THE BILLION CHILD FOUNDATION 

The goal of The Billion Child Foundation is to enable a billion children to gain a quality education over the next decade by upgrading the performance of underperforming schools and conducting national parenting skills programmes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
