With the kind donation and support of the trustees, members/volunteers and well-wishers, Iqra welfare association has started some projects to fulfil the basic needs of the poor, homeless, disadvantaged and needy people. Here are some brief description and evidence of our projects: ## **NEW BUILDING AND CLASSROOMS:** **New building for deprived children:** We built a new building which has two rooms, one study room, one bedroom, and one kitchen where students can study and live as well. Iqra has six classes in different places in Kulaura (Sylhet division) in Bangladesh where we teach morning and afternoon basic IT and English languages including the religious studies. Our teachers are committed to maintain the teaching quality and follow the methodology set by the charity and they are happy to get training as well as happy to learn with the new curriculum. We keep progress reports and hold regular parents/guardian meetings in order to keep them updated with the progress of these education centers. _Page#3_ ## **WIDOW'S HOUSE:** **House for homeless widow:** Iqra Welfare Association is building houses for disadvantaged families including widows and orphans. It has already built 6 twobedroom houses with one kitchen and bathroom for 6 families so far. Picture attached for a widow's house and has handed over the key to the family. ## **REGULAR FOOD PACKS:** **Feed the Hunger Project:** Iqra provides food packets for needy people in the area regularly. In the fasting month of Ramadan, we provided Ramadan meals for poor people. Our volunteers are giving food packs to widows and orphan families. _Page#4_ ## **WATER FOR DRINKING AND WASHING UP:** **Water Project for school pupils:** Pure water is very important for health wellbeing. As Bangladesh has a huge pure water problem that’s why Iqra has initiated to build some water pumps in a few areas where all needy school pupils got the facility from the water pumps. _Page#5_ ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS OF** ## **IQRA WELFARE ASSOCIATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 16 November 2023** ## **Charity no.: 1197747** I have examined the accounts on pages 8 to 11, which have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies set out on page 10. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement:** My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 examiner's 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:  to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 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. ## **Mohammad Sarwar Alam** , **AFA MIPA** MSA & Co Accountancy Ltd 31 Pirton Road Luton LU4 9HX 11 September 2024 _Page#6_ ## **IQRA WELFARE ASSOCIATION Income and Expendature Account** ## **For The Year Ended 16th November 2023** |**Notes**
