MESERET FOR WOMEN 

Providing care and assistance to vulnerable women in Ethiopia to discourage abandonment of newborn babies and promote self worth and development of skills to enable these women to support themselves and their children.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
