THE PRIMARY OBJECT OF THE CHARITY IS THE RELIEF OF PAIN BY PROVISION OF EMERGENCY DENTAL SERVICES AND TRAINING IN EAST AFRICA. THIS PRIMARILY INVOLVES RAISING FUNDS FOR THE WORK CARRIED OUT BY OUR LOCAL NGO PARTNER EH4ALL AND BY ADMINISTRATING VOLUNTEER PROGRAMMES FOR DENTISTS AND OTHER VOLUNTEERS TO BE PART OF OUR TRAINING PROGRAMMES

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male

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
