Request for Donation

Welcome to SSEC, your action is invited to make a difference!



Dear Mr/Ms X,

South Sudan Education for Change (SSEC) is respectfully asking you for a $1- 53,000 donation to help support the Pabil Primary School Project. SSEC has the goal of raising $53,000, and your donation would take us closer to reaching our goal. To further this goal, SSEC has partnered with The Hope Alliance, a non-profit organization, which allows all donations to be tax deductible.


Goal


SSEC's goal is to increase the literacy level of children in the South Sudan community by providing a favorable learning environment for the children. Currently, classes are held outside, under trees. SSEC would like to build a school in which classes could be held.


The Role of SSEC

The role of SSEC, in partnership with the South Sudan community, is to help build a school by raising financial resources. Once the school building is completed classes would move indoors. 250-300 children would attend the school each year. The government of South Sudan has agreed to continue to provide and pay teachers and the community will maintain the day to day operation and maintenance of the school. SSEC's role would then be limited to providing supplies when needed.


Where We Are Today


Currently, SSEC had spent $30,000 on the project; specifically on building materials such as iron sheets, timbers, rods, cement, grabble, concrete, and blocks production. Another $53,000 is need for additional building materials and contractors. Construction has been delayed until additional funds can be raised. We hope to continue with the construction in December.


Benefit to the Community


Apart from providing a physical building to educate the children, the school would benefit the community in many additional ways. It could be used as a community center, providing a location for community development projects such as agriculture, small business, and health and sanitation trainings. The Diasporas could utilize the facility to transfer their knowledge and skills both when visiting home or by channeling their friends that are on humanitarian mission to the facility.

Thank you for considering a donation to our project and investing in the education of the children of South Sudan. Any donations should be made payable to The Hope Alliance, with a note indicating the "Solomon School Project." Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or visit our blog at http://www.solomonawan.blogspot.com/ to see progress on the project.




Sincerely,


Solomon Awan

A picture Worth Thousand Words




Dear friends, supporters of the SSEC,

Please see yourself the pictures of the school you and I are working on. These pictures came from the site and contain bricks production and construction materials being downloaded. We are getting there slowly, but with confidence and resolve. Next, we will be seeing a picture of a beautiful school with a student standing in front of a classroom with broader smile saying thank you!!!

Let us once again rejuvenate and push this project to the final result we’re aiming for-------a full school with eight classrooms, two toilets, and a library.

Thank you all for your contribution!
