ACTION FOR INGWAVUMA

AFI supports an impoverished community in South Africa where 40% of the people are HIV positive. We fund community gardens, water tanks, boreholes, food supplements, new vehicles, orphans, key workers, a women's self-help group etc. AFI workers in the UK are volunteers, all money raised goes directly to Ingwavuma. Trustees regularly visit Ingwavuma to ensure the money is correctly spent.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is completely female
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
Income has been volatile recently
