Objectives and Strategic activities
The objects of the charity are set below:
- A) To advance the religion of Islam by means of but not exclusively, promoting the teachings and tenets of Islam, provision or assistance in the provision of facilities for worship and Islamic education in accordance with the teachings of Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) as interpreted by the Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jammah school of thought.
Summary of the main activities and achievements undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects of the charity during the year.
To promote health: safe water, clean hands, and healthy bodies. Dirty water equates to sickness, sickness is time lost, this is reduced, and people can get back to the work of lifting themselves out of poverty.
To relieve hunger: access to water leads to food security. With less crop loss, hunger is reduced. Families can feed themselves, reducing living costs.
To relieve poverty: water can break the cycle of poverty. The communities we serve are ready to grow, they grow through our help and guidance.
To provide for wherever there is the most need: helping the neediest in the quickest time possible, relieving one struggle of many.

This year, the Al Medina 313 achieved success in the following projects:
QURBANI
Qurbani means sacrifice. Every year during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, sheep, cow or camel – to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of God. For many impoverished families, Eid alAdha is the only time of year they will benefit from nutritious meals with meat. In 2021, We, at Al Medina, sacrificed a total of 7 sheep/goats in Pakistan, Syria & Yemen.
5
HUNGER
After steadily declining for a decade, world hunger is on the rise, affecting 9.9 percent of people globally . From 2019 to 2020, the number of undernourished people grew by as many as 161 million, a crisis driven largely by conflict, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The solution to combatting hunger seems simple — get food to people in need when they need it.
Al Medina is fighting it’s share in combatting hunger in areas hit with severe poverty in Pakistan, Uganda, Syria & Palestine.
6
Water
Water scarcity is defined as a water deficiency or a lack of safe water supplies. As the population of the world grows and the environment becomes further affected by climate change, access to fresh drinking water dwindles.
Globally, 785 million people lack access to clean drinking water. Every day, over 800 children die from dirty water, due to diarrhea caused by poor water, sanitation and hygiene and scarce or unreliable water and sanitation facilities in many communities around the world. These facts make us play our Part in trying to solve the Water Crisis in the areas where we can have a reach. Till date, Al-Medina has installed over 600 water facilities which include Wells and tube Wells in different parts of Pakistan and Uganda which is benefitting hundreds of poor people in impoverished areas.
7
Achievements and Performance
We have sacrificed 7 sheep/goats on 2021 Qurbani and distributed the Qurbani meat in over 100 families which benefitted 300 individuals directly. This led to joy as well as support to these families who received the meat for the Eid.
In these testing times of Covid-19 pandemic, we have tried to get to most needy people with food packs in Pakistan, Syria, Uganda and Palestine. As many as 1000 individuals benefitted.
We have managed to install around 600 water facilities including wells and tube wells, this has transformed the lives of many communities.
This was all possible with the support of our donors who contributed towards this cause.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 07 AUG 2020 TO 06 AUG 2021 TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts for the period 07[th] August 2020 to 06[th] August 2021 set out below.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
To state weather particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements have not been met;
or
- (2) To which. In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
