Founders Statement
It is with great satisfaction that I am able
to report that Minhaj Welfare Foundation
(MWF) has continued to successfully fulfil
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 MWFs major achievements over the
last year was responding to the 2010 floods
in Pakistan, commented by many as one of
the worlds worst disasters of recent years.
A truly monumental effort by MWF helped to
raise over 1 million to go directly to those
afflicted 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 benefit 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.

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


Building a healthy

the framework of a house.
Each pillar provides
crucial support, without
which the whole thing
would eventually crumble.

to eradicate poverty stems
from many reasons and one
of them is lack of education.
During 2010 2011, Dr
Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

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


The United States of Institute was created by Congress as a
nonpartisan, 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.

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

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 LEntente 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.

Dr Qadri standing side by side with the Indonesian President,


Mr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono

Shaykh-ul-Islams 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 572page 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.

Members from the U.S Navy attentively listen to


Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri in Washington

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 and mercy and dignity.

facilities. It means making change sustainable so that they

Pakistan Floods 2010 - Remembered


Pakistan 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
800,000 homes destroyed by the floods and landslides.
The disaster was greater than Tsunami and Haiti
combined. The flood saw the emerging of water-borne
diseases making it a threat to survivors.

Ramadhan to thousands of people in Minhaj tent settlements.

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 hundreds of thousands of
people from across Pakistan attend) and I am announcing
that all efforts will be diverted towards the Flood Appeal.

MWF begins rebuilding homes of the flood affectees.

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.

500
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,
college and university (It will fulfi l
the 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.

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,
outdoor activities and efficient health
care.
5. 24 hour around the clock care,
YOU KNOW THEY ARE SAFE.
WHATS THE PLAN
Through MWFs 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.

WHAT YOU WILL GET

Health Projects - 109 Medical Dispensaries


Everyone has a right: to a Better Health

poor backgrounds have an equal right to a decent 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.

Disasters - North Africa & Japan


DISASTERS OF TWO KINDS
Japan Tsunami and the aftermath
of 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 100s 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.

water

Minhaj Welfare Foundation believes that water is a basic human right which should be provided to all and it is not
just a luxury.
The water and sanitation element of Your Village, Your Home will help provide communities in need with localised
clean water sources and sanitation facilities. 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.

donate
towards

education

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 school

healthcare

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 finances 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.

donate
towards
sustainable living

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 mangos 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

Supporting the Project


Water everywhere, not a drop to drink
A fundraising event in Derby raised money for the victims of the
Pakistan floods. A dinner and charity auction at the Heritage
Hotel in Derbys city centre was arranged in December 2010.
100s of participants attended the event.
Organisers from a local voluntary group, Reflection Project in
conjunction with Minhaj Welfare Foundation helped to raise
funds for the rehabilitation work in the flood affected areas..
Amer Saleem from the Reflection Project said the dinner was
the first of its type organised by the volunteers in Derby to
raise money for the Pakistan flood victims. He said the event
was open to the public but most importantly saw an excellent
response from Derbys Pakistani community.

Rebuilding Lives: An Evening of Mercy


A fundraising event in Sheffield raised money for the Orphans
of the Pakistan floods 2010. Inspirational talks and Nasheeds
at the Hilton Hotel in Sheffields city centre were arranged on
a very merciful like Sunday 20th March 2011. More than 250
people were at Sundays event in Sheffield.
The event raised funds for the Aghosh project, a unique
orphanage project which will house more than 500 Orphans
affected by the floods.
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:

Rebuilding Lives
Amer Saleem of Reflection Project visited MWF rehabilitation
sites in Nowshera to see the progress of the Rebuilding home
project of Minhaj Welfare Foundation.

MWFs 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 first of its kind organised by the
volunteers in Sheffield to raise money for the Orphans affected
by the Pakistan flood victims. He said the event was open to
the public but most importantly saw an excellent response
from a very young audience.

The visit was in response to an amazing fundraising dinner


event which took place in December 2010 in Derby organised
by the Reflection Project in coordination with Minhaj Welfare
Foundation UK & Europe.
Amer represented Reflection 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 affirmative
throughout the world. He was overwhelmed with the progress
of MWFs work in rebuilding homes for the flood affectees.

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.

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 finding a cure.

A fundraising event organised in Rotherham supported by


Minhaj Welfare Foundation raised funds towards The Sheffield
Institute Foundations 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.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation would like to thank all


regional ofces who have helped and supported
projects in the developing world, Volunteers across
UK & Europe have played a vital role in ensuring
maximum donations reaches the poor and needy.
