CHILDREN WITH CANCER IN MALAWI 

Our initial aim was to help treatment of children and adolescents with cancer in Malawi by supporting purchase of vital chemotherapy and funding the employment of a new nurse(s). We have helped purchase medical equipment and provide funds to improve facilities for patients and families. Travel grants for trustees (2) to provide expert specialist teaching and mentoring of staff have been funded.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
