RAHAB PROJECT

Pastoral care and practical support to women affected by prostitution and human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Founded in 2009 under the leadership of Sisters Adoratrices, the charity is a continued expression of the Sisters' unique charism & apostolic mission, which is over 150 years old with currently 153 social projects in 23 countries supporting over 11,000 women annually.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
