FAITH SCHOOL MICRO-FINANCE PROJECT

FAITH SCHOOL MICRO-FINANCE PROJECT

 

Thanx to Aline's input Tofauti on the move have decided to launch this entrepreneurship project as an alternative for sustaining the school and the kids themselves. This was further conceptualized by Christine Nyambura last Saturday and why not..So we will open a website for the school and bank account not forgeting a facebook page to help enhance this initiative.

 

Overview

Faith Homes Learning institution is a home come school for disadvantaged destitute street children and orphans.

Problem statement

The plight of poverty, unemployment and the general neglect of the government towards these kids has led to the ever rising population of illiterate citizens in the society. This can basically be attributed by their in-access to proper education and lack of empowerment, hence eventually being a societal hindrance.

Project Scope and Objectives

Besides offering supplementary voluntary basic teaching the institution has on-top of that also ventured more purposely and effectively in launching an entrepreneurship program where the kids are trained in making hand made artifacts and ornaments for later sale and thus financial sustainability.

Engagements by volunteers and interns.

Basically the volunteers will be in-charge of supervising this project. They will thus also teach and in the process learn various skills too i.e.

•  Entrepreneurship skills
• Saving and investment
•  sales and marketing skills
•  pitching proposals 
•   writing, communication and presentation skills

Project Deliverables

Clearly as you can see the purpose is to achieve self sustainability in these children by providing another channel where the children can enhance themselves further by this handicraft skill. The idea is to create a channel of these products and a ready demand for them to enhance their sale. Some of the  benefits actuated in this program are:-

1.      Self development and community development

2.      School sustainability

3.      Funding means for their education

4.      Build socially responsible citizens
