crowdfunding for Shanzu

For the last year and a half donations have started to bring changes in these kids' lives... Electricity, food, and even school for some of them...

But unfortunately there is still a long way to go... 

The goal is now to try to improve their living conditions a little; so 4 kids won't have to share a bed or they can have a decent space to eat.. 



To do so, I have started a "crowdfunding project", to get the funds to improve the state of the building and also build a separate space to be used as a day center for the orphans and the other kids who attend the orphanage for food, lessons and adult supervision during the day.

To do all that we will need 5000euros (6500USD) and the way crowdfunding works is that you either get funded 100% of the project or you don't get anything at all... so it is key to get as much people as possible to donate!

Please invite anyone you think could help to participate. Everyone's help is much needed and appreciated.

You can donate through the crowdfunding page or directly through PayPal.

To donate through the crowdfunding webpage, you can go to the following link to register:

1) type in the amount they'd like to donate (out of the options in euros)
2) Check the amount out of the amounts list
3) type in your name and direction (for rewards in appreciation)
4) donate by credit card

50eur-65USD -- reward: a big smile from the heart of Africa + your name in appreciation on our webpage + a picture of the kids
100eur-130USD -- reward: a big smile from the heart of Africa + your name in appreciation on our webpage + a picture of the kids + your name on a commemorative plaque
250eur-325USD -- reward: a big smile from the heart of Africa + your name in appreciation on our webpage + a picture of the kids + your name on a commemorative plaque + a letter from the kids

If the whole thing in Spanish is too confusing, please simply donate directly through PayPal to:

laiaparis@hotmail.com

For any questions or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

And a huge "Asante sana" from the kids!
