The curtains in the living rooms are pretty worn, some of them so torn that they don’t even cover the windows completely. This does not feel good or safe especially because here it already gets dark between 18:00 and 19:00 when the girls are walking around the house in their pajamas after their shower. Therefore, it would be nice if we could replace the curtains in the living rooms.
For each house we need about $ 355, so for three house that means a total of $ 1065

Although kitchenware is not one of our basic needs we do need it to be able to prepare our meals. The kitchenware in all three family houses and in the independent living project urgently needs replacement. Due to cooking three times a day it wears out considerably. Many pots, pans, woks, chopping boards, knives, crockery and cutlery have all seen better days, so that some of them are no longer sanitary. We would like to make the ‘mothers’ and the girls happy with new kitchenware. For each family house we need $ 330 and for the independent living project we need $ 155
In total we need $ 1145

Mopeds, or rather ‘motorbikes’ as they go a bit faster than 40 km/hr, are a practical means of transport for the older girls who use them to go to school or sport on their own. They are also useful for the staff when they have to take a girl to the doctor’s or in other cases when going by car is not strictly necessary. The mopeds are cheaper to drive than cars which make them a good solution.
We need two extra additional mopeds to provide them to everyone who needs them.
One moped costs $ 2000 and so we need $ 4000 in total for two new bikes.

In the girls’ home the kitchen cabinets that we use for crockery and more are now about 17 years old. And if they are used many times by twelve residents every day then it’s only natural for them to wear out. They have been repaired many times but at some point that no longer works and now it’s time for new ones.
We need five new kitchen cabinets of $ 220 each.
In total we need $ 1100

In every family house we have storage cupboards for spare blankets, pillows and sheets for the girls as well as for personal items such as clothes and towels for the ‘mothers’. Just like the girls’ wardrobes these four veneered cupboards are almost falling apart and we would like to replace them.
We need $ 3.300 in total. Will you help us?
Doors in your house are for entering or leaving your home, but they also protect you from weather influences and they are useful when you are out or want to sleep. When these doors fail to function, they really need to be replaced. Two family houses have aluminium sliding doors which we thought were unbreakable but are now broken anyway. They are old and they have been repaired many times, but that’s no longer possible.
The price per set of doors is $ 330 and so to replace both sets we need a total of $ 660.
Will you help us buy new front doors for the girls’ houses?
