ABOOKU 

Our first project is distributing a developmental reading scheme, designed to provide the children of the Gambia with readily accessible reading materials related to their own experiences and culture and building on the success of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education existing phonics teaching schemes in The Gambia.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
