AFRICAN VILLAGE SUPPORT

Our aim is to help improve the quality of life of both adults and children in rural Uganda. Working as a humanitarian, community based organisation, we have delivered a number of sustainable community projects including building a school hostel for girls, a large community centre and supporting women's groups and educating students through sponsors, along with livelihood projects for young people.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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 recently
