In addition, Umar Abubaker serves as a contractor who oversees the day-to-day operations of the charity, including collections, administration, finance, project oversight, and fundraising.

Section F Other optional information

This year marked another step forward in our commitment to serve the vulnerable and uphold the trust placed in us by our supporters. Despite growing humanitarian crises globally, our small but determined team remained active, responsive, and deeply rooted in community values.

We wish to thank all our donors — many of whom continue to give quietly, without recognition — and the volunteers who give their time, energy, and sincerity without seeking reward. It is their selflessness that fuels the work we do.

We also acknowledge the growing public engagement across our social media platforms, which has helped raise awareness, mobilise funds rapidly, and share the real stories behind the numbers.

While the challenges are many — rising costs, political instability in aid zones, and donor fatigue — our resolve remains strong. We believe every small act of kindness matters, and every penny entrusted to us is a responsibility before God and the people.

As we look to the coming year, we aim to strengthen our reporting, develop more structured aid programmes, and expand our outreach while staying true to the grassroots, people-first approach that has defined us since day one.
