THE CECILY EASTWOOD ZAMBIAN AIDS ORPHANS APPEAL

Cecily's Fund supports orphans and vulnerable children access education to help lift themselves out of poverty. Our key activities include enabling orphans and vulnerable children go to school; supporting children to succeed at school; strengthening community support for children's education; preparing for life after school through entrepreneurship and training.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 26 years

Many orphans, especially girls, don’t finish basic education or go to high school. This project trains committees to identify 14-16 year-olds not in school and those who may drop out. Some of the vulnerable young people work with the committees to set up clubs that provide business skills, homework help, drama and sports activities. Together, they lobby for better government services. The neediest families get help with school fees, materials and are supported to develop initiatives for them to earn money. As a result and with the support of parents and the wider community more young people finish school. They and their families have more chance of work.
