WOMEN FOR WOMEN INTERNATIONAL (UK)

In countries affected by conflict and war, Women for Women International supports the most marginalised women to earn and save money, improve health and well-being, influence decisions in their home and community, and connect to networks for support. By utilising skills, knowledge, and resources, they are able to create sustainable change for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
