Fundraising

For its continuity, the Sibusiso Foundation is dependant on several sources of income.

Local contributions from parents of children residing in the Sibusiso Centre

Parents of mentally disabled children who stayed in the Sibusiso Centre indicated that they want to contribute towards their stay in the centre. A survey was done to decide on the appropriate amount. The lowest amount mentioned was 5,000 Tanzanian Shilling ($ 3) a month, which was then taken as the minimum monthly contribution. In cases where parents cannot make this contribution, they can pay an equivalent in kind.

Fundraising activities, donations and sponsoring from organisations and private individuals

undraising activities are a helpful and necessary means of guaranteeing Sibusiso's continuity. The good thing is that these activities are often fun and interesting as well. Large or small, every effort is appreciated!

Donations and sponsoring from organisations and private individuals are indispensable to Sibusiso. There are various possible donations, such as one-time donations and periodical donations.

All donors are updated on a regular basis on the ins and outs of the Sibusiso programme through (electronic) newsletters.
