## **Financial review** 

The above figures are to be true to the best of our knowledge starting from December 2022 – December 2023. 

The funds were mainly transferred to Pakistan in order to fund Projects. 

Some funds were used in administration costs such as stationary, office equipment & travel expenses. 

Sadaqah Welfare Trust is engaged in activities to send used clothes from the UK to areas in Pakistan where needed the most. In order to carry out such activities, we quarterly use a Cargo Company which we have had endured shipping costs. Some of the above funds have been used to cover those fees.
