PIPAL TREE

Pipal Tree is responding to three global crises that are impacting upon Nepal: The climate crisis, loss of biodiversity and soaring poverty and inequality.We see crisis as an opportunity and a challenge to respond quickly and ambitiously, with activities that span conservation, improving the lives of the poorest people (e.g. through health and education) and by developing new livelihoods.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
