FRIENDS OF THE MOMBASA CHILDREN C.I.O. 

Fundraising and donations raised for a school in Freretown, Mombasa, Kenya. Primarily for education, feeding and medical care for the pupils at Unity school in Freretown.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
