POWER FOR THE PEOPLE

Design and delivery of sustainable projects that tackle the root causes of poverty in remote, rural communities by enabling better health, education and economic activity, powered by a backbone of innovation and clean technologies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
