EDUKID
In circumstances where children and young people cannot expect to receive an education (eg due to conflict, poverty, or similar conditions of distress) EDUKID provides funds and other resources to make this possible. Funding is primarily through sponsorship, which ensures continuity of schooling from year to year. It presently operates in Cambodia, Uganda and Peru.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that Edukid reported a deficit of £33,081 on unrestricted funds for the year ended 5 April 2025, leaving unrestricted reserves at £50,889. The trustees note that income was below target due to the cancellation of a Peru trip and reduced Department of Education funding, which has impacted reserves. Despite these challenges, the independent examiner confirmed that no material matters came to light and the accounts comply with applicable regulations.
