THE FRIENDS OF KOTU SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL

Support for Kotu Senior Secondary School, The Gambia, through financing building developments and the provision of computers, books and other equipment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
