Our Urgent needs

School & Ophanage Monthly Budget

At St. Tabitha, we are dedicated to providing nourishing daily meals to approximately 150 children, both at our school and within the orphanage. Despite our commitment, we have been facing significant challenges in raising the necessary funds for food each month. This situation is critical as we also have teachers and other essential staff members who rely on consistent pay in order to continue their vital work in our community. Adding to our concerns, many of our children frequently fall ill, with malaria being a common and serious health risk that we must address.

Our educational institution serves a diverse range of students, from Pre-Primary all the way through Junior Secondary levels. For those students who advance and reach grade 10, we face the additional responsibility of transferring them to other schools, which involves incurring extra tuition fees. The financial commitments vary, with boarding school expenses amounting to $600 per year, while day school students incur costs of $200. These fees help cover essentials like stationery and other necessary supplies that support our children's education.

We invite you to take a look at our monthly budget. Your review and support could make a significant difference in the lives of our children, ensuring they receive the nourishment and education they desperately need. Please consider how you might contribute to our mission, as every little bit can help improve their well-being and future prospects.

Boys Domitory

St. Tabitha House is a dedicated mixed orphanage that provides essential care and support for both boys and girls, nurturing them in a loving environment. However, we are currently facing an urgent and critical need for assistance, particularly for the boys in our care. At this moment, they are enduring challenging and inadequate sleeping conditions that fail to prioritize their safety and overall comfort. To address this pressing issue, we are actively seeking to construct a proper dormitory that will offer the boys a safe and nurturing space, where they can rest and recuperate in peace. The estimated cost for this vital project is $15,000. Your generous support can truly make a significant difference in the lives of these children, providing them with the security and comfort they so rightfully deserve. Together, we can unite our efforts to create a brighter future for the young residents of St. Tabitha House, ensuring they have the foundation they need to thrive and grow. Please consider contributing to this important initiative—your help can change lives.

### Beekeeping Overview

At our establishment, we proudly manage a total of 20 beehives, each serving as a bustling home for thousands of bees. These hives play a critical role in our mission to promote sustainable beekeeping practices and contribute to local ecosystems.

As we look toward the future, our ambitious projection for the upcoming year is to expand our operations significantly, aiming to reach a target of 1,000 beehives. This expansion will not only increase our honey production but also enhance biodiversity in our area by supporting pollinator populations.

To achieve this exciting goal, we are working with a carefully planned budget of USD 4,000. This investment will be allocated towards essential resources, equipment, and the maintenance of our beehives, ensuring that we can provide top-notch care for our bees while fostering a thriving beekeeping operation. With your support, we can continue to promote the importance of bees and their vital role in our environment.

Fish Ponds

Currently, we operate a single fish pond that houses a thriving population of approximately 4,000 catfish. This pond represents our commitment to sustainable aquaculture and the careful management of aquatic resources.

As we look to the future, we have set an ambitious projection to expand our operations to a total of four fish ponds. Each of these new ponds is estimated to cost around $1,000, which will enhance our ability to cultivate more fish and meet the growing demand for sustainable seafood.

To support this expansion initiative, we have allocated a budget of $3,000, which will allow us to invest in the necessary infrastructure and resources for the development of these additional ponds. We are excited about the potential growth and opportunities this project will bring in advancing our aquaculture efforts.

Pig Farming

We currently have a total of 10 pigs in our care and management. As we look ahead, our projection indicates that we aim to expand this number to 50 pigs in the near future. To support this growth and ensure the well-being of our pigs, we have prepared a budget of USD 2,000, which will help cover essential costs. This investment will enable us to enhance our operation and provide the necessary resources for our expanding livestock.

Sugarcane & Maize

At our farm, we focus on the cultivation of both sugarcane and maize, two vital crops that play an essential role in feeding our local community. By growing these agricultural products, we not only help ensure that people have access to staple foods but also create a sustainable source of income. The surplus produce generated from our harvests is sold, and the funds raised are dedicated to supporting our orphanage, allowing us to provide care and resources for the children in need. Through this initiative, we are committed to fostering both community well-being and the welfare of orphans, making a positive impact in our area.

Land For Agriculture

To effectively support ongoing growth and development in our community, it is crucial that we secure land for the establishment of essential infrastructure. The expansion of roadways, utilities, and various facilities is not merely beneficial; it is vital for enhancing accessibility and significantly improving the overall living standards within our community. By fostering this development, we can create a more interconnected environment that meets the needs of our residents. Moreover, embracing sustainable land use practices will play a key role in ensuring that our future progress is not only viable but also environmentally responsible. This strategic approach to land management will help us create a sustainable foundation for generations to come.
