SMILES TO TANZANIA CHARITY

We operate on the Island of Ukerewe, Tanzania. Our main activity is raising funds to purchase school uniforms, exercise books, pens and pencils to enable orphaned and disadvantaged children the opportunity to attend school and gain an education. We fund the purchase of Solar Lights for homes that do not have electricity. In addition we operate a health Fund to enable sick children to receive help

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
