BALA CHILDREN'S CENTRE KENYA

The charity engages in 2 activities: 1) raising funds within the UK and 2) creating businesses in Western Kenya that will allow the Children?s Centre to become sustainable for its day-to-day running costs. The centre cares for around 300 orphans and needy children, providing primary and secondary education. The children live on site or with extended local family groups and are fed and cared for.

Analysis by Giving is Great

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
Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
