Founder’s StatementIt is with great satisfaction that I am able to report that Minhaj Welfare Foundation (MWF) has continued to successfully fulfi l its objectives in attempting to alleviate poverty around the world, responding to natural disasters promptly and effectively with much needed aid and supplies, and improving the lives of countless people the world over. MWF continues to grow in its scope of activities and charitable revenue and is considered to be one of the leading charities in the UK. It is also encouraging to note that in spite of the current economic climate, people continue to give to others less fortunate than themselves, thereby allowing MWF to achieve many of its targets.

One of MWF’s major achievements over the last year was responding to the 2010 fl oods in Pakistan, commented by many as one of the world’s worst disasters of recent years. A truly monumental effort by MWF helped to raise over £1 million to go directly to those affl icted by this disaster. Furthermore, its other major project, the construction of the orphanage in Lahore, has progressed almost to completion, again a grand testament to the generosity of its donors and efforts of workers and volunteers. The orphanage will go a long way in providing love, stability and education to the lives of destitute or displaced young people.

As we have always said, the success of charitable work stems from the support and backing of its volunteers; those who devote their time and resources to help those in need. Minhaj Welfare Foundation is immensely grateful to all those who have contributed with donations or their time, thereby making it possible to implement the vast array of projects in the developing world, and closer to home.

One of our key ambitions remains to convert short term projects into long term and sustainable projects for the benefi t of all communities in need. MWF hopes to continue in working in the following areas; Education, Health and General Welfare and we hope that you will continue supporting MWF in all its endeavours in creating a safer world.

Worldwide Humanitarian Development OrganisationA vision for a better future

Building a healthy environment through the model of good education, health care, sustainable living and water & sanitation is like building the framework of a house. Each pillar provides crucial support, without which the whole thing would eventually crumble.

This is the vision of Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri. A world renowned scholar from Pakistan, founder of the international organisation Minhaj ul Quran. Dr Qadri also founded Minhaj Welfare Foundation, a Worldwide Humanitarian Development Organisation in 1989. It has sub branches in over 80 countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East, North America and Europe.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation has set up numerous educational, health and welfare related projects. MWF is considered to be one of the largest NGO’s in the world with over 639 educational institutes including 630 Primary & Secondary schools, 8 IT Colleges and 1 University.

The founder of Minhaj Welfare Foundation has changed how the world views charitable giving. The vision to eradicate poverty stems from many reasons and one of them is lack of education.

During 2010 – 2011, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was invited to speak and address audiences in tackling these issues on various stages.

Shaykh ul Islam Dr Tahir ul Qadri’s powerful speech at GPU 2010

The Global Peace and Unity event (GPU) attracted over 55,000 visitors from five continents in 2010.

“…Islam stood up for the poor and oppressed people, orphans, and women and gave respect and dignity to mankind irrespective of their race, religion and culture. This is Islam which came for promotion of global peace, mercy and dignity.”

Dr Qadri speaking to the audience at the Georgetown University, America

Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri speaking at the United States Institute of Peace 2010


Shaykh-ul-Islam Speaks at the US Institute of Peace 2010

The United States of Institute was created by Congress as a non–partisan, federal institution that works to prevent or end violent conflict around the world. Speaking on the subject of Jihad, a topic which is misunderstood in the West, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri unhesitatingly declared that the concept of Jihad offers guarantee for the establishment of global peace and a welfare-oriented commonwealth of nations.

Shaykh-ul-Islam speaks at Georgetown University in Washington 2010

The Centre for Muslim – Christian Understanding was founded in 1993 by an agreement between the Foundation pour L’Entente entre Chretians et Musulmans, Geneva and Georgetown University to build stronger bridges of understanding between the Muslim World and the West as well as between Islam and Christianity.

Prof John Esposito introduced Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri and invited him to speak to an audience which included US-government officials, cadets from the US Army, Navy and Air Force as well as academicians, policy makers and representatives of various organisations and agencies. Former Director of Operations of World Bank, Mr Ziad Alahdad was also present.

Shaykh-ul-Islam’s speech left no doubt on any point he made. He entertained various questions in the Q&A session which clarified many concepts. In the end Prof John Esposito thanked Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri for speaking in Washington and was very pleased with the lecture.

World Economic Forum – January 2011

The World Economic Forum is an international organisation committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, state, political, academic and world leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri told the audience at the annual meeting in Davos that terrorism has adversely impacted the economies of the developed and developing countries. Hence the urgent need of eradicating poverty around the world.

Dr Qadri told the audience that he recently issued a 572-page Fatwa (judgement) which completely dismantles violent ideology by setting out a point by point theological rebuttal of every argument. The fatwa gained international awareness which resulted in workshops taking place in universities, colleges across Europe and North America in how to tackle terrorism and its root problems.

Shaykh-ul-Islam at U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Washington DC

The founder of Minhaj Welfare Foundation attended the three day summit at the US World Islamic Forum in Washington D.C. Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri met with the Secretary General of the OIC, Professor Ekemeleddin Ihsanglou. They spoke about various issues on mutual interest and exchanged views of a host of issues. Dr Qadri spoke in great detail about the recently authored 572 page book on ‘Fatwa’ which tackles and combats terrorism comprehensively.

Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, addressed key governmental and religious leaders on the following:

• Treatment of minorities• Integration and identity • The impact of media and politics• Security and counter terrorism• Fatwa on Terrorism

Minhaj Welfare Foundation - A wider look at our work

“Even though it might take decades, with a focus on health and education and by improving household and community livelihoods, Minhaj Welfare Foundation will continue to provide long-term support for this crippled nation”.

A wider look at our work

Pakistan Floods 2010 - RememberedPakistan has shown resilience in the face of political instability, grinding poverty and natural disasters, which have plagued this nation since a long time. On July, 2010 torrential rain devastated the people across Pakistan from the Northern Valley of Nowshera to the Southern regions of Pakistan.

More than 20 million people were affected and over 800,000homesdestroyedbythefloodsandlandslides.The disaster was greater than Tsunami and Haiti combined.Thefloodsawtheemergingofwater-bornediseases making it a threat to survivors.

A TRUE HUMANTARIAN

Minhaj Welfare Foundation with the help of more than 10,000 volunteers in Pakistan was the first INGO on the ground in responding to the devastating floods which had wiped out major areas of Pakistan.

The founder of Minhaj Welfare Foundation addressed the nation in an historic address to the Pakistan nation and to the rest of the world:

“All efforts should be made in supporting the flood victims. Volunteers and supporters of MWF should spend their time with the effectees. Your Eid celebration should be spent with them. I am announcing the cancellation of the annual spiritual gathering (in which hundred’s of thousands of people from across Pakistan attend) and I am announcing that all efforts will be diverted towards the Flood Appeal.”

FIRST ON THE GROUND: Emergency Disaster Relief

Minhaj Welfare Foundation immediately began its relief and rescue service on 26th July 2010 in Nowshera and Akora Khataq. It was reported that these two areas were worse affected at the start, the floods then hit Southern regions of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan.

The second phase of relief efforts was to provide basic essentials such as food, clean water, clothing, medicine and shelter. MWF established 21 tent settlements and 28 relief camps throughout the affected areas in Pakistan assisting a ground breaking number of 11,825 families.

Unique and extraordinary efforts of over 9500 volunteers ensured that 339 truck loads of basic essentials reached affected areas continuously for four months and more than 4050 volunteers set up 432 collection camps.

The floods affected millions of people medically; MWF established 125 medical camps and provided medical assistance to over 70,000 people. ‘Dr Pervaiz Medical Establishment’ provided 500 medical experts to assist in the flood affected regions and it also set up medical dispensaries and ambulances in over 10 affected areas.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation provided 3700 families with two months ration. It provided daily cooked food throughout the Islamic month of Ramadhan, with more than 15,000 volunteers of MWF in Pakistan spending their Ramadhan and Eid with the flood victims.

Orphan Care Home

“aghosh”would you....Sponsor an Orphan?

500 Orphans in waiting, 500 Children in anticipation for a helping hand, 500 Children to bring change to their society, 500 Children to be provided a prosperous future, 500 Children to be provided a better opportunity, 500 Children in Waiting.

The harsh reality of the world that we live in are as such that children are:

• left displaced from the disasters of civil war and natural disasters

• working at the age of 5 or 6 years earning less than 2 dollars a month

• afraid of what is going to happen to them tomorrow

• tortured into child labour without any choice

• waiting for a helping hand

• looking towards a better future

The much anticipated project in the history of the welfare sector, a unique Orphan Care Home which will provide more than 500 children affected from the Pakistan Floods a home for the next 15 years is set to be complete in August 2011.

Aghosh is one of the most prominent and sustainable programs of Minhaj Welfare Foundation. This is one of the largest Orphanages in Pakistan which will be used as a safe abode and pivotal point for a better education.

Would you.... support this project?

• The Orphan Care Home will house and accommodate 500 children

• The children will have the best education; primary, secondary, collegeanduniversity(Itwillfulfilthe requirements of their country)

• A lot of work has been done in completing this project and most importantly in ensuring the safety of the children.

• Continuous reward which will continue till your grave.

• Independent review has shown that this project will be the most productive over the long term.

Hope for a Child

500


The Progress since the past two years

This project began with a pilot scheme that was to cater for just 50 Orphans, further plans to extend this into a more comprehensive project with the aim of including the following:

1. A home like environment (of a middleclass family) which will be different to any other project.

2. These are our children, this is our responsibility. We want to provide the donors an opportunity of treating these children as their own.

3. Excellent standard of education from primary all the way till University.

4. Excellent standard of living including; food, accommodation, study time, outdooractivitiesandefficienthealthcare.

5. 24 hour around the clock care, YOU KNOW THEY ARE SAFE.

WHAT’S THE PLAN

Through MWF’s large network of volunteers and branch offices we have set up a team to ensure a fair policy is set in place for the selection of children.

Each sub branch within Pakistan will begin a thorough assessment of finding the children:

1. The children must be an Orphan

2. The child must have a relative/guardian in case of any such incidence.

3. Orphans beginning age is 7 – 8 years old.

“AGHOSH” will officially open in August 2011, enrolment of children will begin immediately. And hopefully by the year 2013, we are hoping to see the full 500 children in the Aghosh building.

Mass Education - 639 Educational Institutes, & growing

Donate £100Towards education program

Everyone has a right: to a Better Education

With hundreds of thousands of children deprived of basic education, Minhaj Welfare Foundation is providing essential educational equipment and materials to re-establish learning and recreational activities, create safe environments, and help restore a sense of normality.

During the Pakistan Floods 2010, some of the educational institutes were destroyed and many more were damaged. MWF is now rebuilding its educational institutes to ensure children from impoverished areas are educated.

MWF is also providing temporary learning spaces for children, whose schools were completely destroyed in the Pakistan fl oods.

“MWF is working to establish safe areas and to supply educational material for children across Pakistan,” said Mr. Dawood Mash’hadi. “The return to school provides an important opportunity for under privileged children to interact, play, rebuild their routines, and provide them a more successful future.”

Since 1994, MWF has initiated vast educational programs it has provided necessary school material to children from poor backgrounds that had no access to education before, this has included items such as exercise books, pens and pencils, to cater for more than 150,000 school-aged children. In addition, MWF provided scholarship to more than 2,777 children, they were provided with accommodation, food, educational material for their academic classes.

MWF is raising awareness of its mass education program across South Asia and it is one of the main programs linked towards it’s ‘help us create a safer world’ campaign. The children are taught both secular and religious studies.

Minhaj Education Society, the education sector of MWF announced over 150,000 children attend schools, including 630 model schools, 08 IT Colleges and 1 chartered university.

Everyone has a right: to a Better Health

care. Sad stories of women losing their children at birth due to inadequate facilities on hand and people waiting

hours for an ambulance are all too common.

MWF hopes to improve and strengthen its health system and aims to develop the capacity of low-income

countries to deliver high-quality healthcare equally within communities of poor and impoverished backgrounds.

MWF holds various free health camps across South Asia, it provides young and old with free medicine and carries out various check ups through a strong team of

medical experts.

MWF has launched various health programs across South Asia focusing on the following:

Disasters - North Africa & Japan DISASTERS OF TWO KINDS

Japan Tsunami and the aftermathof the North Africa Crisis

In our experience in international development we have never come across an emergency on such an overwhelming scale as that facing the millions of people in Japan. The images relayed on various TV channels around the world were shocking however they did not show the extent to which lives and livelihoods were wrecked by this emergency.

Due to the enormous impact of the tsunami in Japan and ongoing crisis in North Africa and Libya, Minhaj Welfare Foundation initiated an emergency appeal to help raise funds and save more lives. The death toll in the Japan disaster had risen into 100’s and more than 450,000 had to leave their homes. The ongoing crisis in North Africa had seen more than 110,000 displaced from their own homes.

MWF on the ground in Japan and North Africa

MWF volunteers reached the affected areas in Japan. In the past we have accomplished a great deal but major challenges still lie ahead.

Thank you for Your donations

Every penny is vital especially in circumstance faced by the people in Japan and North Africa; in North Africa affectees were provided basic essentials such as water, food, medicine. In Japan MWF provided cash donations and volunteer help is important to rebuild the lives of millions displaced from their homes. Just by simply donating a small amount it bought about a big change, it may have seemed a simple thing to provide but it is something that will help the people in Japan and North Africa.

This will help to reduce the spread of waterborne diseases and stop children from trekking daily to collect water. Most importantly the children will be able to obtain a better education.

We also work with community members to promote and educate locals on clean environment and how to prevent waterborne diseases. The full cost of a water well is approximately to £1700.

Education provides the highest return for any social investment in the third and developing world. Through this unique education program, donors can help build or rebuild schools, classrooms, provide furniture, uniforms and contribute to the teachers salaries.

“There are so many kids in a classroom and not enough teachers, if only these kids could get the opportunity that we got at school”. (Adnan Sohail, Project Manager recently visited a school in Kenya)About 121 million children of primary school age are not in schoolTo build one simple classroom. It only cost’s £1500

“We could prevent the lost of life in this small village if we had a medical centre.”

Unfortunate circumstances have meant that when someone falls extremely ill, the people of Kitere, Kenya would have to travel 150 km to the nearest hospital. The village is about 10km away from the main road and in most cases, the majority number of patients do not manage to reach the referral centres. Loss of life, patients dying due to lack of fi nances to reach the referral facilities or time taken to reach such services can easily be managed.

Donors who will contribute towards the Medical Centre will provide 2 medical rooms, a medical store, laboratory, pharmacy and reception area. The total cost towards the medical centre is £20,000.

‘Your Village, Your Home’ sustainable program targets marginalised parents, providing them with resources to generate source of income, increase their earnings and most importantly provide them with provisions to feed their children.

Maize and banana are the main food crops grown while mango’s form the cash crops. However due to unreliable rainfall and high cost of agriculture, this undermines the growth of the sector.

You can contribute towards resources for the farmers which can help them purchase material for harvesting the crops.You can contribute £365 towards the full harvest in the year

RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITYwww.mwfuk.org/challenges



Supporting the ProjectWater everywhere, not a drop to drink

A fundraising event in Derby raised money for the victims of the Pakistan fl oods. A dinner and charity auction at the Heritage Hotel in Derby’s city centre was arranged in December 2010. 100’s of participants attended the event.

Organisers from a local voluntary group, Refl ection Project in conjunction with Minhaj Welfare Foundation helped to raise funds for the rehabilitation work in the fl ood affected areas..

Amer Saleem from the Refl ection Project said the dinner was the fi rst of its type organised by the volunteers in Derby to raise money for the Pakistan fl ood victims. He said the event was open to the public but most importantly saw “an excellent response” from Derby’s Pakistani community.

ReflectionProjectvisitsMWFNowsherasiteRebuilding Lives

Amer Saleem of Refl ection Project visited MWF rehabilitation sites in Nowshera to see the progress of the ‘Rebuilding home’ project of Minhaj Welfare Foundation.

The visit was in response to an amazing fundraising dinner event which took place in December 2010 in Derby organised by the Refl ection Project in coordination with Minhaj Welfare Foundation UK & Europe.

Amer represented Refl ection Project and the Derby community to see how their money was being spent in light of the generous donations of the donors. He commented that MWF not only has attained credibility and accountability in the UK has a formidable NGO however this accountability is affi rmative throughout the world. He was overwhelmed with the progress of MWF’s work in rebuilding homes for the fl ood affectees.

Rebuilding Lives: An Evening of Mercy

A fundraising event in Sheffi eld raised money for the Orphans of the Pakistan fl oods 2010. Inspirational talks and Nasheeds at the Hilton Hotel in Sheffi eld’s city centre were arranged on a very merciful like Sunday 20th March 2011. More than 250 people were at Sunday’s event in Sheffi eld.

The event raised funds for the Aghosh project, a unique orphanage project which will house more than 500 Orphans affected by the fl oods.

Adnan Sohail from Minhaj Welfare Foundation told the audience that Minhaj Welfare Foundation has very unique ambitions and have changed the ethos of charitable work:

“MWF’s focus primarily is on self sustainability, it is not a charity for the sake of charity.”

Tahseen Khalid, President of Muslim Youth League said the fundraising event was the fi rst of its kind organised by the volunteers in Sheffi eld to raise money for the Orphans affected by the Pakistan fl ood victims. He said the event was open to the public but most importantly saw “an excellent response” from a very young audience.

From the Great Wall of China to the Trek of Mount Kilimanjaro 2011

Minhaj Welfare Foundation took a group of daring trekkers to China to trek the Great Wall in September 2010. The trek was to raise money for the Orphans of the “AGHOSH” Project; a unique Orphan Care Home for 500 Orphans. Our trekkers walked along various aspects of the wall over 7 days and raised a substantial amount for the Project.

MWF Challenges returns with another daring challenge to Mount Kilimanjaro; Africa’s highest mountain and to raise money for the Orphans affected by torrential monsoons which hit Pakistan in June 2010. The trek which will run between

Fundraising Event to Support SMA Research in UK

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common genetic causes of death in childhood. SMA is due to premature degeneration of motor neurons resulting in progressive paralysis and death. Almost 50% of children affected die by the age of 2 years. Currently there is no cure for this devastating disease.

It was due to the concern of a parent whose 4 year old son has been suffering from SMA type 3 and it is as what as a family they were going through that they became heavily involved in raising funds for the research of Professor Mimoun Azzouz and his team are doing in fi nding a cure.

A fundraising event organised in Rotherham supported by Minhaj Welfare Foundation raised funds towards ‘The Sheffi eld Institute Foundation’s SMA Research’. This event offered hope for the future for families affected by SMA and genetic disorder.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation supports projects and initiatives such as this across the UK.
