In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Asalamu'alaikum Warahmatullah, Peace and blessings are with you.
After the tumultuous years of the Covid-19 pandemic, we were hoping for a more stable world. However, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the rise in global energy and food prices have again pushed the world economy into uncertainty. In the United Kingdom, domestic politics and the global financial situation have spiralled into an economic recession and the worst cost of living crisis since World War II.
Despite this emerging situation, our focus remained on serving the most vulnerable people in Africa and Asia. With a lot of pride, we can say that 2022 has been one of the most productive.
This achievement comes with a series of changes we have been making in the background for the last few years. The sole aim behind these adaptions was to build efficiency within our delivery and operational mechanics so that we can fulfil our promise, "You Give. We Deliver."
This commitment is now driving every aspect of our day-to-day operations.
An example of this transformation can be seen in our Drop of Life Programme. We would take 6-8 months to complete a water project. We complete most of these projects within eight weeks, and most donors receive the full completion report, with pictures, videos and stats, within ten weeks. The same principle holds for health, food, education, capacity building and emergencies.
Another area we have been working on is engaging with the community through sports.
In partnership with H&K Cycle Club, we successfully organised the world's first and only Hijrah Ride. Over 30 riders from various parts of the United Kingdom participated in a cycle ride from Mecca to Medina. These fantastic riders raised over £125,000, funding over 70 children's heart operations in Kenya and Egypt. Over the year, we participated in various sports activities here in England and Turkey. What a fantastic experience this has been.
Alhamdulillah, I have been able to work with an excellent team, and the results have motivated us to work towards assisting those in need of our support. We aim to expand our relationships and focus on long-term sustainable programmes.
I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who believed in our work and entrusted us with their donations. We will keep delivering to those in need and helping communities through our sustainable programmes. This would not be possible without your trust and support.
This Impact Report aims to highlight in detail how your donations have helped communities in some of the world's most vulnerable areas.
Thank you for believing in our mission.
