EXETER-ETHIOPIA LINK

Exeter-Ethiopia Link was set up in 1987 to promote a community link between the people of Exeter and the people of Nekemte, the principal town in the region of Wollega, Ethiopia. The charity supports projects related to health, water, education, the environment, women and disabled people in Nekemte and surrounding areas. It also provides information to the people of Exeter on life in Ethiopia.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
