LAAMIGA

Laamiga is a voluntary community organisation run by women for women who want to become financially independent and gain more meaningful employment. Laamiga's mentors work with mentees to help them improve their self-confidence and sense of wellbeing. In turn, mentors gain an understanding of women from different cultures and an opportunity for personal development.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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