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 modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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