,000 inhabitants of Katine, a village district in rural Uganda.
In this special edition of Newsdesk, Mark King is joined by Guardian photographer Dan Chung to explain where your donations go, how aid works, and how lives are being changed.
Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger explains the thinking behind Katine, and we hear from our other development partners at Amref and Barclays bank about their specific roles in the scheme. Also in the programme, Anushka Asthana reports on the state of education in the village, and we hear from Job Opalot, a local journalist in Uganda, about how the villagers will be celebrating christmas.
To get involved with the Katine project - and to donate - head to our website, where you'll also find videos, slideshows, blogs and an interactive map of the village.
