AFRICAN REVIVAL

Our Vision is an Africa where every child has equal access to quality education. We do not just build infrastructure and provide livelihood and education projects; we empower whole communities - working with pupils, teachers and parents to transform schools into thriving learning environments that build better futures.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
