FUNDRAISING GOALS

  • Currently, AdIYD2 doesn’t have a source of income or a clear revenue stream. The sustainability of our programs depends on the monthly support from an individual funder who trusted our leadership, programs, and transparency in financial management. As said one person can make a difference (or can change the world), meanwhile, life experience shows that at a certain point we need to work together to be sure the work continues, expands, and is self-sustaining.Thus, the support estimated at $15,615 will help us to build in Kakuma Refugee camp a classroom and a small office.
  • To run the classroom efficiently, we need your support of $3,560 to buy 20 laptops and 20 chargers for $600,
  • The classroom will also need chairs, tables, and a blackboard at the cost of $1,100. The transport of the material $ 735
  • The total cost for the construction and equipment of the centers is $24,075
