OPEN ARMS MALAWI

Open Arms Malawi is a charity that funds the relief of children in need in Malawi suffering from hardship, distress by reason of their social and economic circumstances by the provision of accommodation, support, education and love from birth to adulthood.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
