KIDS ALIVE INTERNATIONAL 

Kids Alive International (called Hope for Kids until Sept 2021) works around the world to provide quality holistic care to orphans and vulnerable children. Our vision is a world where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We accomplish this by supporting Care Centres, Schools, Residential Care and Community Programmes operated by our US partner Kids Alive International.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
