Annual Report 2019

The Annual Report 2019 is now available and gives a good general view of the activities of the past year.

All projects are running successfully. The number of professional skills graduates, tuition centers and Back-to-School sponsorships has been increased. Besides that, additional abused women were taken care of. After the devastating cyclone in May 2019, Usthi provided emergency aid to over 1,000 families and started rebuilding the damaged campus. Moreover, investigation and collaboration agreement for the Nepal project were established to be able to start the program in early 2020. We wish you an exciting read!

Usthi would like to thank all donors who made our commitment to children and youths possible. We are very grateful for your blessings and participation.

The Annual Report 2019 and the Financial Report are available online for download.
