CHAFFINCH

Chaffinch raises money and material support for children and young people in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya. These are used for food, shelter, education, medical care and other related expenses by locally run projects and enterprises who care for youngsters who are orphaned, abandoned or from very poor families. In one of the poorest places on the planet they are loved and cared for.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
