## STRUCTURE: GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
## **Governing Document**
Amanah Aid is established as a charitable organisation CIO with the Charity’s Commission and is governed by a constitution.
The organisation received its charity status from the Charity Commission on the 10[th] June 2016. The organisation is very small and simple in structure, enabling it to be focused on its objectives, enabling three trustees: Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer to run the day-to-day work with the support of other members and seek external support where required in the area of finance and accounts, etc.
The trustees ensure, to the best of their ability, to ensure proper due diligence is carried out, end use of funds and value for money in implementing projects.
## **Our Aims and Objectives**
1. The advancement of education for the benefit of the general public, in particular but not exclusively for the poor and needy people of Bangladesh and the UK, by funding and supporting existing ongoing educational institutes and organisations.
2. The relief of sickness and the preservation of health, in particular but not exclusively, among poor and needy people living in Bangladesh by funding and supporting existing ongoing healthcare institutes and organisations and by funding and supporting the installation of bore holes, water pumps and latrine buildings.
3. The relief of financial hardship, in particular but not exclusively, among poor and needy people living in Bangladesh by funding and supporting the building of new temporary and permanent housing and repairing existing shelters damaged by natural and man-made disasters.
4. The relief of financial need and suffering
amongst victims of natural or other kinds of disaster, in particular in Bangladesh and the UK, in the form of food, food banks, food vouchers and money (or other means deemed suitable) for persons, bodies, organizations and/or countries affected including the provision of medical aid by arranging for the purchase and delivery of aid to such areas; co-operating with others to get aid to the right place; identifying the real needs of those affected by disaster and ways of meeting those needs;
5. To further and advance such other purposes which may be charitable according to the law of England and Wales as the trustees see fit from time to time.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have considered the general guideline issued by the Charity Commission in connection with Public Benefit in setting the objectives of the Charity and, in particular, they have considered holding planned activities further the Charity's objects.

As part of our seasonal support efforts, we distributed a large number of food packs and winter blankets to underprivileged families in Chandpur, Habiganj, Maulvibazar, Sunamganj and Sylhet.

These initiatives have made a tangible difference in the lives of hundreds of individuals, offering both immediate relief and long-term community benefits.
## **Risk Management**
