Reflecting on 2024 - A Year of Compassion and Impact

1. Reflecting on 2024 - A Year of Compassion and Impact In 2024, your generosity enabled us to reach over 1.2 million people across 13 countries, transforming lives through essential aid, sustainable projects and emergency relief efforts. From delivering food and clean water to supporting education and rebuilding communities, your donations made a profound difference. This past year was marked by crises that left millions struggling, including the devastating conflict in Gaza and catastrophic floods in Bangladesh. Yet, through your unwavering support, we were able to respond swiftly, offering relief, hope and long-term solutions to those in need. Emergency Relief in Gaza The ongoing conflict in Gaza has created immense suffering, depriving families of food, clean water and medical care. Hospitals have been overwhelmed and widespread destruction has left thousands homeless. Thanks to your support, we catered for 391,012 instances of need, delivering essential relief to those most affected. Our teams distributed over 58,000 freshly cooked meals and 7,188 family food packs, ensuring that thousands of people had access to food during the hardest days of the crisis. Additionally, we supplied one million litres of clean water, providing relief to over 79,500 people, and delivered medical assistance and medicines to cater for 210,000 instances of need. In a place where access to healthcare is scarce, this support was truly life-saving. Providing Clean Water for Thousands Access to clean and safe drinking water remains one of the most urgent needs in many parts of the world. In 2024, we made significant progress in addressing water scarcity. We installed 5,940 water hand pumps, giving 142,350 people access to safe drinking water every year. These hand pumps provide a sustainable water source for families who previously had to walk long distances for water. In areas struggling with severe droughts, we introduced 269 solar-powered water wells in Pakistan and Uganda, benefiting 54,400 people. These wells provide a sustainable, long-term

Additionally, 131 larger water wells were constructed across Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uganda, providing clean water to 35,460 people. By improving access to clean water, we have helped prevent disease and eased the daily burden on countless families. Rebuilding Lives After Disasters In Bangladesh, the worst floods in three decades left millions homeless, putting over two million children at risk. With your support, we distributed food packs to 4,968 people, repaired homes for 528 individuals and constructed mid-term shelters for 74 displaced Rohingya refugees. These efforts provided security and stability to those who lost everything in the disaster. In Pakistan, the devastating floods displaced thousands of families, destroying homes and livelihoods. In response, we partnered with Al Madina Mosque Barking to establish the Al Madina Model Village in Matiari, Sindh. This initiative provided 100 flood-affected families with new homes, each equipped with a kitchen, toilet and solar lighting. The village also includes a community centre, mosque, children’s park and trading market, ensuring long-term sustainability and development. By creating opportunities for self-sufficiency, such as kitchen gardening and local trade, this project has helped families regain stability and dignity.
