Make a Difference

The best part of a donation to FoF is its immediate impact. Every gift directly supports the Fumbelo Village School. Examples: 

$15 Books for a learner in grades 1-4 
$20 Books for a learner in grades 5-6
Note: Learners in grades 1-4 need 5 books, one for each of their subjects: English, Math, Science, Creative and Technology, and Social Studies. Learners in grades 5-6 need 7 books, as Creative and Technology splits into 3 courses - Technology, Home Economics, and Expressive Arts.

$185 Monthly salary for a teacher
$375 Books for an entire grade (25 students) in grades 1-4
$500 Books for a whole grade (25 students) in grades 5-6
$2,220 Annual salary for a teacher

Money is tracked and spent by a well-established administrator who has been our partner for fifteen years. She does all on-the-ground finances for the school, pays salaries, hires staff when there’s turnover or a teacher on leave (for example, finding a 3-month replacement for a teacher who is about to go on maternity leave), and ensures all students have uniforms and shoes.
