IN ADDITION, IHSAN GENERAL HOSPITAL IN SIERRA LEONE AND IHSAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF GUINEA BUILDING PROJECTS RECEIVED THEIR BIGGEST FUNDING IN 2021. HOWEVER, LOOKING BACK AMONG THE SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2021 IS THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS. THE NUMBER OF IHSAN ALUMNI, INCLUDING ORPHANS, WHO ENTERED COLLEGE, AND THE NUMBER THAT WILL GRADUATE NEXT YEAR IS ONE OF GREATEST ACHIEMENT DURING THE YEAR. IHSAN ALSO EXPERIENCED GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF COUNTRIES IT WAS ABLE TO EXTEND ITS HELP TO.

GOALS FOR THE FUTUREIHSAN WILL SEEK THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT PROGRAMS, AND EXPAND THEM. THE FOCUS IS TO ENSURE THAT IHSAN HAS THE RESOURCES TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE IN WEST AFRICA AND CONTINUE IT MISSION TO IMPROVE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF WEST AFRICA AND BEYOND. NEXT YEAR GOLAS ARE TO REACH AS MANY OPHANS AS POSSIBLE, CONTINUE TO SEEK FUNDING TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTIONS OF IHSAN GENERAL HOSPITAL IN SIERRA LEONE AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF GUINEA WHILE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT ALL OF IHSAN PROGRAMS.

IN 2000, THE AMPUTEE CHILDREN RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDY IN LOCAL INSTITUTIONS.
