SPONSORSHIP, DONATIONS AND SUPPORT ​

​
Volunteer contributions, sponsorship and support are vital for SWIWSCO’s sustainability and capacity to build a brighter future for each of the children and young people.

The Cost of Living:
The provision of food, accommodation, education, medical care and lifestyle for the children and young people at the SWIWSCO orphanage is reliant on charitable donations, a volunteer program and Pam and Collins' own resources. 
​This allows approximately $0.85 per child/young person per day for living expenses. ​​

A contribution of: 

$10 will purchase the monthly supply of brush/broom sweepers
$20 will purchase a monthly supply of sanitary products or cover the property maintenance costs including water access.
$50 will purchase a monthly supply of soap and detergents or the supply of water or the supply of electricity or purchase 40 pair of school socks.
$100 will purchase all 840 monthly breakfasts or the total monthly vegetable supply. 
$150 - $200 will purchase daily lunch for all or buy 20 pairs of school shoes or school bags
$250 will purchase 840 nutritious monthly dinners. 

Alternatively, sponsoring the living costs of an individual child or young person is $37 USD per month ($444 USD per annum)​

Educational Fees Sponsorship: 
The cost of good quality education is $800 – $1500 USD per annum.  Currently, the futures of 3 young people would benefit greatly with educational fees sponsorship. Two of these worthy young women are currently at Government-funded Lower Secondary Schools and the third will need to change to a Government-funded school in 2018 unless sponsorship is secured.

​Due to rapid enrolment numbers, Tanzania faces extreme overcrowding within its government-funded classrooms. The average government primary school classroom holds 66 pupils. In some areas of the country, there can be as many as 200 pupils in a single classroom.

Quality education can lift families and communities out of poverty and increase a country’s economic growth. Completing secondary education has been shown to strongly benefit individuals’ health, employment, and earnings throughout their lives. Secondary education, including technical and vocational training, can empower young people with soft skills needed for sustainable development, including citizenship and human rights, and ensure access to essential information to protect their health and well-being. For girls, safe and equal enrolment in secondary education can act as a powerful equalizer, ensuring all girls and boys access the same subjects, activities, and career choices.

​Wishlist Contributions:

The purchase of a 40 x 40 metre² block of land adjacent to the Children’s Village valued at $10,000 USD. The purchase of the land will enable a self-sufficient supply of some fresh vegetables and fruits for the children’ village. Benefits envisaged include, but are not limited to: recurrent cost reduction and potential income, increased nutrition, vocational experience, community partnerships.

​



The purchase of a 12-seater vehicle will add to capacity, passenger safety and comfort. At any one time there may be 20 people needing to be at school/work by 8.00am and/or picked up at the end of the day.  SWIWSCO currently owns a 6-seater vehicle. Some of the children and young people are required to walk long distances to and from school or a bus stop. They may leave home at 7.00am and not return until after 5.00pm

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
