achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|1)We have established a school in the area
of Chakswari-(Mirpur /A.K)which has now
been running for about 4 years. It is a 5
classroom school providing education from
Reception year upto year 5 of the Pakistani
education system.
Currently we have about 140 children who
attend this school. We are slowly improving
resources and facilities, which include
computer classes, internet and more use of
spoken English. This has been our main
focus throughout this period as we wish to
make a real impact into the lives of people.
During the pandemic- studies have been
difficult as internet access is not readily
available to the poor. We have maintained
some minimal contact with students on a
rotational basis as per local government
guidelines. Teachers fees have continued-
as this will also help alleviate the local
poverty
2) As in previous years, we continue to
feed around 150-200 people once a month
-the food, ready cooked by a local vendor,
for which we pay, is brought onto the
school premises where it is distributed to
the children and any local poor person.
During the pandemic-we created a list of
about 50 poor households to whom we
delivered essential food items.| 3)We work closely with other charities – currently KADECT (British based charity)— which runs a school for Deaf/Dumb children in the local vicinity -we pay for 2 classroom assistants that were needed to support the 30 children that are taught there. This has continued as previous year. 4)We have just obtained permission for the use of an arable plot of land (leased by usfree currently) -we aim to create a Donkey/Animal sanctuary for wounded/sick animals. However, we need to do further research as to how to go about this using British standards. This is currently on hold due to the pandemic. 5) we have purchased dialysis machines and sent them over—six machines have now reached Pakistan and are in storage.We are working closely with local nursing and medical teams to try and establish a Dialysis centre. Things have been delayed due to the Pandemichowever slow progress is being made.We are in discussion with Medics/Technicians and have chosen a site in the city of Haripur for the setting up of this Dialysis centre. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
