Breakdown of needs in Kinshasa
I have summarized a breakdown of economical needs related to our project here in Kinshasa. We are looking forward to hear from anyone willing to provide with sponsoring, ideas, questions or comments. So here goes...
1. My living costs are not very high and if we could get assistance funding them I would be able to stay here longer.
My current costs are:
a)10 USD/day = food
b)5 USD /day= transports etc.
In other words, totally 450 USD a month. My housing is free after arrangements by the Jatukik Providence Foundation.
Further time here in the DRC would give me possibilities to follow some individuals more deeply, which eventually can result in spreadings of their lifes in forms of pictures, videoclips and text stories to organizations and international media.
2. Jatukik Providence Foundation in collabaration with US-based Earth Rights Institute have developed the first eco-village in the DRC. One of many ambitions is to provide both organizations with pictures from this unique project. In addition a Swedish based NGO, Globetree, have asked me to investigate several areas of interest in order to implement a new project in the village. Here are costs for transportation, go and return, to the Eco-village:
300 USD - flight ticket
400 USD - hiring of jeep
300 USD - fuel to the jeep
Totally 1000 USD
3. FC Djursholm, a football-club in Stockholm, has donated hundreds of sports t-shirts to the children of Jatukik and Espoir Pour Tous. I was only able to bring 70 t-shirts. Both organizations have already proved there are innovative ways of using these clothes. Now we need someone willing to pay ship-costs for the rest, Sthlm-Kinshasa.
