LATIN LINK

Our vision is to see vibrant, Bible-believing Christian communities in Latin America, impacting their neighbours, their societies and the wider world. We work in partnership with churches to send and receive individuals, families and teams to share the love of God by caring for street children, training church leaders, supporting university students and generating employment opportunities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
