We are partnering with Vision Link School to help provide the tools and supplies necessary to give these children nutrition, clothing, medical assistance, and an education. These children are beautiful people with happy, kind spirits who are always willing to share the little they have with others. Would you consider sharing a little of what you have with them? Our “little” goes a long way to ensuring that each child survives and thrives under the care of the staff at Vision Link School.
Ongoing Tangible Needs
Uniforms. One per child with additional monies for another 20 children. The cost for a complete uniform set including shirt, pants or dress, socks, and shoes is just under $30 USD. These uniforms serve as reminders to the community that these children are watched over by people who care. This is vital in a community where the vulnerable are often exploited and abused.
Clothing. We will be conducting clothing drives and taking gently used clothing and shoes over as we are able. Contact us if you are interested in donating or helping to sort and inventory.
General Operating Expenses. Our goal is to cover the cost of food for 2 1/2 meals per day for each child. Beyond that, we are hoping to provide a greater level of nutrition for each child.
Vaccinations. We need to immunize the children regularly.
Emergency fund. We are in the process of securing an emergency fund to cover unforeseen medical expenses, food fund shortages, and emergency costs.
Additional Land. There is property on all sides of the school that we are hoping to secure for additional dorms and classrooms.
Miscellaneous. Cooking needs (tables, stove, pans, spoons), mats for babies to sleep on, etc.
To contribute and assist our mission in any of these above mentioned areas, you can find out ways to give financially – by check, securely online, or through other means, on our Ways To Give page.
