## **1. Mission Statement**
## **2. Annual Review**
STATEMENT
I would first like to start off by congratulating and thanking everyone who has been involved in the success of SOS Education Organization’s (SOS) development this last year. I am deeply proud to declare this report to be our fifth official Annual Report covering the period 2020 – 2021.
Since last year staff, committee members, volunteers and partners have been extremely busy to ensure the sustainability and growth of SOS

during these difficult economic times. I pray that the hardship that many people are facing today, here in the UK and around the world, be eased. I know that many people are suffering due to the global economic fall, natural disasters, extremism, and social injustice. Our prayers and thoughts are with them all.
The last year has not been very shining for SOS like previous four years. We have managed to survive from all the crises we have faced this year. No project has been successful although we tried some good projects. It is partly because of the National and/or the global one. We will be standing regardless of crises continuity and we all develop our community slowly but surely.
Starting with very little donations from the community and the Trustees, we were able to continue working for the community and deliver specialist services.
We do not want to vanish or to stop here. We wish to continue developing SOS by providing necessary and demanded services. We wish to be a ‘flagship’ organization for the Somalis and other African communities in the West Midlands and then potentially in the UK. Many people and mainstream organization’s believe we already are or have the potential to be so. This excites me very much and humbles me greatly as I know the struggles we faced from inception.
On behalf of SOS, and the Beneficiaries that participated in all of the project initiatives we would like to give a special thank you to the following organizations not only for their financial support but also for their advice, guidance and belief in our organization.
This year we will introduce a new Islamic school (Aveccinna) for both boys and girls. Furthermore we have rearranged the use of the venues for different beneficiaries as we moved the Koranic school to Block G where they can concentrate their work without interruption.
Finally, as the Chairman of SOS I wish to express my appreciation and sincere thanks to everyone who has helped and supported our organization, these include, the Management Committee, volunteers, community members, community leaders, councilors, members of the press and public & private sector organizations.
In particular I would like to thank those individuals who have provided personal donations and would encourage them to continue in order for us to maintain services to the children who attend our Centre.
## **THANKYOU VERY MUCH EVERYONE!**
