## **Achievements and Performance**
During the reporting period 2024/25, Mankind Welfare Trust continued to deliver vital humanitarian and development support to some of the most vulnerable communities across Pakistan. The Trust’s work remained firmly focused on individuals and families living below the poverty line, including the poor, destitute, needy, orphans, widows and internally displaced persons. Through targeted programmes in Shelter, Food, Water, Health and Education, the Trust achieved meaningful outcomes that addressed both immediate needs and longer-term community resilience.
Shelter - in response to ongoing poverty, displacement and the effects of natural disasters, the Trust completed and sustained a range of shelter-related initiatives during the year. These included the construction, rehabilitation and provision of basic housing for homeless and displaced families, with particular focus on widows and female-headed households. In addition, the Trust continued to provide safe and affordable accommodation for students from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds who attend schools, colleges and other educational institutions across a number of locations in Pakistan. By offering secure shelter close to places of study, the Trust enabled vulnerable students to pursue education in a stable and supportive environment, helping to remove barriers created by poverty and homelessness.
Food - Food insecurity remained a significant challenge for many families during the year. The Trust continued to provide regular food rations at its centre in Rawalpindi, alongside distributions across multiple other locations, ensuring sustained support for families facing chronic poverty. A key achievement was the ongoing operation of the Trust’s daily food kitchen, which provides meals three times a day, year-round, to the poor, destitute, elderly, widows and displaced persons. These food programmes played a critical role in alleviating hunger, improving basic nutrition and supporting the dignity and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals and households.
Water - Access to clean and safe drinking water remained a priority, particularly in remote and disaster-affected areas. During the year, the Trust continued to implement its Water for the World programme across rural Pakistan, focusing on regions where clean drinking water is scarce and where families have been displaced due to natural disasters. Projects included the installation and rehabilitation of hand pumps and community water systems, significantly reducing the burden on women and children, improving hygiene and sanitation, and lowering the incidence of water-borne diseases in vulnerable communities.
Health - The Trust’s health interventions focused on improving access to essential medical care for those unable to afford treatment. Support was provided for basic healthcare services, medical assistance for chronic and acute illnesses, and access to essential medicines. Particular attention was given to widows, orphans and displaced persons, ensuring that financial hardship did not prevent access to necessary medical care and treatment.
Education - Education remained central to the Trust’s long-term strategy to break cycles of poverty. In addition to supporting individual students through assistance with school fees, uniforms and learning materials, the Trust continued to contribute towards the construction and ongoing maintenance of a large number of schools and educational institutions across many cities and rural areas of Pakistan. These investments expanded access to education for children from extremely poor households, particularly orphans and marginalised communities, and helped improve the quality and sustainability of educational provision in underserved areas.
Overall Impact - Through its integrated approach across Shelter, Food, Water, Health and Education, Mankind Welfare Trust strengthened its support for marginalised and vulnerable populations across Pakistan. The Trust’s targeted and needs-based interventions ensured that resources reached those most in need, delivering immediate relief while also contributing to longer-term improvements in living conditions, dignity and opportunity. The Trustees are confident that the work carried out during 2024/25 has had a positive and lasting impact on the lives of thousands of individuals and families.

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these Financial Statements the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees on the unaudited Financial Statements of Mankind Welfare Trust.**
I report on the accounts of Mankind Welfare Trust for the period ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 3 to 16.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act), as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006 does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the Act, as amended; to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
- (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Mankind Welfare Trust**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period and the preceding period.
## **1.1. Basis of Accounting**
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' (SORP FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **1.2. Incoming Resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
## **1.3. Resources Expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **1.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% Reducing Balance
