EnglishThe idea of founding an orphanage is, as you could read on this website, no longer our aim. We are now focusing on (financially) supporting the families with orphan children. This January Roosmarijn went toKenyato do some investigating for the foundation and its aims.
The following budget is set for the first starting period. +/- the first six months of the project
Project costs
Starting costs
– Motor bike (for staff inKenya) 70.000 kesh
– Flight ticket Roosmarijn 70.000 kesh
Totally 140.000 kesh
Child support
– Schoolfee 1200 kesh (+/- 400 kesh per periode, 3 periods a year)
– 2 times uniforms and books 3000 kesh
– Food 12.000 kesh (1000 kesh monthly)
– Savings for medical costs 2400 kesh (200 kesh monthly)
Totally per year 18.600 kesh
Totally per month 1550 kesh
Monthly costs
– Payment Kenyan employee 10.000 kesh
– Storage for food packages 10.000 kesh
– Supporting 10 families 15.500 kesh (1550 kesh per family)
– Other costs 10.000 kesh (petrol, repairs and transport)
Totally 45.500 kesh
110 kesh = €1,–
140.000 kesh = €1275,-
45.500 kesh = € 415,-
This leads to the conclusion that as starting budget we need at least € 1275,– and after that monthly we need € 415,–
The more money we raise with our donors, the more families we eventually can support. But first on, we will start small with supporting 10 families.
Besides the monthly fixed costs, we would like to generate extra money for special projects. Projects include establishing teaching classes or building water pumps for clean drinking water.
Would you like to make a difference in the future of the Kenyan children?
We have several options:
– Single donation
– Adoption/Donorship
– Organizing or supporting a fundraising event
