ISLINGTON MANAGUA FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION

We support a nursery and primary school called 'Los Pollitos' situated in barrio Edguard Munguia, Managua, Nicaragua. The school currently has approximately 220 pupils. We pay the core salaries of 7 teachers. We have recently paid for the construction of a new building to house a library, office and computer room. We raise funds through a 'sponsor a teacher' scheme and pub quizzes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
