Al IHSAAN EDUCATION TRUST Report of the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2025
Our board of trustees (the board) has collective responsibility for everything that we do, including the legal responsibility to ensure the charity is controlled and properly managed.
## **Introduction**
The Trustees of Al Ihsaan Education Trust are pleased to present this report on the activities and expenditures undertaken in support of Al Ihsaan Academy, Barlekha, Moulvibazar, Bangladesh, during the past financial year. The Trust has continued to rely entirely on the generosity of friends and family members residing in the United Kingdom. Their contributions have been vital in sustaining the Academy, where our shared vision is to provide underprivileged children with access to free education, food, accommodation, and opportunities for skills development.
## **Educational Provision:**
- 150 full-time students received free education throughout the year, covering core academic subjects, Islamic education, and supplementary skills development.
• 35 children were provided with daily food, accommodation, clothing, and essential teaching and learning materials, ensuring their holistic welfare and participation in education.
- Eight qualified teachers and one caretaker were employed, providing structured teaching, pastoral care, and maintenance of the facilities.
- Two boarding supervisors received free food and accommodation while overseeing the welfare, discipline, and daily routines of boarding students.
This structured educational and residential support has created a secure and nurturing environment where children can thrive academically and personally.
## **Skill Development and Vocational Training:**
To enhance self-sufficiency and employment opportunities, the Academy invested in vocational and technical resources:
- 15 computers were purchased to support IT education and digital literacy.
- 15 sewing machines were acquired to promote tailoring and garment-making skills.
- Initial steps were taken to establish technical training programmes in electrical works, including installation of fans, generators, solar panels, and air conditioning systems. However, the Trust acknowledges that significant financial resources are required to secure qualified engineers and provide certified training to students.

## Al IHSAAN EDUCATION TRUST
Report of the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2025
## **Fishery Farm Initiative:**
In line with our long-term strategy to make the Academy more sustainable, the Trust invested 50,000 Takas in a Fishery Farm Project. The initiative has been highly successful, generating an approximate profit of 150,000 Takas. This demonstrates the potential for future investment in self-sustaining projects to reduce reliance on donor contributions.
## **Infrastructure Development:**
A key milestone this year was the continuation of the Building Project.
• A three-floor extension was completed on the eastern side of the Academy, enabling the creation of six additional classrooms.
- Despite this expansion, demand continues to grow, and currently, over 50 students remain on the waiting list, unable to gain admission due to financial and space limitations.
## **Welfare and Emergency Support:**
The Academy faced several welfare-related challenges during the year:
- During a period of extreme cold weather, the Trust purchased 30 additional blankets to ensure the health and comfort of students.
• One student fell severely ill, requiring emergency medical treatment. The Trust had to hire a private ambulance and admit the student to a private clinic, costing the organisation 35,000 Takas. This unforeseen expense placed additional pressure on already limited resources.
## **Financial Challenges:**
While the Academy continues to achieve remarkable progress, financial limitations remain a significant challenge:
• Rising costs have forced the Academy to suspend the provision of free food and accommodation for new students, limiting its ability to extend support to additional children.
• The expansion of vocational and technical training programmes requires large sums of investment, particularly to engage certified professionals and purchase advanced training equipment.

Al IHSAAN EDUCATION TRUST Report of the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2025
## **Conclusion and Appeal:**
The Trustees of Al Ihsaan Education Trust are committed to continuing their support for Al Ihsaan Academy and to expanding its services where possible. The past year has seen notable successes in education, infrastructure, and income generation. However, increasing demand, welfare needs, and the ambition to provide vocational training underscore the need for continued and expanded financial support.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all donors, particularly those in the UK, whose generosity has been the backbone of this project. With sustained and increased contributions, the Academy will be able to:
- Admit the 50+ students currently on the waiting list,
- Reinstate and expand food and accommodation provision,
- Scale up vocational training with qualified professionals,
- Further invest in sustainable projects such as agriculture and fisheries,
- And continue to safeguard the health, wellbeing, and future of its students.

Some work tirelessly to raise funds for our work and help run the charity, whilst others work directly with children and young people through our services such as being a trained volunteer or delivering our Maddrasah service.
Given the absence of a reliable measurement basis, donated services from our volunteers are not included within the financial statements. This is in line with the requirements of Charities SORP (FRS 102).
