Achievements & Performances

Qurbani Project

Qurbani is not only a religious duty on Muslims ordained by Allah and practiced by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions, but it is also a wonderful opportunity for Muslims to help their fellow humans who are suffering from abject poverty around the world.

We would like to thank all the generous donors of Hope Foundation Helping the Helpless for placing their trust in us to implement their Qurbani this year. We were able to able to carry out the qurbani project through different charities. Hope Foundation Helping the Helpless had carried out over 3,000 qurbani projects to feed a family in need. As a result, just like every year, we were able to feed thousands of vulnerable families around the world on this blessed occasion. Bringing happiness and smiles to the faces of widows, struggling to raise their children, old, aged people with disabilities facing hunger and children affected by disasters and wars. We pray Allah SWT rewards you abundantly for your generous donations.

Mosque

A masjid is a symbolic place that plays an instrumental role in the social, moral, and educational uplifting of the Muslim community. A place for collectively remembering The Divine. With the help of donors, Hope Foundation Helping the Helpless bears maintenance and operational costs of Masjid that it has built.

Ramadan Project

Food is a basic necessity for survival and also the key to a healthy life. Without regular healthy meals children struggle to go to school; carers struggle to work and communities are left battling to survive.

In Ramadan, Hope Foundation Helping the Helpless provided families with urgent food to ensure they are able to have iftaar with a nutritious meal. Our Ramadan food parcel ensured a family has enough food during the month of Ramadan.

Turkey Earthquake

In Turkey, our teams worked to prioritize child protection, mental health support, education, shelter and water. We supported families with mental health support, education, livelihoods, nutrition, health and water while strengthening resilience to future shocks.

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.

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;

2) To which. In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
