STAND BY ME

WE CARE FOR OVER 4,000 KIDS ACROSS THE WORLD BUT NO TWO ARE THE SAME, SO WE TAKE CARE TO UNDERSTAND AND MEET EACH OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, FROM FOOD AND HEALTHCARE, TO LOVING PARENTS AND QUALITY EDUCATION. WE HELP THEM REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET AND CHANGE THEIR FUTURES. WE HAVE TRANSFORMED THOUSANDS OF KIDS LIVES, AND WE ARE ONLY JUST GETTING STARTED.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
