Campaign
Description and its importance to us
LOTWIF
seeks to help build classrooms for nursery school at Kwademu village
which is in Mwanamwinga Location of Kilifi County in Kenya. Kwademu.
(demu means rag, worn out cloth which is not useful). The community
believe that nothing good can happen or come out of that area. The
only things they are used to is witchcraft, idolatry, drunkenness
etc and because of that there is no development in this place.
Beside that, there are no many committed Christians. By helping build
classrooms for the children we can change the people's mindsets that
nothing good can be done in this place. People hearts may be touched
and soften toward Christ.
Magnitude
of what contributors will help achieve
Through
your cherished contribution towards this worthy course, LOTWIF
will be able to build classrooms for the kids who currently study in
a shelter. At the moment the school has 75 pupils which are 4 classes
in one room of 8 by 9 meters. By building the classrooms, the
children will be able to study without any distraction and more focus
on their lessons.
Where
the funds are going to be used
We
would wish to raise $32,000 (USD) to build 4 classrooms. Cost of
putting up one classroom is around $8,000(USD) which includes
building, labor and transportation of the materials. The funds
received here will be exclusively used to build the classes and any
extra collections used to equip the classrooms for the school
beginners.
Unique
perks
All
contributors towards this project will be honored and their names
will be engraved in the class memorial plaque. All the records
how the money will be spent will be put in place and kept safe in
LOTWIF files for access. Thank you messages will be sent to
the contributors as a means of appreciation as we believe God is the
only one who can reward you adequately.
Where
the funds go in case we don’t reach the entire goal
The
ultimate achievement of this campaign is building 4 classrooms for
the nursery school learners of Light of the World Academy (LOTWA).
Any funds received towards this course will be used in building the
classrooms. Even if we may not be able to raise the whole amount, the
construction will still be started as we remain hopeful we will get
other sources of completing the project.
The
Impact
The
building of these classrooms will motivate the children to embrace
education, help them be self-reliant
in the world and help raise the literacy levels in this poor
community. These children come from poor backgrounds yet they have
ambitions of being resourceful to the world but these problems force
them to adopt the mindsets of being nothing, witchcraft and
alcoholism.
Risks
& Challenges
The
ambition of LOTWIF is to help build the classrooms for the
nursery school kids and having been registered in Kenya as an NGO,
its easy to win the confidence of the government, and being
established in the area, we easily won the confidence of the
residents.
However
the challenges we are facing is lack of funds and support. Yes we won
the confidence of some of residents but still there is a big
percentage of people who have mindsets of witchcraft. So we kindly
ask you also for a prayer in that area.
Please
find an attachment with plan of the classes.
