KARAM BHOOMI FOUNDATION TRUSTEES REPORT FOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS 5 NOVEMBER 2019 TO 31 DECEMBER 2020
This is the Trustees’ report for Karam Bhoomi Foundation (“the Charity”), a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, charity number 1186163, on 5 November 2019 in England. These financials are first submitted by the Charity since its establishment and the report covers the period from 5 November 2019 until 31 December 2020 (“the Reporting Period”).
The Charity is managed by three trustees – Kaizarin Kalifa, as the Chair, along with Anju Lama Chguhtai and Gabriela Collins – and operates with the primary purpose of supporting the needy and relieving poverty by supporting education and welfare of underprivileged children and their families in India. During the Reporting Period, the Charity did this by working with its partner An Initiative Touch Your Soul (AITYS), whose aims are compatible with those of the Charity. AITYS is an all volunteer charitable trust based in India that provides education sponsorship for children, infrastructure support for schools and free medical camps for villagers in designated locations in Uttarakhand, a northern state in India bordering China.
As a newly established charity, during 2019/20 its strategy was to increase awareness of the Charity and its causes, and raise funds by attracting supporters whose views were aligned to those of the Charity. Opportunities to do so were limited due to lockdowns and disruptions caused by coronavirus during much of 2020. Nevertheless, the Charity managed to raise over £6000 through personal donations and a bingo fund raising event and which enabled it to contribute £5000 to AITYS. These monies were distributed by AITYS to support families in Uttarakhand who were struggling to survive because their livelihoods had been disrupted by loss of earnings and jobs due to the coronavirus crisis.
The charity did not have a deficit during the Reporting Period.
The Charity is working to set up a website which should further increase awareness of the Charity and facilitate online donations. The Charity has yet to be registered for HMRC gift aid and this remains one of the objectives going forward.
