KIDS FOR KIDS 

The Charity seeks the relief of children in Darfur, Sudan, who are in need, hardship or distress, working with local partners to provide integrated grassroots projects identified and run by the communities - water, goat and donkey loans, mosquito nets, blankets, healthcare for mothers and babies, veterinary care, education, livelihood techniques, agricultural and environmental projects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,528,628 available, equivalent to 92 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
