MANGO TREE GOA
Our main objective is to break the cycle of poverty of disadvantaged children and young people in Goa through education, food, health & welfare. Our main projects are the Mango House and Learning Tree projects located at Mapusa. We support around 250 children daily mainly through registered formal pre-primary schools and afternoon tuition classes. We also provide meals, uniforms and school bags.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £21,592 at the end of the financial year, a figure the trustees consider justifiable given the charity's policy to protect against fluctuating income and contingencies. The charity operates entirely on a voluntary basis with no paid staff, resulting in low administrative costs relative to its charitable expenditure.
