Share your ideas on how to obtain funding to complete the girls dormitory, or organise a fundraising event

Many students travel long distances to Notre Dame High School, so board at the school during term time.
They already have a dormitory for the younger girls, and have started building one for the older girls too.
The main construction work is done, but the inside of the building still needs to be finished by completing the floor, plastering the walls, and adding windows and doors.
The estimated cost for this is 3,400,000 Ugandan Shillings (approx 1100 euros/US$1500 at today’s exchange rates). A detailed budget is attached in Excel and PDF format.
Hello Ildikó and Stephen,
It is good to know that you have the basics already worked out and are just waiting for the funds to roll in. In my previous post I had felt it necessary to take you straight to the issue of funds, since that is obviously what the task is all about, and engaging neighbours in discussions or seeking opinions on non-fund issues is simply going to delay matters and will not translate into funds for your village.
Since you already own the land, the next logical steps are:
- from your own experience, estimate the number of classrooms and other facilities required for the school (can be done locally at your end)
- contact a few architects and local builders for an estimate of expenditure for construction of the school (must be done locally at your end)
- arrange funds for construction of the school
Develop a Fundraising Plan to Purchase a Plot of Land

Sajos Academy Kiserian would like to purchase a plot of land on which they can build their own school. The school is paying a monthly rental fee for use of their existing building. The cost of rent at this time is 20,000 KES/month ($246.61 USD/158.79 GBP). "Yes We Can Self-Help Group" usually raises these funds monthly by members contributing 100 KES each. Sometimes they find it harder to raise the funds for rent due to other monthly expenses associated with running the school.
