BRIGHT FUTURES FOR AFRICAN CHILDREN 

Provision of educational supplies to children in West African CountriesErection of school building to enhance the advancement of education in Africa
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 very static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
