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


Managing Director

A mileston Achievement

Dear friends, Supporters of the SSEC, I am again updating you on the status of the school we all need to see going through. I made a call to the field on Saturday and was told that bricks production went very well to the capacity of cement that was initially purchased. This means that bricks production would have been completed by now was not the shortage of cement. In addition, I was told that digging of the foundation will commence within two days. The manager (David Malith) will come to Juba soon to request additional funds for the purchase of addintional materials. Among others, he will be requesting funds for the following items:
• Timber
• Cement (additional to what has already been)
• Iron sheets (150 pieces already purchased)
• Engineer compensation
• Transportation fees
Challenges
I was told that the engineer/masonary was asking unbearable amount for his compensation. The village authorities are negotiating with him to come down from his price tag. I will get more information when David Malith arrives in Juba.

Another challenge is that we are behind the schedule. We were expecting a completion of the construction before rainy season begins. We can still meet that if we have enough funds for the upcoming purchase.

Your Help Needed
Friends, supporters of the SSLP, we all know how it has been hard on our finances beginning last year to present. However, we made determination and started this project during bad economic shock in the contemporary history. We shouldn’t give-up this time while we are halfway through. With the spirit of humanity, spearheaded by 6 year old Jayden, let us all make sure we finish this project together. The longer we leave it to one family (Clark’s family) the harder it becomes on them. Please joint hand with determined friends to get this done.

For donation, referral, ideas, or anything, please contacts me. I can be reach at:
