Dear Esteemed <Donor>,
Warm greetings from Sheepcare Community Centre!
We are honored to present this update on our project "Motivate a Volunteer Staff to Help a Child." Your support has made a significant difference in empowering our staff and improving the lives of the children we serve.
The Motivate Volunteer Staff to Help a Child project under GlobalGiving is designed to empower and uplift Sheepcare Community Centre's dedicated staff, ensuring they are well-supported, motivated, and equipped to serve vulnerable children effectively. Over this reporting period, we focused on staff development, well-being initiatives, and improved working conditions, all of which positively impacted the children under our care.
Project Objectives
To motivate staff through capacity building, recognition, and well-being programs.
To improve the quality of services offered to children by enhancing staff performance and morale.
To promote a sustainable and supportive working environment for staff.
To directly impact the lives of disadvantaged children through strengthened staff engagement.
Activities and Achievements
Staff Training and Development:
Organized two professional development workshops focusing on child psychology, inclusive education techniques, and leadership skills. 32 Staff attended the training session , with 85% reporting increased confidence and job satisfaction.
Staff Recognition and Welfare:
Held team-building events that enhanced camaraderie, collaboration, and morale. The staff members were excited just to have time out as staff to have fun and bond together. This brought a new energy into the team.
Impact on Children:
Improved staff engagement directly contributed to better classroom management, emotional support, and mentorship for over 200 children. 30% of the children showed notable academic improvement, while 45% demonstrated enhanced social and emotional development.
Challenges
Limited Funding: Budgetary constraints limited the number and scale of staff incentives we could offer.
Burnout Risk: Despite motivation efforts, some staff reported high stress due to the demanding nature of their work.
Future Plans
Launch a formal staff mentorship program to provide peer support and leadership development.
Secure additional funding to offer regular wellness programs (mental health support, retreats).
Expand training sessions to include digital skills and specialized child protection strategies.
Create a sustainable staff reward fund to ensure ongoing motivation efforts.
We sincerely appreciate you for your generous support through the GlobalGiving Platform. Your Kindness has strengthened the backbone of Sheepcare Community Centre — our committed staff. With better-equipped and motivated teams, we have been able to offer quality education, care, and hope to the children who need it most. We are deeply grateful and remain committed to sustaining this positive momentum.
With deepest appreciation,
Joshua Omondi Ochieng
