REVIVE CONGO 

Revive Congo ensures the advancement of education for young people in the UK through delivering a summer programme to provide informal education on the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We also produce e-learning material to provide informal education on leadership and entrepreneurship skills for young people in the DRC to develop their capabilities and increase employability.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • 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
