SEDCU

SEDCU has been established to support the education of disadvantaged children in Uganda. The children may be disabled, orphaned, homeless or living in extreme poverty. The charity is focusing on sponsorship of children and funding relevant projects at two nursery/primary schools in South West Uganda but it also supports older children at secondary schools and in tertiary education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
