Shalom Community Funding Scheme

Project Sub Goals

Beneficiaries

There are four different groups for this project categorised as follows:

Their age group ranges from 7 to 25. The home is intended to provide children with accommodation so that they get specialized personal care which is required to erase the picture they suffer of social neglect and social isolation. At the home there will be keen supervision given to the children and close monitoring of their health.

Literacy Training

The children will be provided with elementary literacy exposure like sign language for the deaf, Braile writing for the blind who will be then fixed in schools to receive academic preparation. The children will sing and play to refresh their brains in the home. A playground and playing centre for indoor games will be put in place to stimulate their brains.

Skill Training

Children, especially those who are slow at learning, will be taught skills through craft work. This is intended to enable them to learn an employable skill for a productive, self- reliant and successful life during adulthood. Provide social and self-help skills training

Staff Administration

The centre will operate with 20 fulltime staff members and medical personnel.

• Project director (full time) Responsible for hiring project staff, overseeing project development and operation, establishing and maintaining links with local and international organization.
• Administrator secretary (full time) Responsible for the day to day running of the centre, maintaining the structure and appearance of the centre, routine correspondence
• Care Assistants (12) carry out day to day activities at the centre and general hygiene of the home and children any other duties as assigned by the administrator.

• Accountant (1) responsible for accounting and audit accounts
• Doctor (part time) Responsible for medical check-up of children, treatment and referrals.
• Support Staff (3 full time) Responsible for caring for the children, cooking, security and transportation.

Sustainability:

The centre will depend on donor support for the starting years, as we carry out mini vocational training workshops for older children with their mothers most of whom, the husbands abandoned so trainings in candle making, tailoring and embroidery, bakery and cookery as the project director will be developing auxiliary projects such as farming to provide food for the home, poultry project and rearing of cows to provide milk for the children. These activities will be also income generating and hence forth foster sustainability of the home.

Working in partnerships with other organisations in terms of building links and seeking to learn from others to strengthen and improve skills. Working together with the community to provide services like volunteering, market for the hand made and crafts products made by shalom community. Sharing our skills with community by offering our services to them like car wash day, clean market day as means to publicise and create awareness to the community around us.
