Expenses and Costs
In May 2006, we started with 15 orphans,and through the years more have come to join us. Today, we are taking care of 35 children. We would like to increase the number of children we are taking care of when we have access to more funding.
Ways we try to reduce costs
We have been able to decrease the cost of food with the development of farming on our plot of land, such as maize, spinach and others vegetables. Theses vegetables are used solely for the orphans. To boost our income, we are selling water to the local community. This brings a yearly revenue of USD 1400.
Future Projects
In the near future we are planning to build a primary school for our children and the community at large.
The final school will have:
- 18 Classrooms
- 5 Administration Offices
- Assembly Hall / Dining room
- Staff quarters
- 10 Toilets
- 3 300M2
The cost of the complete project is around USD 625 000. We will build the school in stages. As soon as we have the money, we want to start building 7 of the classrooms.
The cost of these 7 classrooms is as follows:
Foundation: USD 8 807
Super structure: USD 5 132
Finishes: USD 4 622
Roof: USD 1 3 750
Labour: USD 6 464
Total: USD 38 775
