Projected Items 2009-10
1).Volunteer’s house: (12.80m x 4.50m)
Project Goal: We need to build basic overnight accommodation for volunteers who come to help us. The 70km round-trip from Siem Reap each day is very difficult, specially during the raining season. The building will be in two parts (up-stairs for accommodation and the ground floor for use as a Computer Training Room and a Cooking Class area for older children and volunteers who wish to learn about preparing Khmer Food.)
Budget sum: USD 9875.34
2). Rice storehouse & hall: (12m x 8m)
Project Goal: We need to build a strong Rice Storehouse area for the orphanage together with a rice threshing machine hall.
Budget Sum: USD 2997.24
3). Rice Threshing Machine: 1 item
Project Goal: We usually buy rice from outside about 78oo kgs a year, and this currently costs $ 3000. If we spend $ 3000 to collect the rice from villagers in harvest season and mill it ourselves, it will result in 7000 kg of rice, and 2700 kg of bran to feed the chickens and pigs, and have the rice hulls to make compost for the garden.
Budget Sum: USD 1500 ( This project has been donated by Street Kids Rescue in November, 2009)
4). Chicken coop and fencing: (16m x 10m)
Project Goal: We need to build a chicken coop and pen to house more chickens to increase the children’s protein intake of maet and eggs, as well as having some for sale.
Budget Sum: USD 550
5). Pigs and Piggery: 10 pigs
Project Goal: We currently buy about 60 kg of beef or meat for food per month. It supplements our own fish supply. If we can house and feed 10 pigs a the orphanage we will become less reliant on buying from outside. This is another aspect of our plan to become self sufficient as well as giving the children access to agricultural / husbandry skills.
Budget Sum: USD 750
6). Purchase of additional orphanage land: (3151 sq m)
Project Goal: We need to increase the orphanage space for planting and feeding because we are working towards a degree of self sustainability by the extension of our vegetable gardens and the excavation of an additional pond for breeding fish.
Budget Sum: USD 5500
7). Fish feeding pond: (20m x 15m x 3m)
Project Goal: Fish are the children’s main source of protein and we neet to create one more fish pond to mainytain our supply year round. We can then rotate ponds using one as a starter breeding pond while we draw on the others for food.
Budget Sum: USD 2250
8). The Copy Machine: 1 item
Project Goal: We need a photocopy machine for use at the orphanage . Currently we have to do a 25 km round-trip from town to copy the text-lessons and we currently spend about $ 130 per month .
Budget Sum: USD 1800
9). Individual student lockers: 30 items
Project Goal: As some of our children are now i their early teens, a place to keep their few personal items and clothing would help, specially for the older girls.
