REDTRIBE
Redtribe is established by and for the Maasai communities of southern Kenya. We are about creating a sustainable partnership between various parties around the world and the Maasai to initiate community-based projects that equip, educate and empower the local people. We seek to run all of our activities in an environmentally and culturally sensitive way.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that RedTribe ended the financial year with total funds of £146,491, an increase from £110,302 the previous year. The charity's reserves policy is to hold six months' operational costs in reserve, and the current unrestricted funds of £85,157 appear to meet this guideline based on the reported expenditure levels. The independent examiner confirmed that no material matters were identified that would cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
