ACTION VILLAGE INDIA

Action Village India is a small UK-based charity that is since 1989 supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods, and resilience. We work with local partners on projects supporting education, health, land rights, disability rights, women's rights and sustainable livelihoods.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
