Contribution for Operating Expenses

Many of our supporters have expressed an interest in contributing towards specific operational expenses so they have a better understanding of our costs and how their donations are being spent. We have created the following donation options and ask you to please consider donating an amount you can afford towards our operating expenses.

School Supplies

School Supplies (US $50). We provide basic supplies, paper, pencils, notebooks et al, for the children in our program. We also purchase textbooks for our use and the use of the children as schools generally only have 4 or 5 textbooks for each subject per classroom. $50 allows us to make local purchases to help fill these needs.

To make a donation for school supplies, please click here to open PayPal in a separate window.

Transportation

We have three categories of transportation expenses:

   1) Van Payment (US $500). A van is essential to pick-up and deliver home those children who walk the furthest. Many live as much 6 or 7 km from our facility and in the winter must walk home in the dark. Your donation of $500 pays one month of our van contract.

   2) Fuel (US $200). Your donation of $200 pays for approximately one month of fuel charges for our van.

   3) Driver (US $200). We must pay a driver to pick up and deliver our kids each day. The driver picks the kids up from school and delivers them to our facility for their snack and their lessons. After the programs end, the driver delivers the children to drop off points near their homes.

Classroom and Office Rental

Classroom and Office Rental (US $400). We rent a large classroom, a small classroom, an equipment storage room and an office. We also have access to a kitchen we use to prepare food for the kids each afternoon. Your donation of $400 pays our rent for one month.
