A GLIMMER OF HOPE UK

Empowering rural Ethiopian communities to end the cycle of extreme poverty through access to clean water, education, health care and microfinance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
  • This charity appears to be dormant
