Help Yateem Trustees Annual Report for the year ending 30 September 2024.

Purpose and Impact:

Help Yateem was set up 11 years ago by a group of concerned individuals concerned about the increasing number of orphaned and needy children in poorer countries that have been impacted by civil conflict and natural disasters. The poor public services in these countries resulted in a lack of educational facilities and basic services for orphan and needy families. We understand that the best and the most long-term sustainable solution is improving the education of these children to short-circuit the cycle of poverty of these communities.

Our Vision is:

The advancement of education of orphans in the developing world for the public benefit.
The relief of poverty of orphans and widows in the developing world for the public benefit.

We have achieved a lot on a gradual basis and assisted many orphan and needy schools with educational facilities that will improve their educational standard. These facilities have helped many children with their employability and becoming self-reliant. For example:

Our ICT room projects for orphan schools in Mogadishu in Somalia is still running and benefited many children to become IT literate, employable and self-reliant. This year we have supported the education of 1257 orphan and needy children in different countries with their education, food, and clothing through sponsorship and this has positively impacted. their health and wellbeing. We have received a quotation to upgrade the ICT room in Shanghani School Mogadishu and hopefully it will be completed by next financial year.
We have continued to assist the building of Al-Walidayn Boys Orphanage in Kenya that is helping 160 children with their education, food, shelter, and medicine. We also support them with part of the running cost.
The canteen refurbishment project for UM-Aisha Girl’s school in Mogadishu was successful. We continue to maintain and provide free meals for students. The students are happy with the canteen; the school attendance has improved dramatically. The health of the students has also improved due to the meals provided. The canteen now generates some income for the school, and they rent it as an event venue in the evening after school. We have also provided school uniforms and stationery.
Our Ramadan Iftar program this year has helped 7250 people in poorer countries such as the Gambia, Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Yemen. We have also provided Eid gifts and clothes to 180 orphan children.
The bakery in Yemen was damaged by the flooding. Help Yateem has fully refurbished and installed a higher capacity oven. The bakery is now operating with 25% increased capacity and helping orphan and needy families with their daily bread benefiting over ten thousand people.
Our emergency relief programs have helped over four thousand people that were affected by the draught and flooding in Somalia, Kenya, and Yemen. This was a mixture of hot- meal programs and food packages. We have also completed 4 waterwell projects in needy area in the Gambia, Kenya, and Somalia.

We have maintained the Help Yateem health clinic and the school in Gambia helping the rural community in Gambia. We have helped many families with maternity and basic health services and educational needs. We took the task of maintaining and assisting with operational costs and we continue to do that consistently. This year have built a mosque next to Clinic and school and this made the village community to grow.

Key to our work for the next five years is creating an environment that enables needy families and orphaned children to become self-sufficient. This will be through improved standards of education and other tailored assistance. The fruits the educational projects take longer time to bear, but it is the only sustainable way to short circuit the cycle of poverty. This is the only way forward as donors’ disposable income is squeezed due to inflation and the increasing cost of their day-to-day expenditure.

Governance and Decision Making

The trustees declare that they have throughout their activities, had regard to Guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. They review all Charity policies and make sure all projects are carried out in accordance with the Charity commission guidelines. Trustees and key members meet every week or every other week depending on the projects at hand and do the risk assessment and safeguarding necessary for the project delivery decisions. We aim to apply the charity governance code. All trustees give of their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year.

Contribution made by volunteers.

Our volunteers, especially the youth, have contributed a lot this year. The youth volunteers managed and made effective use of social media and other donation platforms such as Launch-good, Muslim-giving, Ramadan-Giving and Just-giving. They also helped to improve our website and made mobile phone user friendly. We listened to our donors and most of them requested to improve the mobile phone donation frame. We also had our own volunteers on the countries we were supporting especially Gambia, Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Yemen. The charity is grateful for their contribution.

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set.

Overall, the fundraising for the year ended 2024 was good and achieved what we expected. We have earlier acknowledged that 2023/2024will be tough and will be lower than previous year as the donor disposable is squeezed by the high inflation of food and energy. But with the use of TV adverts such as Eman Channel and social media outlets and traditional fundraising, we managed to conduct fruitful fundraising.

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period

Help Yateem had a stable year, and total receipts were £267041. Total Expenditure on different projects for the year was £320576. We had existing funds carried forward from last year that we used and with this Help Yateem bank balance was £112436 as at 30 September 2024. Help Yateem policy is to have a healthy balance on unrestricted funds for three to six months to cover the running costs of the schools we assist in educational facilities as well as the admin cost necessary to maintain our website and resource generating activities. We managed not to overdraw throughout the year and have a healthy reserve for future outstanding projects.

Our main source of funding comes from online donation and donation platforms such As Launch-good, Muslim-Giving, Ramadan-Giving and Give-Brite. T h e o n l i n e d o n a t i o n p l a t f o r m s m a d e d o n a t i o n s m o r e e f f i c i e n t , s e c u r e a n d h a v e a g o o d r e p o r t i n g s y s t e m . We also do Mosque Collection during Ramadan. We do TV adverts and once a year we do TV fundraising. We also participate in local events and fundraise. This year we participated in the East London Marathon run and our team won the race. Local engagements create higher awareness for Help yateem charity and is vital for our connection with our local donors.
