Irvine – News Update – October 2024

Dear our friends, sponsors and partners 

We hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support you have provided over the past four years. Your unwavering commitment to the children’s education. Payment of their school fees and providing uniforms and stationery has significantly impacted their lives and our entire community.

However, we are writing to you today with a pressing matter that requires your kind consideration. Due to unforeseen circumstances, one of the children had to discontinue schooling. With no one to support him with food, as his grandmother was unwell, attending school became an impossible challenge. It is disheartening for us to see any child miss out on the opportunity of education, and we are determined to prevent such situations from occurring again by offering the support we can.

With the end of the school year approaching in December, we have been reflecting on the support we have received over the past years and considering ways to ensure a sustainable future for our children. We recently purchased a small piece of land with great potential for income-generating projects. We plan to start small and gradually expand, allowing us to support our children and the community. If we become financially stable, we will stop asking for donations every term and manage our projects so that they become sustainable. So kindly consider making a once-off big sponsorship or small donations at your convenience until we reach our target. Also consider sharing about our work with your family, friends and church so that they might also consider giving toward it

To initiate this transformative project, we are reaching out to you our valued sponsors, friends and partners for your continued support. We humbly request donations to help us raise the required funds, amounting to $7000 United States Dollars, to kick start this endeavour. These funds will be allocated towards setting up the infrastructure, drilling a borehole, and acquiring the needed resources, and capital to ensure the smooth running of our projects. We plan to start poultry projects which can generate income every six weeks.

We understand the significant commitment this entails and would be more than willing to discuss any specific terms or conditions you could have. We aim to maintain complete transparency in our operations and will provide regular updates on the progress and impact of the project. We want you to feel confident in the positive change your contributions will bring about.

Once again, we cannot thank you enough for the incredible support you have shown us over the years. Your generosity has made a profound difference in the lives of children, and we are immensely grateful. We genuinely hope that you will consider supporting our new project, as it holds the potential to uplift our community and secure a brighter future for our children.

Please feel free to reach us for any further details or inquiries. We deeply appreciate your time, consideration, and unwavering belief in our mission. Together, we can continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of these children, empowering them to achieve their dreams. 

Regards

Irvine and Wayne Banda
