2011 DONATION WISH LIST

The Children of Sakila are being helped by your generous donations. Personal sponsorships of individual children help give them an education and the basic necessities of life. This list is a kind of "wish list" that enables you, as benefactors, to donate in very specific ways to assist the ongoing work in Sakila.

This list describes currently needed items to help build the infrastructure required to support the community in Sakila as a whole, and thus the children as well. If you feel a calling to donate a special item or funding for a specific one of these items, please contact us via the donation form at this link, and specify which needs interest you. Thank you for your support.

GENERAL NEEDS/PRIMARY SCHOOL

1. $60-$130 The families haven't even had a chance to recover from the 2009 drought. Now they're faced with another. We would like to buy food before the price goes through the roof. Needs: 500 bags of corn@$60/bag and 160 bags of beans@$130/bag. Each bag is 200 lbs. If you wish to make this a gift to friends or relatives we will send you, at your request, a donation card. Please allow a sufficient amount of time to get your gift card to you.
2. $17,000 Storage building for school supplies for both the Primary and Secondary schools
3. $40,000 Teacher's residence (one large building with a common meeting room but separate, livable space for male and female teachers.) Actual cost is unknown. This is just a guess-ti-mate.
4. $5,500 Finish restrooms for the teachers and staff
5. $4,500 Covered area with cement floors for teachers

SECONDARY SCHOOL (HIGH SCHOOL)

1. Funding for construction of new outbuildings on the newly acquired property. Construction will progress in phases, and the total amount needed is unknown at this time. Any amount of donation would be appreciated.
2. $40,000 One Secondary School Building containing three classrooms (5 buildings have been pledged)
3. Scholarships or partial scholarships for one or more students. Actual cost per student is $75 per month at this level. Our current sponsors are donating $30 per month and very few are able to give more. Supplemental funding is needed.
