AMALA EDUCATION

Amala's mission is to use the power of education to transform the lives of refugees, their communities and the world. We develop high quality and inclusive education programmes aimed at out-of-school refugee and displaced youth.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
