## “ FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR 

It’s easy to sit back and worry about the uncertainty in our global future. It’s much harder to get up and take action. But that’s what our supporters have done – this year more than ever before. 


In this report, our team tells the stories of some of those people whose lives you’ve changed. On deployments, Salam Charity teams spend time in refugee camps, health centres and remote villages. They meet people in desperate need and facilitate appeals to help them. 

For instance, on a deployment trip to Egypt, our volunteers met Khetam. She’d been waiting for urgent surgery, where doctors had told her that an operation was required to save her with diabetes, and a sister in a wheelchair. She had arrived in Egypt with no way of covering the costs of this expensive surgery. 

an appeal that touched hearts. It raised £8,000 in less than 48 hours! Khetam was able to have the surgery at an excellent health centre in Egypt, and she can look forward to a brighter future. 

insight which keeps us connected to the causes that truly matter. 

Our up-close-and-personal approach has led us to develop new initiatives to provide mental health care, vocational training, and small-scale income opportunities. When you support our work, you

## FUNDRAISING TOTAL: **£253,000** 

## **THE VOCAL ARTS FESTIVAL** 

In December 2023, Salam Charity sponsored the Vocal Arts Festival – a seven-city music tour with a fantastic nasheed line-up including Safe Adam, Ilyas Mao and Labbayk.  Thanks to very generous audiences, we collected over £253,000 for urgent aid to deliver to Gaza. 

“ **The Vocal Arts Festivals were enjoyed by almost 3,500 nationwide! From Glasgow to London, attendees enjoyed an amazing show with their families and friends. The show had designated seating for children, which allowed them to get involved, sing-along and even go on stage and perform with the artists. This tour really brought about unity within the community… we'll be back again soon for sure!**

On the 10th of September 2023, Storm Daniel swept across the Mediterranean . The storm killed more than 4,300 people and devastated the infrastructure, wrecking homes, bridges, roads, and electricity grids. Our team was quick to respond, arriving to deliver essential medical supplies.

## WATER 

According to the World Health Organisation, **1.4 million people** die every year because of inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene. 

1.7 billion people drink water that’s contaminated with faeces, which is particularly dangerous for children. We are committed to extending the network of water services and we build wells for remote communities every year. A well – sometimes equipped with a solar-powered pump – can serve at least 500 people and last for up to 20 years. 

IN  2023-24 WE DELIVERED LIFE SAVING WATER WELLS IN:

## CASE STUDY: WELLS IN BANGLADESH 


partners in Bangladesh helped us to build 58 wells. Each well is built in a rural area, such as Sylhet, Barisal, Khulna, or Sunamganj. 

We choose a location which is easy for people to access, and this has an extra benefit, because people (usually women or children) no longer need to make a long journey for water every day; instead, they can return to education or work.  The wells are 70-100 foot deep and fitted with mechanical or solar-powered pumps.

In Lebanon, our new breast screening programme has provided a valuable service to 262 people this year.

## CASE STUDY: RESTORING KHETAM’S MOBILITY 

When we met Khetam in Egypt, we were impressed by her strength and resilience. She had escaped Gaza with her family, despite a leg deformity which threatened to paralyse her. Khetam’s parents have health conditions and her sister is in a wheelchair. They couldn’t on social media and raised the funds that Khetam needed in two days. She’s now had the operation and recovered well. 


CASE STUDY: MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT IN JORDAN 

## In 2024, we funded a new psychosocial support group based in a health centre in Jordan.

## FOOD

They’re packed with essentials like rice, tea, sugar and lentils, designed to last a insecurity. On deployments, our teams serve hot meals and during Ramadan we organise big, celebratory iftars, enabling people to unite and enjoy a feast with friends and family. Donors are invited to sponsor an iftar and receive their own video of the occasion.

At Salam Charity, we ensured that the true spirit of Qurbani was upheld, not just 

Our Ethical Qurbani initiative focused on animal welfare, sourcing healthy livestock raised in humane conditions, and ensuring that the distribution of meat reached those most in need. From rural villages to refugee camps, we delivered fresh, high-quality meat so the poorest could share in the joy of Eid with dignity. 

By prioritising compassion at every stage, Salam Charity’s Ethical Qurbani has set a new standard, honouring the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) with sincerity, care, and justice.

## SHELTER 

HOMELESSNESS ISN’T SELECTIVE: IN A NATURAL DISASTER OR A CONFLICT, FAMILIES JUST LIKE YOURS CAN BE SUDDENLY, FORCIBLY EVACUATED. 

They need emergency shelter and, later, assistance in rebuilding their communities. We’re committed to delivering both. Our global network enables us to respond to emergencies like the recent earthquakes in Morocco. In other places, we’re working to renovate and rebuild homes for people who are ready for a new start. 

## CASE STUDY: SHELTERING EVACUEES AFTER THE MOROCCAN EARTHQUAKES 

On September 8, 2023, Morocco was struck by a seismic earthquake of 6.8 magnitude, resulting in widespread devastation. It killed more than 2,900 people and at least 380,000 people were made homeless. As part of our response, we distributed tents, blankets and bedding to people who had been forced to evacuate their homes.

## CHILDREN 

**CHILDREN DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TTO FLOURISH.** 

As part of our mission to end poverty, we’re establishing and rehabilitating schools so that more children can receive a free education. In 2024, Tent of Dreams – our school under canvas in a Lebanese refugee camp – has celebrated the end of a second successful year.  Across 5 tents, average scores in Arabic (16/20), English (15/20) and Maths (16/20) showed that our 150 pupils have made amazing progress. They’ll be well prepared to return to traditional school when the time is right.

## CASE STUDY: IMPACT VOCATIONAL TRAINING 

Sylhet is a densely populated city in Bangladesh, with several slums and thousands of people living under the poverty line. About **33% of them are illiterate** - many more than the national average. With help from our local partners, we have developed Dream Schools. 

providing free health services and medicine. This means that the children are secure, healthy, and able to attend without incurring costs to their families. 

In Bangladesh, **46% of children** drop out of secondary school, and those who do attend aren’t achieving basic competencies – only **25% of graduates** were competent in literacy and numeracy, according to a recent report from UNICEF. 

This means that many young people have poor prospects in the job market. Our new project – the Impact Vocational Centre –is delivering vocational courses, starting with Mobile Repairs and Graphic Design. We aim to equip students with practical skills and

## LIVELIHOODS 

Supporting independent initiatives gives people the local economy, and support themselves without ongoing aid. 

It’s a long-term approach that gives people back their sense of help business owners in deprived areas. Our teams spend time with each person, assessing their current situation and needs. In many cases, like painting the banana cart, we also provide hands-on help!

## CASE STUDY: BANANA PANCAKES 

In Uganda, 60-year-old Zaitun has a large family of eight children and four pancake business from her home in the village of Busika. Every morning she toppings. Located close to a primary school, Zaitun found no shortage of loyal customers! Salam Charity funded a new pancake cart for Zaitun, brightly painted and equipped with griddles, utensils, ingredients and serving containers.  We know that Zaitun will be serving with a smile for years to come.
