KHANDEL LIGHT

Khandel Light was founded by Dr Peter Gough in 2000 after a visit to India. The charity works with Nirman Sanstha NGO in Khandel, Rajasthan, India to help the poorest families in this and surrounding villages with relief from drought, poverty, sickness, illiteracy and distress. In addition it helps to promote advancement in education and health education in this region of rural deprivation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
