LIFEAID EMPOWERING ORPHANS AND WIDOWS

We offer support to orphans with tuition fees. Educate and support farmer in increasing their crop yield. Supply clothing to the homeless and encourage social cohesion in less economically developed countries. Currently in Ivory Coast we are helping with organic farming. We also support widows in setting up and running their own businesses.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
