We have overcome many challenges to make the world a better place. The fallout from COVID-19 and spiralling food costs have exacerbated inequalities among the most vulnerable groups of people, especially orphans. These inequalities have pushed more people into poverty, and communities worldwide have been hard hit. **We have** **overcome many challenges to make the world a better place.** The Hope Appeal's commitment to meet these challenges head-on is down to a group of dedicated humanitarians who work tirelessly to ensure that people can access the basics like water, food, and shelter. **Page 1** **We thank everyone for making The Hope Appeal's first year phenomenol.** In Iraq, we are supporting over 20 widow families and their children with monthly stipends for food, rent, and medicine. We have distributed food packages to over 1,300 low-income families. In Pakistan, we have distributed over 1,750 food packages to the victims of last year's devastating floods. In Tanzania, we have commissioned the building of 15 water wells and will build more this year. We have delivered hundreds of warm blankets, clothes, and ready-to-eat meals to the victims of this year's earthquake in Turkey. This year, we aim to support more families to become economically self-sufficient through microfinance schemes. We will increase our clean water projects, expand our Little Hearts orphan sponsorship programme, continue distributing food aid to communities experiencing food insecurity, and respond to emergency crises worldwide. We thank our colleagues, donors, and supporters for making The Hope Appeal's first year phenomenal.

Without the right support, orphans are vulnerable and struggle to make it by themselves. **Page 8** SOME OF THE ORPHANS WE HAVE SUPPORTED Iv- .11 Page 9 ## **ORPHANS & EDUCATION** **According to the Widows and Orphans Development Foundation there are about 1,696,349 orphans in Tanzania.** An estimated 2 million children between the ages of 7 and 13 years are not in education 3.3 million children under 5 years suffer from chronic malnutrition Almost 5 out of 10 children live in extreme poverty **The Hope Appeal has contributed to constructing the third building of the The Haven of Peace Orphanage in Tanzania.** Over 150 orphans now have a safe place to call home and they receive a first-class education at the orphanage's school. Alongside providing food, shelter and education, the orphanage also handles the children's medical needs. The grounds are beautiful and allow children to play and grow. **Page 10** HAVEN OF PEACE ORPHANAGE 12oabs Jlrk (L￿$r(￿)M IlkKks Page 11 ## **ORPHANS & EDUCATION** ## **According the United Nations Development Programme 3.2 million children are not in education in Iraq** Iraq allocated only 6% of its national budget to the education sector 39% of the rural population is illterate Girls aged 12 and older have an illiteracy rate that is more than twice that of boys **The Hope Appeal have contributed to the costs of education fees, stationery, books and uniforms for over 1,000 children in Iraq.** Education is a key social and cultural right.

Up to 21.7 million people already need clean, safe drinking water, with over 40 percent lacking soap and handwashing facilities. This increases the likelihood of the spread of waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid. **Page 18** AID DISTRIBUTION IN PAKISTAN HPPE LOOD RELIEF APPEAL 2022 PAKISTAN ,11 ppl ro Page 19 **RAMADAN FOOD DRIVE** ## **According to the United Nations, Tanzania is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world** An estimated 20 percent of families are unable to afford a healthy diet 5.5 million people are food insecure 7 percent of the population still live below the poverty line **In Tanzania, we have distributed over 4,000 food packages as part of our food drive, benefitting approximately 15,000 people.** Tanzania faces massive challenges, including food shortages, violence against women, high levels of unemployment, and children not in education.
