Our main activities in 2023:

The trustees are pleased to present this report for 2023 to our donors, volunteers and all our communities. It is also being submitted to the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

With God’s blessings and donors’ help, we invested the income on these worthy projects:

1. Health :

Raazi Hospital, Pakistan : This great health care provider is serving the sick and needy in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Due to increasing demand, it needed to add substantial capacity. An individual donor pledged £60,000 over 3-5 years and paid around £13,000 this year to help build an operation theatre. Some of the zakah given by our donors was also used to pay for the treatment of poor patients who were not able to pay the less-than-market fees of the hospital. With the zakah given to the Patient Welfare Fund, they were given free treatment. For more info about this, please visit http://alkhidmatraazi.com/rawalpindi/.

1. Education

2. 2.1 Small grants were given to deserving students to pay for their exams fees, books and other essentials.

3. 2.2 A grant to Blue Ink Trust, was given to enhance educational facilities at their school in India.

4. Prisoners’ families: We supported some families whose bread-winners were in prison.
