Message from the chair of the board of Trustees

Hamza Ahmed

Asalamualaikum/ peace be unto you.

I would like to begin by thanking all of our donors. It is through your donations that we have been able to save many lives and ease the suffering of countless families and individuals.

It has been an eventful year. Mission relief came to fruition because of the dedication and generosity of the public. In short, a family holiday to Kenya turned into a charity campaign to help a few of the many we saw, living in poverty. I never imagined that a plea to the public would be so well received and in turn, their donations and support inspired us to set up and register Mission Relief.

Although Mission Relief is at a very early stage, our work is already making a difference and impacting many lives but there is so much more we aspire to do. Our aim is not just to meet immediate needs, but to create lasting change. Together, we strive to:

Relieve Suffering: We are dedicated to providing immediate relief to those affected by disasters, poverty, and hardship. With your support, we can offer shelter, food, and medical aid to those who need it most.

Empower Communities: Our goal is not just to give a handout but to offer a hand up. We work to empower communities through education, skill development, and sustainable development projects. We believe in equipping people with the tools to build a better future.

Inspire Compassion: We aim to inspire compassion, not just in our donors but in everyone we touch. Through our efforts, we hope to encourage a world where people come together to help one another, regardless of borders or boundaries.

Create a Better Tomorrow: Our long-term vision is to create a world where suffering is minimised, where people are lifted out of poverty, and where every individual has the opportunity to lead a life of dignity and purpose.

None of this would be possible without your continued support. Your generosity, your belief in our cause, and your willingness to respond are the driving forces behind our success.

As we look to the future, we dream of even greater achievements. We envision expanding our reach, impacting more lives, and turning despair into hope. With your continued support, we can turn these dreams into reality.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your unwavering commitment, your generous donations, your time, and your trust in our mission.

With gratitude and warm regards,

Chairman of the board
