## **Panah Children Charity** 

## Trustee Annual Report 

Accounting period for  5[th] April 2022  to  4[th] April 2023 

## **Charitable Activities and Achievements** 

## **Education programs** 

Over the years, with the support of the local ministries of education and social services in deprived areas, an effective routine for our rural education programs has been established. 

This year’s education program was a pilot for upskilling 600 unskilled teachers and facilitators, particularly focused on the following two groups: 

- Teacher training for secondary school-aged children: to improve the quality of teaching in sciences and literature. 

- Family centre facilitators and teen mentors: workshops in creative skills training, apprenticeship and entrepreneurship workshops for career development. 

Subjects of “learning disability”, “safeguarding” and “abuse prevention” were included in all the above programs. 

The lessons were implemented in groups of between 12 to 25 people, with a mixture of “inperson” workshops and “online” facilitation and remote supervision. 

The first pilot was launched in the following nomadic and deprived rural areas: 

- Kohgilouyeh & Boyer Ahmed (miani) Shahr Dash & Deh Dasht; 

- � Outskirts of Tehran province; 

- Pishva city; 

- Varamin city (Javad Abad); 

- Pakdasht (near Varamin) 

- Eslamshahr 

- Ray city; 

- Robat Karim 

- Roomeshkan (Lorestan); 

- Khoi city; 

- Rasak City (Sistan &  Balouchestan) 

On completion, this program is to be rolled out in phases to other regions over the next five years. 



## Other related programs in the area: 

**Khoi city therapy workshop:** Khoi city was an earthquake affected area, where play, music and art therapy workshop were organised for children and families that had lost their homes and were living in Chamran sports centre or sheltered in other tent facilities. The workshops were implemented for 190 families in three camps. 

**Kermanshah Centre therapy workshop:** Cooperation with Ofogh Roshan local NGO at the Ghalicheh Village continues to provide play therapy to children affected by loss and trauma following earthquakes and flooding in previous 

**Baloochestan province:** Request was made to provide an additional three days’ workshop for a further 400 of the teachers within Rasak and Pishin area.  The implementation of this request was successfully undertaken at the end of this financial year. 

## **Donations of school bags, books, stationaries and shoes** 

- While implementing the above education program, requests were made by the local libraries in Khoi city area for updating their facilities and their books. Funding for facilities was not available, but new books were provided. The list of needs for the local mothers and children were extensive including creation of mobile workshops and libraries for the very rural areas. These would need to be considered for the future. 

- Supply and distribution of over 200 bags and backpacks, including books and stationaries were donated to deprived schools in Varamin city, as well as to Kouhdasht schools in Lorestan province, namely: Bahonar’ Baghcheban; Komeil: Keshvari: payam Moalem: Khadigeh Kobra; Gh D Marefat; Meisam Tamar; Somayeh 2; 12 Farvardin; Merhregan 

- 50 pairs of shoes and items for personal sanitation were purchased and donated to a residential girls school in the Rasak and Pishin area. 



## **Spinal Muscular Atrophy Society** 

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare, genetically inherited neuromuscular condition that affects muscular movements and mobility in children from a very young age. It has four types, each showing different symptoms at different ages. 

Following last year’s contact by four families whose children were members of the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Society, with an urgent request for fundraising and procurement support of essential medication for their children. This was an enormous challenge for our small charity, not only in the fundraising efforts for an extremely expensive medications for permanent treatment such as ZolGen or Zolgensma gene therapy of between one to two million Pounds per child.  The cheaper alternatives that would delay the progress of the illness with monthly syrup medication, such as Evrysdi Risdiplam costs only tens of thousands of Pounds.   Yet, a further challenge was the a very short deadline for having to raise the funds and provide the medication, before the children reach the age of two, after which time the medication and treatment were deemed not to be as effective. 

Nevertheless, one of our Trustees agreed to pursue these requests and with the help of several volunteers and another NGO named Elimo, they worked relentlessly to raise funds to at least provide one round of Risdiplam medication before the age of “two” deadlines. 

The challenge did not end there, as having raised just enough funds for one round of medication, there was difficulty in procurement from suppliers of the medicines.  Ultimately our colleagues were successful in procuring the medicines. 

Although this project was extremely challenging and seemingly impossible, the positive outcome was enormous, as by the time the first round of medications reached the children, the SMA Society managed to secure funding from the government for the subsequent rounds. Our trustee and volunteers’ efforts were therefore invaluable as they ensured the children had been able to start their treatments prior to their two-year age deadline. 

A request was made by a parent of another child affected by SMA for a wheelchair, which was successfully fundraised and supplied. 

## **Cochlear implant** 

In 2020 a parent of a young Afghani child of 6 years of age with a hearing loss, had asked for support to fundraise for a Cochlear implant operation to correct his hearing.  Our charity had organised a variety of online fundraisers. Two trustees and several volunteers also joined the London Landmark Half Marathon in 2021 and were ultimately able to raise sufficient funds of over two thousand Pounds for this surgery. The timing for the fundraising was very important as there was a deadline for the operation to be undertaken before the child’s seventh birthday. However, once we started to register the child with the hospital to progress with the planned surgery, it transpired that the family and therefore the child were undocumented immigrants.  Their immigrations status resulted in the hospital not being able to perform the surgery. Nevertheless, our colleagues on the ground have been pursuing the legal process to regularise the family’s immigration status. 



## **Orphanage beds** 

A Roomeshgan (Chaghabol) orphanage of twenty-seven infants and children of up to four years of age had made a formal request to support a conversion of their basement into a play area.  So, in cooperation with the management we commissioned an architect and a structural engineer to draw up plans for the conversion as well as cost schedule to make the space suitable and safe.  Unfortunately, we were not able to fundraise for this project this year but have sufficient information to be considering it for future years. 

We were however able to fundraise to upgrade fourteen cots that were of poor quality and unsafe.  In the coming year, we would be working in cooperation with the local NGO (Zendegieh Delneshin), to fundraise and purchase new cots for the children up to two year of age. 

## **Governance and Policy reviews** 

This year, with the support of the Charity Commission, the trustees have started looking in to improving our policy reviews and compliances, as well as developing a continuous improvement plan for our governance. 

## **OFAC license** 

Following our initial application in 2019 and four years of communications with the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, our charity has been granted an OFAC license to facilitate fundraising for our charitable work from within US. 

## **Legacies donations and Investment Revenues** 

Following a large legacy donation in 2019, decision was made to invest this fund appropriately.  However, during Covid years of 2020 and 2021 despite numerous efforts to invest this fund in a long-term property project, no appropriate investment was found. 

This year, a commercial building with tenancy of “C&J Clark international limited” was identified as having a long term and higher than reasonable return.  Despite the need to borrow two hundred thousand Pounds, a decision was made to purchase this property following a commissioned report from a reputable specialist commercial advisor. 

This investment provides a stable long-term revenue stream for future implementation of the education framework and programs that have been established to date. 

Also, this year, a philanthropist donation for the sum of forty-five thousand Pounds has been received in respect of and restricted to “child sponsorship” programs.  A long-term planning for the best use of this fund will be drawn up in cooperation and with supervision of the donor.
