WIND EMPOWERMENT

Wind Empowerment works to develop and implement small scale wind turbines as a rural electrification solution in the developing world. We work as an international network of academics, practitioners and small wind stakeholders to share knowledge and experiences in order to ensure our small wind projects are as sustainable and effective as possible.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
