Self-sufficient schools: How schools can make money for themselves

Many schools rely on outside donors and/or tuition fees to meet their ongoing running costs.
It is also possible for a school to make money in other ways to cover some or all of these costs e.g. by running one or more small businesses based at the school.
If you have been successful in this how did you start, what challenges did you face and how did you overcome them, what benefits have there been to the school and its students?
Sajos Academy Kiserian - Newsletter
Sun, 2009/07/26 - 10:31 —Dear neighbours of Kiserian,
First of all, HELLO to all new neighbours. Daniel, the local representative, and me welcome you to Kiserian, we are happy you joined us!
Since the last newsletter I sent, "New Developments for Kiserian", we got some new information which I wanted to let everyone know about:
Hi Daniel,
Correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I can understand from your post above:
- the available funds are 10,000 Kenyan Shillings
- the funds required for the next term are 30,000 Kenyan Shillings
(you have mentioned the total as 30,0000 which I presume is a typing error)
Hence, your requirement of funds shall be as under:
- for next term 30,000 minus 10,000 = 20,000 Kenyan Shillings
Brainstorm options for income-generating activities for the school (self-sustainability)

We would like to generate different options that the school can explore to help them generate additional income, and in the long term, to make the school self-sustainable.
