MOTIVATE VOLUNTEER STAFF TO HELP A CHILD

Being a non-profit organization our sustainability is geared towards ensuring the staff is well compensated to avoid looking for the greener pasture and also making sure that the feeding program though very expensive continues since this is a great incentive for the learners to complete schooling.

We will continue to thank you for your commitment and giving consistently to our needs.  Our budget for every month to pay the staff is $5,000 which is an average of $95, something that is low in comparison to other staff working in other private or public organizations. Of this budget already one donor gives $500 every month. Our local income meets about $2,000 hence we still have a deficit of US$2,500 if we are to pay our staff consistently at this rate.

With this report, we trust that you can also commit yourself monthly. If we get 5 more people giving U$500 more we will be able to meet our staff budget and it will be a leap forward to seeing more children complete school and a motivated staff ready to do their best.

What you have done has caused great impact as follows:

1. Since January up to now we have managed to pay staff without any arrears.
2. Staff retention have been noticed for only few have left for greener pastures as compared to other years.
3. We can say we have fully recovered from the COVID-19 effects which almost made us close down.
4. We also cleared the past staff arrears which had been acruing since 2020 due to mostly COVID-19 effects.

We beseech you that Giving Tuesday is on November 29th, 2022 and GlobalGiving has offered US$1,200,000 which will be distributed proportionally according to how much donation per orgainization. Help us get a portion of this by your generous donation during this one day global fundraising dubbed GIVING TUESDAY worldwide. Hoping to see your generous contribution on 29th November 2022 or get your monthly commitmemt to ensure our staff are motivated. You can use my personal email: jakoywa@gmail.com for further inquiries.

Sincerely Grateful,

Luke Jakoywa.

Among our four projects with GlobalGiving three are about a child; Feed a child to stay in school, Help Girls to complete school and rebuild a dilapidated school. Without staff no child would be kept in school, no girl would complete her education and even with the permanent building no child would be able to learn and enjoy the environment if there are no staff to teach them.

It is on this premise that we cannot make a great school with the demotivated staff who are not only poorly paid but sometimes miss their pay completely. We want to thank one of our committed donors who support five(5) of our staff every month. In both projects within Kisumu and Nairobi Counties we have fifty three (53) staff.  

Our appeal is to ask you to help us pay more staff as our income have seriously also gone down. In our country every electioneering period makes almost all commodities escalates in prices particulalrly food item. Since we do feeding as a matter of priority, our local resources cannot meet half of staff payment. 

It is due to such factors that we continue to thank you and appeal that you do not relent in sacrificing but also ask you to be our ambassador to help give hope to the needy child and provide them with quality education.
