## **Projects:** 

## **Outreach** 

## _Project 1 – Somali Appeal_ 

The efforts of our annual Somali Appeal have been greatly received in the regions in which we operate. Families are now able to look forward to a steady supply of food packages, a sense of stability that has never been afforded to them, until now. 

Each food packages contains: 

- 12.5kg of rice and sugar 

- 10kg of flour 

- 3 litres of oil 

- 2 kg of dates 

- 1 carton of pasta containing seven packs 

In hopes of raising awareness of our recipients living condition, we aim to increase our donations to suffice the families for the month of Ramadan by providing each family with higher quality food parcels and larger portions. Reinforcing the foundations of our work, we hope to cement our roots and expand our outreach to more than two hundred families. 

## _Project 2 – Yemen Appeal_ 

As this was the organisations’ first project in Yemen, we found it best to take a similar approach to our Somali Appeal. We were able to establish an independent group of volunteers that met our vigorous checks and parameters. Having a team with great local knowledge and expertise of the community in which we are serving, we were able to provide sixty families, who were in the most need with food packs. 

Each food pack contains: 

- 5kg of flour 

- 5kg of rice 

- 5kg or sugar 

- 4L of oil 

## _Project 3 – Orphans Trust_ 

The long-term goal of this project is to create a global support system in which we are able to create orphanages in areas that are most deprived. While our priority is to provide, shelter, food, and an education for the children, unlike other systems we aim to uphold the development of young minds. We want to ensure they are able to be children and enjoy the throes of childhood, to do so, recreational activities and hobbies will be a strong constant in their day-to-day life. Our first orphanage was set to be built in Uganda. 

To fully execute this plan, we began fundraising in 2020, unfortunately we were set back by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Despite a global shut down, our organisation was able to work remotely and this year we were able to start the construction. With our estimates we had hoped to house a hundred orphans, however, due to the drastic change in the financial climate after the pandemic - we found it more effective to implement the project on a smaller scale. 

By creating an environment that accommodates twenty to the thirty children we are aiming to create a trust within the community and soon continue to build on a much larger scale. 



## **Online Islamic Education** 

At Ribaat Ashatiri we believe our foundation is built of upholding Islamic knowledge and providing a method in which it is accessible to everyone. It has been a goal of the organisation to have a full-time salaried teacher because at present the sole teacher is on voluntary basis, but this has proven to be difficult as our funding is dependent on donations. Despite having interest in the role, having no marketing team has further limited the general publics’ awareness of the services provided by the organisation. 

As an organisation we are immersed within our community and have a great awareness that many people are interested in the courses we aim to provide. As mentioned previously, without a marketing team, we are unable to increase our access to our target audience and in turn have a reduced number of students enrolling. 

Hopefully in the next coming years we aim to provide consistent rolling courses, the key components of this goal includes a full-time salaried teacher and a marketing team. Securing these key components; the organisation will be able to provide the much-needed provision that the community are depending on us to provide. 



Financial review 

## Statement on reserves 

Our reserves limit this year has increased to £5000. This means any amount of unrestricted funds up to and including £5000 may be reserved by the charity, for the reasons outlined in reserves policy. We aim to only have an amount of reserves that is proportionate to what is required to continue our existing operations and respond to any urgent operational needs that may arise, in the face of unexpected financial implications. Income from any sources are principally used to further our charitable purposes and benefit those whom we work with. Our reserve limit will be adjusted accordingly as our work progresses, which will be reflected in our Reserves Policy.
