Donate to set up a school in Gaza: Madrasat Noor Al-Hayat

UPDATE:

We started building the school! All thanks to your donations and to the people in Gaza who are building it. We added pictures of the tent below. We are still not there to finish the whole project, so please feel free to donate something and share this further.

We zijn begonnen met de bouw van de school! We willen jullie als donateurs bedanken, maar ook de mensen in Gaza zelf die de school opzetten. We hebben foto's bijgevoegd onderin met hoe het er nu uit ziet. We zijn er alleen nog niet, dus we zouden het echt waarderen als je iets zou willen doneren of het verder zou willen delen met je netwerk.

Due to the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, thousands of children have been denied access to education. For children living in refugee camps, the need for a safe and nurturing learning environment is urgent. This project aims to establish a temporary tent school to provide education, structure, and hope for the children in the refugee camp where my family resides. The school will focus on essential education, emotional support, and creative activities, delivered by local volunteer teachers, including my sister Maisa Alsemeiri who is an experienced educator.

Initial Setup Costs

1. Tent materials (3 tarps): 900 NIS = EUR225 / USD243- Wood for structure: 800 NIS = EUR200 / USD216- Nails and fasteners: 50 NIS = EUR12.50 / USD13.50- Transportation of materials: 100 NIS = EUR25 / USD27- Labor costs (worker for setting up): 200 NIS = EUR50 / USD54

Total Infrastructure: 2050 NIS = EUR512.50 / USD553.50

2. Stationery and Learning Materials

Providing essential materials for 50 students:- Notebooks (4 dozen, 60 per dozen = 52 notebooks): 400 NIS = EUR100 / USD108- Pencils (5 dozen, 50 per dozen): 50 NIS = EUR12.50 / USD13.50- Whiteboard and markers: 300 NIS = EUR75 / USD81- Erasers (50 units): 50 NIS = EUR12.50 / USD13.50

- Drawing pads (50 units): 200 NIS = EUR50 / USD54

Total Learning Materials: 1000 NIS = EUR250 / USD270

3. Teacher Incentives

We aim to have 3 teachers who will dedicate their time and effort to teaching these children. While

the teachers are willing

to volunteer without payment, we believe in recognizing their hard work through a modest reward.- Monthly reward for each teacher: EUR250 / USD270 (per teacher)- For 3 teachers over 3 months: EUR2,250 / USD2,430 (total for 3 months)

4. Student Rewards

Small rewards for students to encourage attendance and participation:- Monthly rewards for 50 students: 200 NIS = EUR50 / USD54- For 3 months: 600 NIS = EUR150 / USD162

Total Costs for 3 Months

1. Infrastructure costs (one-time): 2050 NIS = EUR512.50 / USD553.50

2. Learning materials (one-time): 1000 NIS = EUR250 / USD270

3. Teacher incentives: EUR2,250 / USD2,430

4. Student rewards: 600 NIS = EUR150 / USD162

Grand Total for 3 Months: Approximately EUR3,162.50 / USD3,415.50

If we add the 35% commission to the Grand Total for 3 Months (EUR3,162.50 / USD3,415.50), The adjusted total would be:- EUR4,269.38- USD4,610.93

This represents the amount that needs to be raised to ensure the necessary funds are received after the 35% deduction. We also have to take commission of GoFundMe in consideration.
