One time expenses
1 . A Vehicle
A simple vehicle estimated for $1,500 USD is needed for frequent and necessary trips to the nearby town for daily shopping needs. Although the town is not far, currently our staff members are walking to obtain goods for our residents and find that especially in times of heavy rain and hot weather, it is difficult.

2. Playing Field and Playground for Students at Odiyana School
At Odiyana School, the main sports enjoyed by our students are soccer, volleyball, and cricket. Currently, our students use uneven ground for their sporting activities, which can make it difficult to play safely and comfortably.
We are planning to develop a separate playing field with a properly levelled and finished surface, along with some exercise equipment and a simple playground for our younger students. The cost is estimated to be around $ 2000. This project will provide a safer, more enjoyable environment where children can participate in sports, exercise, play, and develop their physical and social skills.
