THE KARTA INITIATIVE

As a social mobility movement for the "bottom billion", we aim to transform the life outcomes of impoverished high-potential young people in developing/emerging countries. We widen access to world-class educational and professional opportunity: engaging human, technology and financial capital, to dismantle barriers of exposure, information, infrastructure, skills, finance and social networks.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
