ACTION THIS DAY KENYA

Until the end of 2018, the charity funded three projects in Mombasa, Kenya - the Kookaburra Community School, Kookaburra House and the Kookaburra Graduate Programme (sponsoring primary school graduates through high school and high school graduates through university). Kookaburra House and the Kookaburra Community School are now closed and the Graduate Programme is gradually winding down.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very static

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
