Concerns about the Mothers’ salaries

Now that we have a Foster Family for every child, we found that we are neglecting the most important employees we have in Wa: the Mothers and watchmen who take care of our children at the Wa Yiri Compound.

The income of the Mothers and watchmen vary between 180 and 300 Ghc a month, totaling to about 1.400 Ghc. That is almost 17.000 Ghc, or €4.000 per year.

Because the expenditures are bigger then the incoming funds, we are headed for a financial shortage. That is why we decided to reduce the amount of funds we send to Ghana each quarter year, to a more realistic amount. The amount we now transfer is linked to the number of children that are currently staying at the Wa Yiri Compound. We have discovered that this amount is not sufficient to support both the children and the salaries of the Mothers and watchmen. As a temporary solution, we have raised the quarterly amount, but that increases the risk of a shortage of funds later.

The Board has decided to look into a separate means of funding the salaries of the Child Support staff in Ghana. We think this can be done in 2 ways: we request several institutions to fund the salaries for a few years, or we ask people and institutions to sponsor a Mother or watchman partly or completely.
We would love to hear what you think of these options, and if you are willing to help us out. Please send a message to the Board if you see an opportunity to support our plans!
