ZAMBIA ORPHANS AID UK

Finances community-based projects in Zambia that help orphans of AIDS and other vulnerable children to fulfil their potential. Projects are selected and monitored by a sister organisation in Zambia, Zambia Orphans of Aids - Zambia. Overhead costs are kept to a minimum, while there is also a strong emphasis on aiming to move income generating projects to self-sufficiency.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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 and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
