Running costs
It costs 175KSH (about $2 or £1.50) to provide meals for a child from a poor family for one day while he or she is studying at our school.
Orphans cost a little more to feed – 225KSH – because they have an extra meal per day.
The inside of our classroom
Other regular costs we have to meet from donations are teacher’s salaries, electricity and medical care for the children.
Our total running costs depend on how many children are attending our school but usually we have to pay about 250,000KSH ($3100 or £2100) every month to cover these essentials.
We must also try to save funds for furniture, new building, repairs and providing school uniforms for new arrivals.
