## Achievements and Performance
## Chair’s Report
In this year of the charity, we have managed to continue supporting the distribution of food packages within the Raigad District of Maharashtra, India. The food packages covered approximately 150 households, averaging 4-5 people per household. These packages provided food staples such as rice, chapatti flour and lentils. Each food package was envisaged to be enough to last each household for 6-8 weeks. The primary objective of this initiative was to tackle food insecurity in the area.
This year we have also provided funds to a Widows Fund, to support those in need within the Raigad District of Maharashtra, India who have lost their household income due to loss of their spouse.
Additionally, we have provided funds for medical bills for a patient in India and funds to support education towards 3 children’s school fees in Tanzania and towards 2 children’s school fees in Raigad District, Maharashtra, India.
The food packages programme will continue to be a once-a-year support that we envisage continuing on in future years.
Yours Sincerely,
Kamrunnisa Khan

## Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity is constituted as a Company Incorporated Organisation. The Directors of the Company are also Trustees of the Charity. Eligibility for membership of the Charity and membership of the Board of Trustees is governed by the Constitution. There are no restrictions on the operation of the Charity or on its investment powers, other than those imposed by general Charity law.
## Statement of responsibilites of the Trustees
The Charities Acts require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will not continue on that basis.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with both charity and company law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees’ report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner (where necessary) in relation to the Trustees’ report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
## Respectve responsibilites of trustees and examiners
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). The charity’s gross income did not exceed £25,000.
