SWAZILAND SCHOOLS PROJECTS

THE CHARITY ACHIEVES ITS OBJECTIVES IN FOUR WAYS:BY PAYING SCHOOL FEES FOR CHILDREN WHERE THEIR FAMILIES CANNOT AFFORD THE FEES;BY FUNDING BUILDING PROJECTS AT SCHOOLS;BY PROVIDING COMPUTERS, FABRIC AND OTHER TEACHING MATERIALS;BY ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERS TO VISIT ESWATINI AND WORK AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHARITY.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

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 recently
