Donation

We are presently raising funds to support our projects in Africa. The money raised will be allocated as follows:

A) For Deaf children:

Funding will ensure that 120 Deaf children under 13 years old continue receiving a basic Education.

The following contributions will provide:-

• 50p - school meal per day, to each Deaf child.
• £10 - basic educational material to each Deaf child for 1 year e.g. (books, note-books, pencils and school bags)
• £25 - a school uniform & shoes for a Deaf child
• £50 – monthly salary for 1 school bus escort.
• £80 - monthly salary for 1 school bus driver.
• £125 - transport per week for Deaf children to and from their school.
• £146 - training per week for Sign Language classes to hearing parents of Deaf children (24 parents per session / 3months)

B) For Deaf Women & Girls:

Deaf women selling fishes in a local market at Kinshasa thanks to a start- up loan capital received from the D.E.A.F.

Financial support will empower Deaf women to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity, through gaining access to sustainable sources
of secure employment.

£30 - offers basic business, health & human rights training for 1 Deaf woman or girl.

A tiny loan less than £150, will allow a Deaf woman or girl to start her own business and move towards economic self-sufficiency. This income generation activity will help her to escape prostitution and poverty and enable her to feed herself and family.

C) Other support needed

In addition to raising funds to support Deaf children and Deaf women and girls, we also need to raise funds to support our local office in Kinshasa.  Money is needed to ensure that the local branch is operable and enable our staff to oversee all of our projects and ensure they are working efficiently.

• £150 - monthly rent for the local office.
• £200 - Management & Administration costs.
• £300 - monthly salary for the local staff (5 people).
