Inspired by our faith and guided by our values, we envisage a peaceful world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond to the needs and suffering of others. 

Minhaj Welfare Foundation takes the principle view that there is no greater priority in life than to lift the poor out of poverty. 



## ABOUT US 

Minhaj Welfare Foundation was founded in 1989 as a compassionate response to the rise of inequaliy and poverty in Pakistan. Since then it has been serving and striving to make the world a better and fairer place. 

One of the key and foremost reasons for the establishment of Minhaj Welfare Foundation was to establish a network of schools that will provide a quality education that is accessible to the economically deprived communities of Pakistan. 

MWF strongly believes that education is the most crucial foundation stone of any society; without which the development and progress of any nation is not achievable. 

Since our establishment, we have built 640 educational institutions including schools, colleges, libraries and a University catering for well over 150,000 students and through this we are contributing to the livelihoods of over 7000 families hrough the employment of our academic and administrative staff. 

MWF strongly adheres to the philosophy that education should be supplemented with rigorous moral and ethical training so that the students make a positive contribution to the development of their communities. 

Based on this our Education program provides a holistic education that empowers children to lead productive and successful lives. 

Today, through its worldwide network Minhaj Welfare Foundation is growing as a leading international grassrootled organisation. We are proud of the achievements made by MWF so far and know that there is still much to do. 

We thank all of our supporters, volunteers and MWF staff for their continuous support and endevours in saving lives around the world.

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## OBJECTIVES AND AIMS 

The organisation, Minhaj-ul-Quran Welfare Foundation ‘MWF’ is a registered charity and was established by a Trust Deed made on the 10th May 2000, which was first amended on the 7th December 2000 and registered with the Charity Commission on the 11th December 2000. The Trust Deed was then amended in October 2012. The charity is governed under the Trust Deed.

It aims to work in removing short term difficulties and is committed to work to its long term and sustainable goals in South Asia, The Middle East, Africa, UK, Europe and North America. 

The core objectives of Minhaj Welfare Foundation can be summarised into the following: 

- a. The relief of poverty, sickness, distress and suffering of any persons who are in need irrespective of their nationality, race, ethnic origin and religious beliefs.

## VOLUNTEERS 

Volunteers are an important resource in both faith and community work.  Volunteers are involved in most of our community activities, and we have volunteers regularly giving their time.  All our trustees also give their time freely. We encourage all members of our organisation to be involved in voluntary activities and to share their skills with others. 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

## CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES 

Over the past year MWF has been extensively working to improve its administrative procedures and ensure a more efficient and effective aid/project delivery procedure. 

Over the year, we have worked on development of a new Fundraising and Donor Relationship Department. Our focus has been to improve our digital presence through a revamped website and more holistic and consistent Digital Marketing. 

Our media campaign was run through social media, google advertising, various private TV channels and community radio stations across the UK to help promote all our campaigns including our seasonal Ramadan and Qurbani campaigns. 

## CAMPAIGN OF PROJECTS DURING THE YEAR: 

## WATER FOR ALL 

As part of its vision to provide clean and safe drinking water to the poor and needy in the third world, Minhaj Welfare Foundation has built more than 1430 clean water facilities during the year in rural and marginalised areas of the world reaching out to the poorest communities and ensuring people in those regions have long term access to clean drinking water. 

In addition to MWF’s small and medium sized water projects, MWF is enhancing its way of ensuring more and more people have easy access to clean drinking water. Through the solar water project, high numbers of community members in poor areas will be able to benefit from simply opening the tap and filling their buckets with clean water. 

MWF believes that by providing the source to clean drinking water via a safe water supply, health risks will be reduced, and it will be easier for people to engage in more productive activities like securing an income for their families and growing food. 

## PAKISTAN PROJECTS: SUPPORTING A NUMBER OF PROJECTS IN THE YEAR 

One of the main thematic and focus areas of Minhaj Welfare Foundation’s humanitarian and development work is in Pakistan. With donors’ help, MWF delivers a continual supply of lifesaving emergency aid (which includes Zakat, Sadqah and General donations) as well as 

37 



**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED  31 MARCH 2021** 

## **_____________________________________________** 

supporting families with education, healthcare and livelihoods. The key programme sectors that Minhaj Welfare Foundation has covered over the year are: 

1. CHILD SPONSORSHIP: Minhaj Welfare Foundation is aiding orphan and needy children through its child sponsorship programme (which includes financial, educational and living support). In addition, it is also supporting a number of Orphan care homes. 

2. HELPFEED (FOOD SECURITY): providing food parcels, Iftar, hot meals during Ramadan, Rabiul-Awwal and other programmes throughout the year. 

3. EDUCATION FOR ALL: Providing scholarships to students at schools and universities. 

4. OUR FAMILIES: Rehabilitation and support for poor and needy families. 

5. EMERGENCY RELIEF: Minhaj Welfare Foundation is always responding to all major disasters and crises in Pakistan, including the Covid-19 pandemic, for which a global campaign was launched in March 2020 

6. INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT (BUILDING): Establishing schools, dispensaries, halls, mosques, vocational training centres and safe spaces of learning. 

7. HEALTHCARE: Supporting dispensaries, carrying out mobile clinics, covering the surgical costs for needy patients. 

8. The FMRI Pakistan has a team of scholars who work on research and development of both traditional and contemporary books written in Urdu, Arabic and English. The books are then used by schools, Islamic seminaries, universities, students and teachers alike all over the world. 

## MWF’S GLOBAL RESPONSE TO COVID19 

In March 2020, we launched a global response to the Covid-19 pandemic. We provided food and relief packages to regions affected by the pandemic, with a focus on Pakistan and the third world. We could see that the need for aid in those poorer regions would increase greatly as those who could no longer work due to the pandemic slipped below the poverty line. Minhaj Welfare Foundation was there to help them in these turbulent times. 

We also helped with the Covid-19 Response in the UK, taking calls from the vulnerable and those in self-isolation and fulfilling their needs. Our volunteers made shopping rounds for those who were unable to acquire essentials due to the pandemic. This effort began in March 2020 and continued into the next fiscal year (April 2020 onward). 

During the Lockdown when there was a shortage of PPE especially with GP surgeries and smaller walk-in centres, MWF sourced PPE from local schools, colleges and distributors, MWF then donated the PPE to GP surgeries and smaller walk-in centres where there was a shortage. 

## LET’S REVIVE: UK PROJECTS 

Through the Let’s Revive project, MWF has been supporting various UK based educational, youth and research initiatives over the year. The two flagship projects include the Minhaj College

Manchester (MCM) and the Fareed-e-Millat Research Institute UK (FMRI). 

We are a sponsor for Minhaj College Manchester (MCM). MCM is an accredited independent further education institution in Manchester providing access to formal college level qualifications alongside religious education. MWF has donated a member of their staff and provide facilities to MCM as well as donating towards the project. 

The FMRI UK has a team of UK and Egypt based scholars who work on research and development of both traditional and contemporary books written in Urdu, Arabic and English. The books are then used by schools, Islamic seminaries, universities, students and teachers alike all over the world. 

## HOPE FOR ROHINGYA 

With more than a million Rohingya refugees settled in the world’s largest displacement camps in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh, life for the Rohingya people is becoming difficult. The majority of these refugees, mainly women, children and the elderly are sleeping in the open air without shelter and basic essentials (such as food, water and sanitation). 

MWF is committed in supporting the ongoing emergency relief efforts in Cox’s Bazaar through mobilising its local team that is currently assessing the situation. Our focus is to provide clean drinking water, food, medical supplies, and other essentials, as well as providing shelter to the refugees. 

## BANGLADESH HELP FEED COMMUNITY KITCHEN 

MWF set up a community kitchen in Bangladesh to help feed meals to thousands of families in need. 

## QURBAANI - JUNE / AUGUST 2020 

As part of its seasonal campaigns, to provide food to the poor and needy during the festive days of Eid (Hajj), MWF, through its network of volunteers and programme teams, supports with the distribution of food to families in need. More than 250,000 people benefitted from this HelpFeed programme. 

## BAKERS CHALLENGE 

In Ramadan MWF launched an activity, Bakers Challenge. The purpose was to bake a cake and sell the cake for charity. Through this activity MWF engaged numerous volunteers during the pandemic and raised funds for our HelpFeed Project.

In addition, the project will include classes for older women to provide them training and skill sets to develop business ideas for them to become empowered.

On 4th August 2020 an explosion took place at the port in Beirut taking the lives of over 200 and injuring over 5000. Homes were demolished and livelihoods were destroyed. MWF set up a community kitchen to ensure people did not go hungry in the crisis.

M K Mahmood - Trustee 



## OPINION 

We have audited the financial statements of Minhaj-Ul-Quran Welfare Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- E give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- E have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’; and 

- E have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## BASIS FOR OPINION 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## OTHER INFORMATION 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion 



thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- E the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- E sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- E the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- E we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 



- E Enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. 

- E Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- E Reviewing internal audit reports. 

- E Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- E Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors, including “APB Ethical Standard - Provisions Available for Small Entities (Revised)”, in the circumstances set out in note 19 to the financial statements.
