WOMEN IN NEED 

For the benefit of women worldwide who are socially and/or economically disadvantaged. We currently work in India with women who have HIV/Aids TB, mental illness or who are abused abandoned, raped and are sick or injured. We provide medical and social care. We encourage and facilitate rehabilitation back to community & family, & independent earning/employment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely female

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
