    SARAH'S RURAL LIBRARY FUND 

    Sarah's Rural Library Fund raises money for The Rural Libraries organisation which operates in Northern Peru. This organisation provides books and library facilities based in people's homes for the rural communities of the high Andes in the state of Cajamarca. The money raised is for the expenses of the volunteer librarians, the administration of the organisation and the publication of books.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Spending is declining
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 12 years
