BRICK CHILDREN SCHOOL (TIKATHALI) 

The charity operates in the Brick Fields around Kathmandu, Nepal and provides education and support services for children aged 4 to 14, of itinerant families. Provision is based at the original school site and now also at additional satellite facilities, including village schools in the Himalayan foothills from where the children come. Adult education is made available for parents.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
