Shelter, water and food are the core fundamentals all humans require for survival and having the opportunity to build a total of 52 houses and build another water plant to help people living their simple lives in makeshift mud and straw huts is truly amazing for such a small charity organisation like Children of Adam Appeal. With the cost of all material and living essentials affecting all lives across the globe, it was challenging to meet the demand to build houses and more water plants, but thanks to the kind donations and continues support and cooperation from the team in Malawi we managed to help with a permanent house which each family can live in with the relief of not having to worry about building another house each time the rainy season starts in Malawi. There are so many people who could be helped with housing and clean water in Malawi as from having travelled their over 6 times now, we see majority of the population don’t ever dream to be out of the current cycle of housing, water and food poverty, but our team with the support of our donors aims to do our best to help as many as possible each year. Kindly continue to support our worth cause. ## Sajjad Mahmood **Children of Adam Appeal** 88 Aberdeen Place Bradford, BD7 2HF info@childrenofadamappeal.co.uk +447962185076 **/** +447852939180 www.childrenofadamappeal.co.uk **Charity No: 1159974** ## **Trustee’s Report** **Children of Adam Appeal** was entered into the Charity Commission’s Register of Charities on 16 January 2015.

The understand of the contractors we use in each project and the volunteers who travel and those who help us collectively operate in Malawi is totally down to the core fundamental of COAA, which is to help the neediest but also based on what the demands are from the community we choose to help and support. We always aim to have an open and transparent account of our project and have always been willing to explain all exchanges and agreements with any donor when and if required. We hope this report also aids with the open transparency policy we aim to hold and maintain. **Children of Adam Appeal** 88 Aberdeen Place Bradford, BD7 2HF info@childrenofadamappeal.co.uk +447962185076 **/** +447852939180 www.childrenofadamappeal.co.uk **Charity No: 1159974** ## **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT** **Charity registration period 2[nd] November 2022 – 1[st] November 2023** **02/11/2022 – 01/11/2023** |**Income**|**Restricted**|**Unrestricted**|| |---|---|---|---| |Non Gift-Aided
