Sadia Islamic College
As of November 2022, the charity's vision of providing education to girls in deprived areas has materialized with the construction of a school in Attock, Pakistan. The decision to build the school was made by the trustees in recognition of the dire need for basic necessities, such as education, in the area.
The construction work, which began in November 2020, has been ongoing and is now complete. The school has been built to high standards and boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including modern classrooms, a library, a science laboratory, and a computer room.
The construction process was not without its challenges, but the dedicated team of workers and volunteers persevered and overcame them. The trustees also made sure to ensure that the construction was done in an environmentally friendly manner.
Now that the construction work has been completed, the school is ready to enroll students. The school has already received interest from families in the surrounding areas, and the trustees expect to fill the school's capacity of 200 students quickly. The school will provide quality education to girls who otherwise may not have had access to it, with the aim of empowering them to take control of their own futures.
Overall, the completion of this school is a significant achievement for the charity and a crucial step in achieving its goal of providing education to girls in deprived areas. It is hoped that the impact of this initiative will be felt for generations to come.

The charity's Qurbani project in Pakistan provided fresh meat to needy individuals during Eid alAdha. Beneficiaries were mainly widows, orphans, and the elderly. The project supported the local economy and promoted community and solidarity. Overall, it was a significant initiative with a positive impact.

Basis of the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

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.
