Holiday Wishlist
THE CAMPAIGN:
This year's Holiday Wishlist Fund Drive is for an annual refurbishment of our All As One Academy (educating 260 children from the Center and surrounding community), as well as providing our junior and senior secondary students with school supplies, uniforms, and books. We also have needs for the Children’s Center and the 40 kids living onsite, for dinnerware, large cooking stoves, towels, sheets, mattresses, and beds. Help us give these beautiful children a wonderful place to learn, live and thrive!
OUR GOALS:
To raise $15,000 for the All As One Academy, to enhance their educational environment with 3 new classrooms, and $5,000 for the Children's Center, for essentials. Inflation is off the charts in Sierra Leone right now, but these costs are our best estimates at the moment...
• $25 will provide a child with a new pair of shoes.
• $40 will provide a school chair for an All As One student.
• $55 will provide a school desk for an All As One student.
• $80 will provide one child with new clothes AND shoes.
• $100 will provide a mattress or large food storage container.
• $300 will provide a small cooking stove or a classroom whiteboard.
• $500 will provide a large industrial cooking stove.
• $500 will allow us to repaint the Children's Center.
• $700 will provide new clothes for all the kids for Christmas.
• $1,000 will provide all new utensils and dinnerware.
• $5,000 will provide a new classroom for the Academy. (We need 3 new classrooms, in total.)
Any funds raised in excess of our $20,000 goal will be used for food, shelter, and education for the kids.
