TIYENI FUND 

The Trustees' primary aim, or mission, is to replace the need for hand-outs of money, food and fertiliser in rural areas of Malawi by training farming communities in sustainable 'deep bed' cultivation and land management practices, thereby enabling them to achieve self-sufficiency (as a minimum).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
