CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Assalamu Alaykum (may blessings andpeace be upon you).

GHRF has completed nine years of helping the poor and needy in third world countries with the generous donations of our supporters. During the year under review with your generous record donations of £ 302,749 we were able to implement projects on your behalf. The main beneficiaries are people in Pakistan. After the floods last year GHRF expanded its charitable activities on the ground. We were able to build small houses for widows and those affected by floods in the summer of 2022. Because of food inflation and economic conditions currently prevailing in Pakistan, GHRF has been providing daily cooked meals and other relief items.

GHRF’s mission has never been more important and depends on the fantastic efforts of our supporters. There is a desperate need for ongoing humanitarian support for those living in very tough economic conditions. Supporting us in our work uplifts people out of poverty by providing them with their basic needs.

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude not only to the donors and supporters but also to the many volunteers in Pakistan. Their support is crucial in implementing our relief work. The collaboration we have with other reputable organisations enable us to use the funds for maximum results.

At this point I would like to specifically mention Swan (UK Registered Charity) and Saiqa Ali and her team for collaborating with many of the projects in Pakistan.

With full confidence of the generosity of our supporters we plan to continue with this work in the foreseeable future InshahAllah.

The full impact ofour relief and rehabilitation work is included in the detailed report for your perusal.

We raised a record amount of £ 302,749 in funds for our various project and most of these funds were spent on relief and rehabilitation projects mainly in Pakistan as per the wishes of our donors. We spent £ 302,882 on charitable relief projects. The total administration cost which includes bank charges and promotion came to £ 18,375 for the year.

This year we have three new Trustees namely Ahsan Sattar, Afsha Mohamed and Mahboob Ali Khan. The Trustees who will be retiring after completion of their term in January 2024 will be Hanif Ismail, Ashtaq Arain and myself. All of us will continue to work as volunteers on behalfof[GHRF.] I would like to thank my team for all the support and efforts over the last 9 year in establishing GHRF as a reputable charity in the local community.

Once again I sincerely ask you to continue with your generosity and support us with your donations in the future.

Salaam and KindAha Tahir Begg — Chairman G.H.R.F.
