Faith Angels Ministry

This month the money has been spent on the construction of the teacher’s house, purchasing tree poles, and on the distribution of health kits. Due to the Covid lockdown, the children have been many days in lockdown but the money has been spent on things needed for the school and the community.

Funds breakdown

Collected support: $163 USD

・Purchase of tree poles: 57%

・Leveling the ground 28%
. Distribution of health kits: 15%

Purchase of tree poles
The purchase of three poles will be used to construct the house. Because of the fact that they don’t have enough funds to construct a permanent house (which would have been the best option), they decided to build the staff house using local materials which can be got at a cheap price. They have therefore paid for enough trees which will be cut down for poles to help in the construction of the house.
At this stage, it’s going to be slightly expensive. So they will first gather all the required materials before the construction begins. They will need expenses on iron sheets, nails, doors, and windows.
Leveling the ground
Completion of leveling the ground for the staff house construction is done. The ground is perfectly leveled and they are now waiting for the construction work to start.
Distribution of health kits
They successfully held a community health camp in three Batwa centers. This was a result of public requests from the Batwas.
Most of the teenage girls had got pregnant due to spending many days without going to school (among these, 15 girls between ages 12 – 16 are about to give birth). We have started a sensitization campaign about ageless education and good parenting. This will help to integrate these teenage mothers back to school without being stigmatized.
60% of Batwa have acquired HIV/Aids. They have resolved to start a program of distributing protective condoms as a way of reducing the spread of the virus among the Batwa. Together with the district health experts, they have also agreed to distribute ARVS to the affected victims of HIV.

Organization’s activities

Orphan support program
Under this program, they supported children at Faith Angels Nursery and Primary school. These children don’t pay any money when at school because most of them are vulnerable because of their family background. They, therefore, have access to free education.
In the previous 5 years, they have managed to purchase land and establish temporary classrooms for the children to have a basic education. These classrooms are not up to the required standards yet though.
They have been paying monthly rent for staff accommodation but we are so happy to announce that the first step to constructing a staff quarters house.

Entrepreneurs monitored by IOM

Last month, the group of entrepreneurs collected $60 USD. The amount has been delivered together with the collected $80 in the previous month, making a total of $320 USD.
The collected amount during the previous 2 months has been delivered already to the leader of the entrepreneur’s group.
It will be shortly divided between the 16 entrepreneurs that already have opened their projects in Airfunding, with the objective of using it to develop their business plans or improve their current businesses.
We will inform about these improvements in the next reports!

Solidaridad sin Limites

This month, the collected $163 has been used for the transportation needed of the mission to Mirití Paraná

Funds breakdown

Collected support: $45 USD

Transportation: 100%

Transportation
The money has been spent on transportation to Mirití Paraná. They need support because it was mandatory to go from Leticia to the community on a plane. There is no way to go on a bus or a boat. By boat, the distance was 15 days from Leticia to the community so it would be 30 days to go and return for just a few days of attention.
So they will take two planes: one from Medellín and Bogotá to Leticia and one to the community.
The overall cost of the mission is around 10.000 USD and it was held from the 13th to the 20th of August.

Organization’s activities
