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.
The number of students enrolled at Sajos Academy Kiserian continues to increase each year and as a result, we are quickly outgrowing the existing building. At the present time, our building can accommodate 100 children. This is unfortunate because it means many children are left out due to lack of adequate space. Children with disabilities are home-based due to the lack of appropriate space to accommodate them. At the present time, not all of our students can stay at the school because we lack a place for them to sleep. Some students sleep in town.
Our dream is to purchase our own plot of land and one day build our own school with boarding facilities to accommodate the students - a space where they can learn, play and grow in a safe positive environment. We have located a plot of land that we are interested in. In order to purchase it, we need to raise approximately 800,000 KES ($9864 USD/6,351 GBP).
To achieve our goal, we are seeking expert advice to help us develop a feasible plan to raise the funds necessary.last month we were given a notice to vacate the premises so we want well wishers,friends to support us with ideas or info.what we can do to acquire our own plot where we can build the school ,i welcome all to this issue

Mathare village on nabuur has recently posted a similar requirement for buying a plot of land for the school. If you look around nabuur, you might find other villages with similar requirement for land for the school. If you can read the threads at these villages, it might give you a few ideas to carry forward at your own village for this task. You can then post specific requirements where you need advice from neighbours.
On the other hand, if you are interested in funds, you can locate a suitable land which you would like to buy for the school, and estimate the amount of funds required for purchase of the land and construction of the buildings. You can then create a specific task with "Fund-raising" in the headline. This shall make it easy for the fund-providers to easily notice your task. In this case, you will be required to interact only with the fund providers, and this should make your task very easy to implement.

Great job, Daniel ! The new headline of this task looks great.
In case you have only fund-raising as the sole objective of other tasks in your village, you could change the headlines there too. Also add some text after fund-raising so that the fund-providers can immediately spot what the fund-raising is all about. So the headline could be something like - FUND-RAISING TO BUY LAND FOR SCHOOL, or FUND-RAISING TO BUY FURNITURE, etc.
Also, let the fund-raising appear in uppercase (capital letters), like FUND-RAISING, so that it is loud enough and stands out apart from other tasks on nabuur.
You could also try to influence your other friends on nabuur to communicate more effectively through the headline of the task, so that the objective of the task is clear to all neighbours from the headline itself - particularly where fund-raising is involved.

Hi Daniel-
Have you defined how much money you will need to purchase a big enough plot of land to achieve your goals? If so, can you provide the total amount that needs to be raised?
How much are you currently paying in rent per month?
Jennifer

Dear Friends of the house my greetings.
Well apart from the music project I discussed about I am also into photography and video productions here in my Country, attached is a sample work I did for one known reggae Artiste who promised to allow me use his studio at a cheap rate for the recording and production of my songs.
This golden frame picture was designed by me for decorations. If interested ,simply send a scan photograph of you or your loved one’s via email address, then it will be reproduced and redesigned into customized Golden frame which are sold in different prices depending on the size e.g. ranges from 8 x 10 : $500 while 10 x 12 : $750 (including cost of delivery ,insurance to your home address).
This is another means discovered to raise funds for the less privileged as well, in a nutshell if I am giving all or less opportunity to establish my ideas so much money will be raised and realized to support the less privileged, homeless ,etc which is my major aim and goal for joining this site(nabuur.com)to help me put smiles in the faces of the less privileged in my country and beyond.
Thank you members in earnest, I internally greet you all for this great opportunity. God bless.
Respectfully Yours,
Isaiah.
