**ANNUAL REPORT 2025 – 2026** 

Supporting communities in Leeds, United Kingdom, and rural Afghanistan through food aid, reforestation and environmental education 

Year ended 31 March 2026 



## **A Message from Our Chairman** 

I am glad to submit the International Committee for Rehabilitation Aid to Afghanistan (ICRAA)’s annual report for 2025–2026 to the Charity Commission on behalf of our trustees. 

During this reporting period, our focus, as usual, remained on our local community in Leeds, as limited donations meant we had to concentrate our efforts closer to home to support our needy and asylum-seeker/low-income beneficiaries. 

We were able to strengthen our partnership with the Neighbourly and Olio Food teams, as well as with other community organisations such as NCVO and the Refugee Council. 

Thanks to local and private in-kind donations in the form of food, we were able to provide high-quality food to beneficiaries in Leeds. 

Overseas, i.e. in Afghanistan, our work continued on agricultural projects, specifically the planting of fruit and forest trees. This is intended to support reforestation, reduce natural disasters, and relieve heat stress in rural areas. We also focused on environmental education, with particular emphasis on awareness of heat stress, flooding, and strong winds. Our aim was to use reforestation to help protect farmers in rural areas. 

Furthermore, our trustees remained committed to our mission, even with the decrease in donations caused by unforeseen changes, particularly those affecting overseas activities, i.e. Afghanistan. 

We also made sure to stay in regular contact with our local partners, such as food stores, who are all dedicated to making Leeds a better place. 

We also held telephonic and virtual meetings with board members and trustees, as well as with our partners, and participated in Charity Commission webinars. 

This year, ICRAA demonstrated its commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of beneficiaries both in the UK and Afghanistan.
