http://pledgie.com/campaigns/220 <p>This goal is to raise funds for <b>four months of food relief and cooking supplies for the ten orphans of <a href="http://throughglobaleyes.org/page/rescuemission">Children Rescue Mission, Kenya</a></b>.</p> <p>This goal is of immediate need and includes the purchase of basic foodstuffs such as cereals, grains, vegetables and milk, and supplies like cooking fat and even a new stove. The proposed amounts will sustain the basic nutritional needs of the ten orphans for approximately four months. During this time, we will be working with Tropical Focus to secure a more sustainable source for food and supplies for the orphanage.</p> <br /> <table class="data" width="400" colpadding="3"> <tr> <td></td> <td colspan="2"> per child </th><td colspan="2"> for all ten children </th> </tr><tr> <td></td> <td>Ksh</td> <td>$</td> <td>Ksh</td> <td>$</td> </tr><tr> <td>Food and Cooking Supplies</td> <td>4,000</td> <td>57.50</td> <td>40,000</td> <td>575.00</td> </tr><tr> <td>New Stove</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>3500</td> <td>50.00</td> </tr><tr> <td>Total</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>43,500</td> <td><strong>625.00</strong></td> </tr> </table> <br /> <p>After raising the funds, we will wire the money to our partners, Tropical Focus, an NGO working in Kenya, who will purchase and distribute the food and supplies and document how the money was used.
