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.

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;
