FAITH IN ACTION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 

FIACD raises funds and provides grants for community development activities in disadvantaged communities, particularly in Uganda. It sponsors education of individuals, a sustainable year-round clean water source, health and sanitation education workshops and a nursery and primary school. Potential future activities may include primary health care and support for the local church.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
