ORU PAANAI 

ORU PAANAI FUNDS 391 SCHOOLS IN NORTH SRI LANKA TO PROVIDE A MID DAY MEAL FOR OVER 43,000 CHILDREN. THE SCHOOL PREPARES A MEAL OF RICE AND VEGETABLES FOR ITS STUDENTS. THE RICE AND LENTILS ARE PROVIDED BY THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME. THE HELP WE GIVE ENABLES THE SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE A WHOLESOME AND PALATABLE RICE MEAL TO THE CHILDREN WHO LARGELY COME FROM HOMES LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
