LET THE CHILDREN LIVE!

Let The Children Live! supports the work of Fundacion Vivan Los Ninos! (Funvini) with street-children and other needy children and young people in Colombia, mainly in the city of Medellin.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
