    CHRISTIAN ACTION FOR INDIA

    Christian Action for India's vision is to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor through Christ-centred ideas and methods. CAFI is involved in a variety of projects in order to meet the dire needs of the poor and persecuted people of India. Partnering with a number of local mission organisations to distribute aid, CAFI has close relations with the local communities it is attempting to help.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
