MOBILE EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS

Supporting and providing education in the displaced communities on the Thai/Burma border.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
