Ummah Charity International managed to make it through every situation while leaving an impact that we are always there for those who need us the most. It was made possible due to the tireless efforts of our dedicated team of staff and volunteers and. of course. our generous donors. With gratitude to Allah (SWT), I say." Ummah Charity Internatlonal is a thriving, liftrchanging philanthropic organization. Our projects have matured into relief systems geared towards long-term change, and our ability to respond to disasters has grown in efficiency. We have tnade amazing progress over the years to make life better for the impoverished people. Due to economic crises that turned intense over a couple of years, we responded by increasing the beneficiaries of our food initiatives as much as possible. Pakistan is already a country fighting malnutrition. so compounding this with the economic crises, we knew we needed to relieve It at the best possible level. Without our donors. support, it wouldn't have been possible to achieve the goals. Your generosity is bringing smiles to people that live complicated. tumultuous lives, so I hope it brings you serenity knowing that you are making a much-needed change. As we present our annual report, spanning our humanitarian efforts from 1 st October 2020 to 31 st December 2021, we would like to express our gratitude for your continued involvement in ourjourney to end poverty. We aspire for our growth to continue, hoping to overcome the hurdles that will present themselves and expand geographically to other areas of the world. Mufti Abdul Wahab I Chairman ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 05 WATER PROJECT We are proud to say that with our donors, support and our team's tireless efforts, we provided clean and safe water to 72,500 people last year alone. It is an understatement that water is a fundamental need for one to survive, as this essential element sustains life and all its workings. Despite all this, it is deplorable how this resource is unavailable to a shockingly high number of 'people. particularly in impoverished and underdeveloped communities across Ihe Global South. U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L COOKED FOOD PROJECT The food insecurity is one of the major problems faced across the world in deprived communities. People in developing countries are much worse off in terms of getting support to feed themselves through difficult times, therefore reliance on aid is often the way they survive. UCI recognizes this food scarcity issue as a crucial and one that requires urgent and constant attention, oul of this recognition we developed our Cooked Meal project. Throughout the year our team provides freshly cooked meals in severely neglected neighbourhoods, including on special occasions like Eid al Fitr. Eid al Adha, Muharram and Rabi al Awal. J? ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L BUILD A MASJID REBUILDING MASJID FOR IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES One of the most successful projects of Ummah Charity is our "Build a Masjid" project, which connects people around the world and helps rebuild masjids for impoverished Muslim communities deprived of this primary sacred space across rural Pakistan. Last year, UCI rebuilt 9 mosques in different areas, giving 2,700 people a place to offer their Salah in congregation or Jammat, something they would otherwise not have had access to. (Note: 06 masjids are still under construction.) This project, in particular, is vital according to the vision of our Chairman, Mufti Abdul Wahab. He believes that building masjid not only works as Sadaqah e Jariyah but also revives Islam in areas where people often let go of the teachings of the faith because of their challenging lives. ANNUAL REPORT 2020- 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L 11 SUPPORT A MAKTAB Ummah Charity's Maktab Project is a manifestation of the vision of our Chairman Mufti Abdul Wahab, who believes that holistic education is central to creating a stronger nation, both in terms of faith and in developing long-term solutions to poverty. In our Maktabs, students are provided with quality Islamic education in Qur'an, Hadith, and Tajweed with the guidance of well-reputed Qaris and teachers. Alongside these Islamic subjects, students are also taught maths, English, Urdu, and other general subjects that help them grasp more comprehensive educational material in the future. U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L 13 EYECARE PROJECT li PROVIDING FREE EYECARE TO DEPRIVED PATIENTS We at Ummah Charity International feel strongly about the disparity in healthcare. Because of that. we have been worklng for the past decade to provide free holistic eye care in remote and disenfranchised communities. Last year, we helped over 6,996 people by getting them free consultations. prescriptions, medication, eyeglasses. and surgery as advised by experienced doctors. In the previous year, we organized 43 eye camps in areas including Surjani Town, Baldia Town. Orangi. Mangopir, and Korangi, among others, helping over 7.046 get access to free eye care. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L RAMADAN PROJECT HELPING THE UMMAH IN RAMADAN Muslims worldwide rejoice during Ramadan as it is a time to be closer to the Almighty and his countless blessings. At the same time, there are those who are deprived of the joys of this blissful month because of financial constraints. It can be deeply disheartening for them not to be able to afford basic meals to keep their fast at dawn and open at dusk. So, it is where UCI extends a hand of support. Our Ramadan project is a multifaceied one. We help connect the Ummah by collecting the Zakat, Sadaqah, Fidya, Kaffarah, Fitarana, and general donations from those who can give it to provide relief for those who need it. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 16 RAMADAN PROJECT TO SERVE MUSLIM COMMUNITY Our Ramadan project is well-rounded in that it caters to every aspect of the holy month. We provide monthly food packs so families can be self-sufficient for the entire month, and each food pack includes essentials like oil, flour, sugar, rice, lentils, tea leaves, salt, juice concentrates. powdered milk, and dates, among other things. In addition, we also provide fulfilling iftar meals and water bottles daily to people who may be far from home or cannot afford it. OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS Last year, we helped 37,753 individuals with 2,770 monthly food packs. Most of these people were either unemployed or barely getting by. We also distributed iftar meals and water bottles to help people break their fast. We received Fidya and Fitrana donations which helped feed 6,262 number of people. Moreover, UCI distributed 101 gift packs to spread smiles on Eid. All this work is made possible with the continued support of our donors, for which we are grateful. 37,753 BENEFICIARIES FROM FOOD PACKS.

This historic ritual not only cleanses ones spirit and intentions but also helps people in the Urnmah to afford luxuries like having rneat regularly in their meals. The problem that UCI identified was that Muslims in developed countries could not consistently distribute their Qurbani meat to people in need as prescribed by Allah (SWT) because of inadequate distribution netwoiks or simply because the demand is not as high as in poorer parts of the world. In developing countries. thousands of impoverished families go without meat, even on Eid al Adha. Ummah Charity International decided to bridge this gap. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L .1 ROZGAR PROJECT ofJ(¥r TRANSFORMING LIVES WITH EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES In Pakistan, the unemployment rate is an astounding figure of 4.45%, which means a large segment of the population lives without a constant source of Income. UCI finds this extremely problematic. Our Rozgar project provides a long-term solution to unemployment and poverty by empowering disadvantaged people with the resources they require to access thriving livelihoods. By providing business opportunities, auto rickshaws, and delivery motorbikes, we build sustainable livelihoods for impoverished families. RICKSHAWS DISTRIBUTION Auto rickshaws are the primary focus of our Rozgar project because the demand for public transportation is increasing, making the provision of vehicles a more lucrative occupation. They also improve the quality of life for their owners. as it improves their social (and general) mobility. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L 21 EMPOWERING WOMEN EMPOWERING WOMEN FOR A STRONG FUTURE! In the developing world, the economic potential of women remains untapped mainly due to several societal and familial factors. Women are still seen as a means of childbearing or financial liability, leaving them with minimal access to education and employment opportunities. Our response lies in our women empowerment initiative. through which we distribute sewing machines among women from underprivileged communities so that they can work towards supporting themselves and their families. ANNUAL REPORT 2020- 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L WHEELCHAIR DISTRIBUTION .1 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 15°& of the world's population lives with some form of disability, of whom 2-4°/0 experience significant difficulties in functioning. As Mufti Abdul Wahab has always dreamed of empowering the community, by all means, this project was something close to his heart as it was about strengthening disabled persons. k• ry,7 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L SADAQAH IN THE PATH OF ALLAH 11 The act of giving any donation, irrespective of the amount, to please one's creator and keep oneself from hardships is called Sadaqah. It is unlike other Islamic charities as it is not obligatory but still holds greai significance and rewards. Ummah Charity International makes it easier for their donors to give Sadaqah in whatever form they wish to share, particularly through the sacrifice of animals and urgent aid as it helps feed and support people in need. 146 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 **U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L** 27 SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES In Islam. it is our core duty to look after each other and support everyone whether a Muslim or a Non-muslim. Helping others in their difficult times is the vision of our Chairman Mufti Abdul Wahab through projects that are to provide opportunities and facilities to deprived people without any discrimination. The objective behind this project was to reduce hunger and to improve nutrition for as many people as possible, specifically in the harsh winter season. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 - 21 U M M A H C H A R I T Y I N T E R N AT I O N A L WINTER SURVIVAL PROJECT PROVIDING WINTER SURVIVAL KITS Climate change entails harshei weather across the world. In Pakistan, however. it affects different areas at the Worst. Discussions of climate justice explain how the outcomes of changing weather are experienced differently by different social and economic groups. It is unfortunate that many communities across Pakistan are at the bottom tread of the global social and economic ladder.
