HESHIMA 

A project based near Kisongo, Arusha, Tanzania. We have a textile centre providing training for local Maasai women so they can generate their own income. In addition there is a small nursery, and a classroom equipped with lap-tops providing support for local school children. A carpentry workshop is being built, which will provide training for local people, enhancing employment opportunities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
