FORWARD AFRICA EDUCATION TRUST 

We educate disadvantaged children in Rwanda with a bias towards girls. The children are orphans or from mother-led families. Our programmes enable under-resourced children to complete their secondary school education. We organise workshops covering conflict resolution, mental health awareness, and employability skills. Our mentorship programme empowers our students along their chosen path.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
