How much in Canadian or US dollars does it require to provide for one child at the ministry?
Asked by Fullof Questions in the group The Butiiki Children's Ministry ● Jinja, Uganda, Africa
What would be the required funding for each child at the ministry for food, clothing, shelter, school expenses, medical, etc for a one month period.
Hello Fullof Questions! Thank you for asking about the Butiiki orphans. I have been trying to find ways to help them for a few months now. Robert says the cost for one child would be $80.00. That is $30.00 for food and $50.00 for school. That is so little compared to what we spend on our kids in the US. I think this is a good place to help because Jinja is stable compared to other areas in Africa. There is an opportunity to really help these kids be successful. If they can survive and get educated then they will be able to grow up and lead others in creating a better country. We hope that eventually each child will have a sponsor. I have donated through the Western Union app directly to Robert. It's easy, but we are working on a better way to do the donations. When I have donated I recieved pictures and videos and thank you cards made by the kids. I am so excited about helping. I tried sending a box, but it was extremely expensive.
