Support Tabara to Support Single Parents in Rwanda
Things we need:
Laptop £450
Get our office started by purchasing our first computer. This will be used by the Project Co-Ordinator and committee members to write funding proposals, keep excel accounts, write official letters and pass on IT skills to volunteers.
Project Coordinator £240 per quarter
Sponsor a much-needed Project Co-Ordinator to oversee the office and manage volunteers. This will provide secure employment for a single parent and their family whilst keeping Tabara’s activities on-track.
MTN USB Modem £90
Get Tabara connected to the outside world with an MTN USB dial-up modem. This can be used with the laptop anywhere in the country to help us keep up-to-date with e-mails, news and contacts.
Air-Time £25 per month
Keep the office online by helping to cover the monthly internet charge. E-mails, international contacts, web updates, fund finding – we couldn’t do it without this!
Health Pot £5, £10 or £15 per month
Contribute to a health pot to cover medical expenses for children of single parents who cannot afford to pay. Common, treatable diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea and chest infections can sometimes be fatal without medical attention. This money is used to support the poorest single-parent families when their children are sick.
Sponsor a Child £75 per year
Help support a child from a single-parent family to go to school. Although primary education is technically free, most schools still charge a basic fee. We allocate FRW 10,000 (around £12) in tuition fees per term plus a contribution to uniform, transport, books, pens, paper and other materials the child will need. We currently sponsor primary education for families who cannot otherwise afford it.
Agriculture Pot £250
Make a contribution to our fund to buy land so that single parents can cultivate crops and livestock. This provides food for low-income families and also a form of sustainable income to help parents provide education and healthcare for their children.
Social Events Pot £15, £25 or £50 per month
Contribute to bringing single parent families together by paying into a social events pot so that children of single-parent families can take part in sports, arts and play events suitable to their age range. Help fight the stigma and isolation by bringing fun and friendship to the lives of parents and kids.
Sustainable Income Pot £25, £30 or £50 per month
Perhaps not exciting, but necessary. Administration contributions go towards electricity, phone credit, volunteer and staff transport and all the little things involved in keeping projects running. Without the little things, the big things would never happen.
Administration £10 per month
Perhaps not exciting, but necessary. Administration contributions go towards electricity, phone credit, volunteer and staff transport and all the little things involved in keeping projects running. Without the little things, the big things would never happen.
If you like what you have seen here and wish to help support single parent families in Rwanda, or if you have any questions about the programmes and would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
When you pay into a pot you will receive regular updates on how the money is being used and the impact your contribution has had, as well as a copy of the annual financial report.
We look forward to building a brighter future with you.
