    EAST AFRICAN EDUCATION FOUNDATION 

    Supporting and providing educational activities for ethnic minorities mainly but not exclusively from East African countries living in the London Boroughs of Newham, Barking & Dagenham, Tower Hamlets and Redbridge.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
