Sheepcare community centre has been comitted to transforming lives of the less fortunate in the Soweto Slums-Nairobi, Kenya through provision of quality education to the needy children who would have not gotten opportunity to go to school due their family backgrounds, supply of clean water to the community to fight waterborne and hygiene related diseases in the society and also empowering the members of the society through trainings such as in Tailoring,Hairdressing, Carpentry and Cartering, so that they can be able to carter for their basic needs. These has helped us see a great change in the comunity.

One individual , though had the vision for what he desired for the society, could not by himself achieve all that the vision entailed, therefore their was need to bring on board other like-minded individuals to help carry out this task. Sheepcare community centre at the moment have a total of 50 staff members who have joined the institution over time to volunteer because they saw the need to help the community. Since they joned on a volunteer basis,we could frequently loose some of them who could quit to look for paying jobs to sort their basic needs, this has really affected the continuity of some of the projects as new who would come in, in many occassions did not catch up with tyhe vision of the former, inorder to solve this, the organization opted to giving monthy stipends to the staff to carter for their needs and to motivate them to continue with the work. Every month, we spend $5000 towards the payment of the stipends to the staff, which has caused a stretch on our budget and at times we delay paying the stipends.

We sincerely appreciate you for your continous support through the GlobalGiving platform, you have helpedus transform a life in the community, during the September little by little campaign we managed to get $5650 as matching funds which was used in subsidizing the staff stiepends for the months of November , December and January. You really relieved us of a huge burden and we are so grateful.

We continue to appeal to you to help us reach other people within your network to support us to ensure we smoothly pay the staff stipends to motivate them to continue transforming the community to avoid the delays and the arreas we have often experienced.

Thank you.

Blessings

Motivated Staff pillar of growth to an organization

By Joshua Omondi | Project Leader

A teacher motivating children

Sheepcare community centre has been committed to transforming lives in poor communites through provision of quality education, health, water ana sanitaion and feeding programme. This has caused potentials to children who would have left school complete secondary or university level and become responsible citizens. The key to this - MOTIVATE STAFF! We have a total of 51 volunteer staff who have come on board to help achieve this course.

Being that they have dedicated their time and talents to be part of this vision, there is a great need to give them some stipends at the end of the month to carter for their needs so that their families would not be affected by the fact that they gave themselves to this course, however this is not done at any predetermined rates and only based on the availability of funds, which we heavily really on donors and the GlobalGiving Campaigns.This has led to uncertainity to some of the staff who have always opted out in search of greener pastures. GlobalGiving Foundation has been of greater help to us, since through the campaigns we have been able to raise money to pay the staff occasionally.

On behalf of Sheepcare Community Centre, I take this opportunity to thank you for putting a smile on the face of our staff at least for the month October 2023. Through the September Little by Little GlobalGiving campaign we managed to clear some salary arrears and sustain the feeding program and enables girls to have some sanitary towel and inner clothes.

Our desire is that our supporters may commit something small every month because staffs need to be paid monthly. Already we have a committment of an average of $600 which will pay 5 staff. Imagine having ten (10) such donors per month, staff arrears would be a thing of the past and we will witness what a motivated staff can do! Our performance would improve and many pupils and Students would have a great future as they finish successfully and be responsible.
