FRIENDS OF KAGANDO 

The Charity works towards the relief of poverty and distress, in particular but not restricted to financial and material support for Kagando Hospital and the surrounding rural community in Kasese District in Uganda.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
