Humanitarian and Emergency Project

A. Responding emergencies

HCI has responded to all major emergencies in Bangladesh and Turkey such as Earthquakes, floods, and winter. Our community partners and volunteers rushed to the victims with lifesaving food and nonfood items in Cox's Bazar, Comilla, Rangpur, Satkhira, Bogura, Noakhali, and Sylhet.

B. Rohingya refugees response

HCI began its operation in the Rohingya camp immediately after the influx started back in 2017 in partnership with community and institutional donors. HCI continues to support these unfortunate communities with health, education, food, nonfood items, and shelter interventions.

Livelihood and employment creation:

This program aims to uplift the marginalised and poor from misery by providing direct monetary assistance, guidance for them towards being self-reliant and earning their own income. HCI has been implementing livestock and sewing machines in Jhenidah, Jessor, Sylhet, Magura, Rangpur and Noakhali districts among the unemployed people for employment and for increasing the family earnings. Many unemployed youth became self-sustaining and widow families directly increased their family income. Now, they can send their children to school and enjoy a better, healthier life.

Education programs:

This program targets wide groups of talented students: street children, orphans, Hifzul Quran learners and the construction of academic buildings and Research Centre in Amin Bazar. HCI supports stipend and integrated help ( such as books, stationery and clothes ), to continue the education for orphan students and encourages value-based education.

Hifzul Quran Madrasha, Dhaka :

HCI established Darul Quran Madrasha in Amin Bazar, Dhaka to spread out the Quranic education. Many of our able students have completed the memorisation of the Quran and many are continuing their education.

Water, Sanitation, Health and Hygiene Programs:

HCI has been assisting mothers in Bangladesh by providing quality maternity health services in the pregnancy, delivery and the post delivery period. HCI is also continuing to assist blind girls and the installation of water projects in different areas, over the years.

Religious dues - Ramadan and Qurbani project:

HCI has been providing Ramadan food for Iftar and Suhoor. As well as, providing Qurbani meat during Eid ul Azha for the most needy people in Bangladesh.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee) DIRECTORS'/TRUSTEES' REPORT For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

Risk Management:

The Trustees recognise the major risks that the charity company faces each financial year when preparing and updating the strategic plan and as such, has development systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that they have on the organisation in the future. The trustee reviews the risk matrix regularly at their meetings. The trustees are satisfied that a system is in place, or arrangement is in hand, to manage the risks that have been identified.

Financial review:

Reserves policy

The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their policy is to hold enough funds to meet a three months operating cost. In calculating the charity reserves, the trustees have deducted from the total of unrestricted funds of the charity, the tangible fixed assets and designated fund. As such there is not enough reserve fund and trustees are looking into this so that the charity runs which is a going concern.

Principal funding source

Our charity's main source of income is collecting donations from regular donors, special donors, projects based donors, charity events, online campaigns, mosque collection during Ramadan, occasional collection during religious festivals, Eid gifts, Zakat etc. People donate through standing orders or direct transfers to the charity’s bank account.

Plan for future periods :

HCI also intends to raise a good amount of funds to establish residential orphan centres in Bangladesh to provide orphan children accommodation, food, proper education and skills training. Through this project, those children will be productive citizens of the country. We have already started a pilot project for this, this year. We also intend on expanding our livelihood project to more districts and funding the children’s health sector.

Financial position:

The Statements of Financial Activities shows a net surplus of £5,339 ( £41,715-2024) with net funds

of £61,217 (£55,878-2024) as of 31 March 2025.

Directors / Trustees' Responsibilities:

The trustees (who are also directors of Human Care Initiative for the purposes of company law) 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).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

I have examined the accounts and statements on pages 8 to 12 which have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies set out on page 10.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

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:

  1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
