Seeds of Hope Program Support
The operational costs of our Seeds of Hope program add up to approximately $1200 USD per month. These costs include the rent of our school building as well gas, water, internet and electricity costs; our daily Nutrition Program for the students as well as food on field trips; administrative and maintenance costs including printing, cleaning, toothpaste and soap, kitchen and first aid supplies and incidentals; school supplies and Seeds’ stationery; transportation for field trips; and medicine and clothing for children, as the need arises.
We greatly rely on the constant presence of International Volunteers to try to cover these costs through our Volunteer Contribution fees. However due to the unpredictable nature of recruiting volunteers and/or when our school supplies get low, we need to try to attend to these operational costs through other sources.

One of our most important operational costs is our daily Nutrition Program. Many of our students do not receive adequate protein in their diets, so we try to supplement this deficiency by offering healthy snacks daily at Seeds of Hope. By allowing a child to receive a balanced diet, he or she can develop properly and maintain good health and well-being. This in turn allows them to also perform better in school.
It costs approximately $4.25 USD to provide 1 child with our Nutrition Program for one month. Your donation of $40 USD per month will provide 9 of our 50 students with a month’s worth of nutritious daily snacks.

How can any child have a decent shot at success if they lack the basic nutrients required to develop strong healthy bodies and minds?
