## **KARAM BHOOMI FOUNDATION TRUSTEES REPORT FOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS 1 JANUARY 2021 TO 31 DECEMBER 2021**
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 the second to be submitted by the Charity since its establishment in 2019 and this report covers the period from 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2021 (“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 continuing to work with its partner An Initiative to 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 relatively new charity, Karam Bhoomi’s strategy during 2021 was primarily to increase awareness of the Charity and its causes, and raise funds by attracting supporters whose views were aligned to those of the Charity. As in 2020, opportunities to do so during 2021 were limited due to sporadic lockdowns and disruptions caused by coronavirus.
Nevertheless, the Charity managed to raise £16,900 (compared to £6000 in 2020) through:
- personal donations of varying sizes, the biggest of which was £5000; and
- a raffle in which the prize was two centre court Wimbledon seats during the second week of the tournament.
Of the proceeds received by the charity £15,000 was sent to AITYS for its chartable cause of supporting the needy in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand, where the people were still recovering from the Covid crisis, and refurbishing dilapidated schools in the area.
During the year the charity updated its website. The website is now more elaborate and gives people accessing the website more information about the charity and should increase people’s awareness. The next objective is to develop the website to facilitate online donations, one off or regular.
The charity is now also set up to collect HMRC Gift Aid for its contributions, where it applies to donors.
The charity did not have a deficit during the Reporting Period.
