Sustainability of our projects

Am Freitag, den 21. April 2024, saßen wir mit unseren Partnern TAWREF, MPDI und Kidshare Foundation am Tisch. Wir haben auf das vergangene Jahr zurückgeblickt und es ausgewertet. Ein wichtiger Diskussionspunkt war die Nachhaltigkeit unserer Projekte. Man kann einen tollen Kindergarten haben, aber wie stellt man sicher, dass er auch in zehn Jahren noch eine Schule ist? Zunächst einmal ist es wichtig, dass die Eltern im Dorf wirklich einen Kindergarten wollen. Wir bitten sie auch, zum Bau beizutragen, mit lokalen Materialien oder durch ehrenamtliche Arbeit. Die Kidshare-Stiftung investiert zu Beginn des Projekts auch in eine „einkommensgenerierende“ Aktivität.

We provide funds for, for example, 15 goats per school. The school management can sell several goats per year and thus generate income to pay the salaries of the kindergarten teachers. After the kindergarten has been completed, our partner organisations continue to support the projects. They organise training for the teachers and the school board. They also meet regularly with the parents and ask them questions about what is going well and what could be improved. In this way we can work together to ensure that the projects are sustainable.

It had to remain a secret. I caught the train to Haarlem very early in the morning. There, our chairman and founder of the Kidshare Foundation, Hans van Driel, was to receive a royal honour. Mayor Jos Wienen praised Hans’s dedication and enthusiasm, which have made it possible for Kidshare to build 66 schools in several African countries.

What a celebration it was! Last month, we opened a new preschool with Kidshare in the far north of Uganda. A very poor area where children have no chance without good education. The parents had built a mud hut there. There, the children were taught on the ground in the dusty sand.
