## **THE ABASEEN FOUNDATION U.K.** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Achievement and performance** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The Foundation (AF), in partnership with the Abaseen Foundation Pakistan (AFP), pursued its charitable objectives in 2023/24 by way of the following strands of activity: 

## **Health** 

The Baghbanan Health Centre adjacent to the Foundation's Noor Model School, continues to offer services including providing health education to the pupils at Noor Model School and their families. 

Land has been purchased to build a new community hospital to replace the existing health centre which is no longer fit for purpose. The new hospital will provide a wider range of outpatient services and much needed inpatient services. Enabling work has commenced. 

## **Well-being of Women 'WoW'** 

The aim of the project is to support the improvement of the physical, mental, educational and social health and wellbeing of women and girls in Peshawar. The project has two elements: Menstrual Hygiene Management Project - Menstrual hygiene is a major issue for both women and adolescent girls in Pakistan. They have very little access to sanitary products, clean water and hygiene facilities which has a great impact on their female health status. On average girls miss 4-5 days of school a month when they are on their periods according to IRSP (2013). Great distress, shame and embarrassment is experienced by the girls when they are unable to obtain adequate sanitary products. The project will involve providing menstrual hygiene training, to both the teachers and girls in the Abaseen schools and then supply them with reusable sanitary towels. The second phase of the project will be to visit homes of local women and deliver individual training to both mothers and adolescent girls and then give them a sanitary hygiene pack. 

Mother and Child Health Project - Expand the current medical health centre services specifically for mothers and children, this will include the following services: 

Recruit and maintain the presence of a female gynaecologist within the Abaseen Health Centre who would provide medical/surgical care to the local women; 

Employ Lady Health Visitors to support the delivery and promotion of women's health projects; 

Develop a maternity suite to support maternity care for women which will include pre and postnatal care, labour and childbirth for all women who attend the health centre. 

Evaluation of the projects will be carried out in partnership with academic institutions in UK and Pakistan

## **THE ABASEEN FOUNDATION U.K.** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Education** 

## _**Schools**_ 

The Noor Model School on the brick kilns in Peshawar continues to develop and has gone from strength to strength resulting in a need to expand due to demand. Land has been purchased to build a new school that will provide education to 1500 children. Enabling works have commenced. 

Further grant applications and fund-raising initiatives continue to provide much needed funds for the new school which will replace the existing school which is no longer fit for purpose. 

The two funding initiatives commenced in autumn of 2015 have continued to grow and develop: 

Feed a Child, finding sponsors to donate regularly through standing order to provide one meal a day for the school children who work on the brick kiln at Noor Model School; 

Sponsor a Child, finding sponsors to donate regularly through standing order to provide education to children who are too poor to attend school. 

Both initiatives have proved very successful and as a consequence the schools are thriving. A strategy has been developed for MGM and BGM schools, which will achieve self-sustainability. 

## _**Degree College**_ 

Following successful A level results from many of the girls at MGM school, requests were received from parents and female students for the Foundation to develop a degree college to enable the girls to continue their education locally. No such facility existed in the area. During 2023/2024 Abaseen Foundation have received approval from the government regulator to provide degree courses and have partnered with the Women’s University in Peshawar as the academic awarding body. The first cohort were recruited and the degree college commenced providing one degree programme. The plan is to extend the number of degrees offered withn a year. 

## _**Development of a University**_ 

A new donor has come forward and is encouraging the Foundation to develop the Degree College further and develop this as a university. The donor is investing funds with Abaseen Foundation to allow this development to progress. 

## **Vocational Training** 

The vocational scheme has been developed, is progressing well and all the milestones of the trial period have been achieved. The computer centre, stitching and embroidery and apprenticeship scheme have proved very successful, and the community interest is phenomenal. The main reasons for its success are; need in the area, its community location, local instructors and the incentive packages to the participants. 

## **Low-cost housing for the poor homeless** 

The area where the Abaseen Foundation is operating is very backward and inhabited by marginalised people who work in low paid daily wages jobs or are unemployed. Most of the families have migrated into the area due to different calamities including wars, terrorism or economic reasons. There are several families who do not own any house or land and live as a tenant in the houses of people with means. 

AF PK found a donor who has purchased a small piece of land and AF have raised the funds and constructed 9 houses. The first family have moved into the scheme. In 2023/24 funds have been raised to provide furniture and other fixtures to enhance the lives of the people living in these houses.

## **THE ABASEEN FOUNDATION U.K.** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Orphan scheme** 

## _Aim_ 

To provide support for orphans within host families working on the Brick Kilns in Baghbanan and in the Shamshatoo area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. 

## _Objectives_ 

1. Raise funds to support orphans as follows: 

   - Family support – provide basic essential food items for the whole family e.g. flour, tea, rice, sugar, cooking oil, salt, soap, washing powder, tooth paste and safety matches. 

   - Individual orphan support - provide school fees, transport costs, uniform including shoes, books, birthday gifts, Eid clothes, stationary, and daily spending money. 

   - Ad hoc expenditure to be applied for – medical fees and medicines. 

2. There may be more than one orphan per family as siblings are generally adopted together, the family will receive 1 family pack of food and each child will receive the benefits described in 1. above. 

3. Each orphan will enter the scheme at whatever age and be guaranteed support until they are 18 years old. 

4. The costs and how funds will be managed are as follows: 

   - Family food pack will be provided quarterly 

   - Individual orphan support will be provided each month 

   - Ad hoc expenditure as required will be applied for to the Abaseen Foundation who will hold funds in the name of this scheme to be used solely for the scheme costs. The Abaseen Foundation Pakistan will be responsible for determining who is worthy of such support 

   - As a general rule, cash will not be given to the families, all food items will be purchased and delivered and all fees and clothing etc will be paid for directly by the Abaseen Foundation. Where it is necessary for the family to purchase items directly the Abaseen Foundation will approve the expenditure and will require receipts before cash is paid to the family. 

## **Research** 

The Foundation continues to work in partnership with the University of Central Lancashire. 

The Abaseen Foundation is actively engaged in research with collaborators from Universities in Pakistan, UK and USA. The primary focus is on research relating to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in fields of nutrition, food security and health. 

Our guiding principle is that all the research we undertake must be in response to the needs identified by the local communities, through the Jirga. We endeavor to engage with community members throughout the research process to provide valued input into the design, management and delivery of our projects. 

Research is important as it provides: 

- data to help us evaluate the impact of our activities; 

- an opportunity for capacity building and providing training for our staff employed on the projects; 

- an opportunity to disseminate through academic publications what we have learned through our projects that may benefit others working in similar environments; 

- strengthened connections with local academic institutions and hospitals, such as Khyber Medical University and Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar. 

The results of this research have influenced how the lives of people in this area can be improved, with important implications for other areas of Pakistan and other developing countries. 

## **Benefits of school lunch on cognitive function** 

When the Abaseen Foundation introduced its school lunch programme at the Noor Model School and Mian Gul School, we had an opportunity to monitor the impact of providing a school lunch on the cognitive performance of the children attending the school. Using a simple paper-based test, we monitored the children over a 12-month period. A local government school where no meals were provided served as the control. Our study showed that providing one meal a day to malnourished primary school age children does improve cognitive function in the lowest quartile of performance.

## **THE ABASEEN FOUNDATION U.K.** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Humanitarian relief** 

During 2023/2024 the Abaseen Foundation maintained contact with the communities that were supported with projects to people who were affected by the floods in Swat valley. 

The projects provided included construction of a new cable car to reconnect several villages to the main community allowing health care, education and day to day life to resume. A new hydroelectric system providing energy to several villages in the most northern area of Swat. Provision of female hygiene packs to women and girls. 

## **Regular giving** 

Standing orders have increased, we continue to raise funds, encouraging as many people as possible to shop using 'Easy Fundraising' and fundraising through collection boxes. Pennies from Heaven continues to grow at UCLAN - staff giving pennies from salaries and payroll giving through Give as you Earn continues to grow in various other organisations. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

Fundraising events have resumed following the pandemic and a Ramadan campaign was very successful in raising funds from the South Asian community members. 

## **Annual Fundraising Treks** 

Due to COVID-19 it was not possible to arrange a trek this year, the treks will resume in 2024. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between one and two month's expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. 

This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The available unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2024 were £48,566 (2023 - £59,018). The trustees will continue to monitor free reserves carefully and will avail themselves of the support that Government has pledged, when and if required, to operate with available cash reserves and bank facilities through this period of uncertainty. The estimated closing costs of the Foundation will cover 3 months of operating costs, estimated to be £20,000. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

A 3-year Strategic Development Plan is continuously updated jointly by AF UK and AFPK and is available on request.

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

The Abaseen Foundation UK was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 12 May 2014 and on the 1 April 2016 all activities, assets and liabilities were transferred from the charity to the CIO and the old charity has closed. This has been done primarily for two reasons; to relieve the Trustees of personal liability for the charity as it grows and becomes more complex and donors increasingly require CIO status. 

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
