## **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:** 

## **Water Pumps:** 

Our organization built numerous water pumps throughout southern Pakistan, which provided a constant and reliable water supply to more than 100 households. These water pumps helped to significantly improve the daily lives of families in the area, as they no longer had to worry about finding a safe and clean water source. In addition, the water pumps helped to reduce the spread of water-borne diseases, which were previously a major health concern. 

## **Yemen, Palestine, Pakistan Food Packs:** 

To help families who were struggling to afford food, we delivered food packs to more than 200 families throughout Yemen, Palestine, and Pakistan. These food packs were especially important during the month of Ramadan, when families were fasting for long hours and needed enough food to sustain them through the day. Each food pack contained enough food to last a family for a whole month, ensuring that they had access to healthy and nutritious meals. 

## **Eid Gifts Palestine:** 

To bring some joy to the lives of children living in Palestine, our organization provided Eid gifts to more than 200 children. These children had been suffering from the effects of constant violence in the region, and we wanted to bring some happiness and positivity to their lives. The Eid gifts included toys, books, and other items that the children could enjoy and use in their daily lives. 

## **Camping Retreat:** 

To raise money for the poor and needy in war-torn countries such as Yemen and Palestine, we held a camping retreat in the beautiful Lake District. This event was attended by people from all walks of life who were passionate about supporting charitable causes. The funds raised during this event were used to provide food to those in need in these countries, as well as other forms of aid and support. 

## **Pakistan Floods:** 

When devastating floods hit southern Pakistan, our organization stepped up to provide aid and support to those affected by the disaster. We raised money for food and tents, which we then provided to those who had lost their homes and had limited or no access to food. Our team also went on the ground to this location to provide aid first hand, working tirelessly to ensure that everyone had access to the basic necessities they needed to survive.

## **Uganda Meals:** 

To combat hunger and malnutrition, we provided meals to the poor and needy in Uganda throughout the year. These meals were distributed at various locations throughout the country, and helped to ensure that people had access to food and basic nutrition. Our team worked hard to prepare and distribute these meals, and the impact they had on the lives of those who received them was significant. 

## **Zakaat Payments:** 

To support the neediest people in Uganda and Pakistan, we made cash payments of approximately $100 directly to those who needed them most. These payments were made with the intention of giving people the freedom to use the money for what they needed most, whether that be food, clothing, or other basic necessities. Our team worked closely with local communities to identify those who were most in need, and ensured that the payments went to the right people. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The various humanitarian activities undertaken by Al Medina 313 have benefitted thousands of individuals across different countries. The water pumps built in southern Pakistan provided a constant water supply to more than 100 households, equivalent to more than 400 individuals. More than 200 families across Yemen, Palestine, and Pakistan received food packs, benefiting more than 800 individuals. Over 200 children in Palestine received Eid Gifts, bringing joy to their lives. The camping retreat raised funds that were used to help the poor and needy in war-torn countries, which benefited around 800 individuals. Aid provided during the Pakistan floods helped around 700800 individuals who lost their homes and had limited or no access to food. Meals provided to the poor and needy in Uganda throughout the year benefitted around 800 individuals. Finally, direct cash payments of approx. $100 to the neediest people in Uganda and Pakistan benefitted around 500 individuals. Overall, these activities have provided much-needed assistance to people in need and made a positive impact on their lives. 

We are incredibly grateful for the generous support of our donors, whose contributions have made all of these humanitarian activities possible. Without their support, we would not have been able to build water pumps, provide food packs, deliver Eid gifts, hold the camping retreat, or provide direct cash payments to the neediest people in Uganda and Pakistan. Our donors' support has allowed us to make a significant impact in the lives of thousands of individuals in different countries, providing them with much-needed assistance during difficult times. We cannot overstate the importance of their contributions in making our humanitarian work possible. We remain committed to continuing our efforts to support the most vulnerable populations around the world, and we thank our donors for their continued support in this important work.

## **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.

## **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;
