Report:
The trustees have approved these accounts.
Once again, the charity continued its increased focus on distribution of funds to individuals from poor and destitute families in India and Pakistan, both via cash and food ration parcels. The continuing impact of the Covid pandemic meant that thousands of families in India and Pakistan were still unable to provide basic food and shelter for their families. A significant proportion of funds this year was again used to alleviate suffering for these destitute families to try and provide them with the basic necessities required to maintain their families. In support of this, more than 200 food parcels were distributed in Hyderabad, India during the month of Ramzan, in addition to the regular monthly support provided to families. In Pakistan, borewells continue to be built in as funds allow. Also, a sizeable donation was made to support families who were affected by the floods in Pakistan in the summer of 2022.
Apart from this, the relative proportions of donations to the various projects supported by the charity were broadly as before. Funding was provided to assist with food parcels, medical support for medicines and small operations, pensions, support with educational fees, and help to establish small businesses for men and women to allow them to become selfsufficient, with a key focus on improving educational outcomes for orphans and poor families. As in previous years, all the trustees' time spent on the charity's administrative activities has been purely voluntary. No remuneration is paid by the charity to anyone. All donations, including Gift Aid reclaimed, is used 100% to help the poor and needy, with all operational administrative costs being covered by the Trustees.
