HOMES OF PROMISE 

Homes of Promise primarily care for street boys in Kampala, Uganda; through George's Place a transitional home for boys we support them into full time education and vocational training, reconciling them with their families. The new life skills enable these young people to make a positive contribution to society. We are a Christian organisation working with boys from different faiths/ backgrounds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
