MOTIVATE VOLUNTEER STAFF TO HELP A CHILD

For about 20 years now, we have tried to keep qualified staff but our difficulty in paying salaries have seen some staff prefering to look for the greener pasture despite the fact that they desire too to give hope to the less fortunate. We have a desire to be one of the best organization providing quality education and transforming poor communities to realize their full potential.

This is to thank you that because of your support, we managed to pay our staff for the entire year 2022 without any delay. In fact we took a step of faith to appraise their slary for the year 2023 to US$6,000 up from about US$5,000 we have paid for over 4 years.

We are laying strategy with aspecific target and active partcipation in at least two GlobalGiving fundraising every year. Our majir target apart from the children will be staff retention. We will soon share with you our plans for the forth coming Little by Little campaign starting on 3rd-7th April 2023.

We still appeal for consistent monthly givers to help us totally solved this remuneration problems. If we get  six (6) more people giving U$600, we will be able to meet the deficit budget since the rest can be generated from our local income generating projects.

The results of motivating our staff will cause the following impact:

1. Our academic standards will improve and thus;
2. More learners will join the universties and colleges.
3. Standard of living will improve.
4. More people whom we have helped will come back and make even more great impact in the community.
5. Will attracts other good staff which will results in great academic excellence which will even attract local donors to sponsor the needy children.
6. Our activities will be exposed to more people thus growth and sustaainability will be achieved.

Thank you for your great sacrifice over the years yet more is still needed to get greater impact.

Greet for us your family, friends and your network. Be our ambassador to let the world know about Sheepcare Community Centre.

Being a non-profit organization our sustainability is geared towards ensuring the staff is well compensated to avoid looking for the greener pasture and also making sure that the feeding program though very expensive continues since this is a great incentive for the learners to complete schooling.

We will continue to thank you for your commitment and giving consistently to our needs.  Our budget for every month to pay the staff is $5,000 which is an average of $95, something that is low in comparison to other staff working in other private or public organizations. Of this budget already one donor gives $500 every month. Our local income meets about $2,000 hence we still have a deficit of US$2,500 if we are to pay our staff consistently at this rate.

With this report, we trust that you can also commit yourself monthly. If we get 5 more people giving U$500 more we will be able to meet our staff budget and it will be a leap forward to seeing more children complete school and a motivated staff ready to do their best.

What you have done has caused great impact as follows:

1. Since January up to now we have managed to pay staff without any arrears.
2. Staff retention have been noticed for only few have left for greener pastures as compared to other years.
3. We can say we have fully recovered from the COVID-19 effects which almost made us close down.
4. We also cleared the past staff arrears which had been acruing since 2020 due to mostly COVID-19 effects.

We beseech you that Giving Tuesday is on November 29th, 2022 and GlobalGiving has offered US$1,200,000 which will be distributed proportionally according to how much donation per orgainization. Help us get a portion of this by your generous donation during this one day global fundraising dubbed GIVING TUESDAY worldwide. Hoping to see your generous contribution on 29th November 2022 or get your monthly commitmemt to ensure our staff are motivated.

Sincerely Grateful,

Luke Jakoywa.
