THE KISUMU CHILDREN TRUST

The chief objects of the charity are to help relieve and alleviate child poverty and support families living in in the wider Kisumu community of Kenya, to advance the Christian religion and to promote and advance education and training.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
