THE AFGHAN CHILDREN'S TRUST 

The Trustees have maintained an active interest in the progress and expansion of Shamsa Children's Village in Kabul
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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