HOPE HEALTH ACTION

Our mission is to provide health and disability care to the world's most vulnerable, without discrimination. We work in Haiti, South Sudan, and Uganda to: build local capacity to provide quality, life-saving healthcare; provide dignity, independence and empowerment to people with disabilities; and respond to emergencies quickly and effectively to minimise the long-term implications of crisis.

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
