The accompanying Financial Statements are also fully compliant with SORP and detail the charity’s incoming resources and resources expended during the year. ## **Objectives and Activities** The principal objective of the charity is the prevention or relief of poverty and financial hardship either generally or individually anywhere in the world for the public benefit. This is achieved through the provision, or assistance in the provision, of education, training, healthcare, and other forms of support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and become selfsufficient. Our core charitable activities include: - Installation of clean water infrastructure (e.g. water pumps, wells, and solar water systems) - Supporting the local food bank - Orphan sponsorship programmes - Annual Ramadan food pack distribution - Annual Qurbani meat distribution - Hot meals for the poor and needy - Clothing distribution - Masjid re-building projects to create community spaces - Construction of homes for impoverished families - Zakat distribution to the most vulnerable - Emergency aid and refugee relief - Distribution of educational materials - Supporting the local food bank In setting objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. ## **Achievements and Performance** In line with our charitable aims, we undertook a broad range of impactful humanitarian activities. The global landscape continues to be challenged by natural disasters, conflicts, and mass displacement, reinforcing the critical need for sustained charitable interventions. Thanks to the unwavering generosity of our donors, we have reached thousands of individuals with vital support including food, hygiene, shelter, and empowerment opportunities: - We continue to build on the success of our clean water project. This year was atremendous success—we successfully provided and installed thousands of water pumps and community solar water wells in some of the most deprived areas of Sindh, Pakistan. - Our daily community Iftar project was also a great success. We provided daily Iftar meals to the poorest and most vulnerable during Ramadan. With increasing numbers of beneficiaries, the initiative brought joy, relief, and a strong sense of unity to all who participated. - Our yearly Qurbani project in providing sacrificial meat was again highly impactful. We successfully distributed Qurbani meat to thousands of families across multiple regions. Beneficiary numbers increased this year, and the joy and gratitude expressed by recipients was overwhelming. The growing trust and support from donors reflects their confidence in the transparency and effectiveness of our work. - Thousands of families benefited from our Ramadan food pack distributions and hot meals programmes. - Our "Rozgar" livelihood programme enabled individuals to achieve sustainable income and greater independence. - In Uganda, we are pleased to share that we have completed the construction of 40 homes for disadvantaged families in rural areas. This achievement has had a profound impact on the lives of vulnerable households, providing them with safe, dignified and stable living conditions. Building on the success of this initiative, the project has now transitioned into a long-term programme. Our ongoing commitment is to continue delivering habitable, resilient homes that uplift the poor and needy, ensuring that more families can benefit from improved living standards and renewed hope for a better future. Pakistan Floods Emergency Response: During the reporting year, Pakistan experienced devastating floods that caused extensive loss of life, displacement and destruction of homes, livelihoods and essential infrastructure. In response to this humanitarian crisis, Hope for Mankind team was deployed on the ground to deliver urgent lifesaving assistance. Our field teams worked tirelessly in severely affected regions, providing emergency food parcels, clean water, temporary shelters, and essential items to families who had lost everything. This rapid intervention ensured that vulnerable households received immediate relief during a period of immense hardship. Our efforts continue to focus on making a tangible, lasting difference in the lives of those most in need. - 4 - ## **HOPE FOR MANKIND** ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The Charity is regulated by a constitution dated February 2017 and is operated entirely by volunteers. ## Appointment of Charity Trustees: Trustees are appointed through a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
