THE SAVANNAH EDUCATION TRUST

The Trust aims to provide an education for some of Ghana's most needy children, through the provision of infant and primary schools, and associated feeding and teacher training programmes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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