ISABELO ORPHANAGE HOME

FUNDING PROPOSAL

March 14, 2015

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Isabelo Orphanage Home, which was established in 2011, a real alternative to family and support for abandoned and

orphaned children. Without the Home, orphaned and abandoned children would face an uncertain future and an

indeterminate stay in the system.

Our job is to build men and women of character, we strive in all we do to use the world’s best knowledge in human

development to help achieve this.

Hope like everything in life we believe can be cultivated, through action, meditation and interaction. Dreams don’t

happen in an environment that limits them, we aim to make sure our kids see all the world has to offer for growth and

development. Children don’t believe in isolation, they believe through sight and through touch, and are changed as

their minds get exposed to better information and better things.

We believe that hope isn’t the side effect of optimism but is learned and taught, because the mind can only think and

grab on what it knows and we aspire to make sure our kids know better.

3 BACKGROUND

3.1 Founding

Founded in 2011, Isabelo Orphanage Home is the dream of a six inspired individuals couple seeking to make a

measurable difference in their community. Armed with loving hearts and a never ceasing determination to save

orphaned children from poverty and starvation, they have fought tirelessly to make their dream a reality.

Construction has been ongoing, and a foundation is being laid for a landmark organization that will impact the

entire community for years to come. A facility in Daleside, Randvaal has been established

3.1.1 Vision

To be a major children empowerment player in training and developing the vulnerable in our

community

3.1.2 Mission

To become one of the dominant players in caring for vulnerable children and families through offering

skills training, life support programs.

4

For vulnerable children we will be focusing on providing the love, healthcare, education, activities and

skills training they need to access upward mobility.

For vulnerable families we will focus on making sure we keep the family together, access to emotional

and physiological support, vocational training and accessing government grants so that they can move

into a place of sustainability.

4 THE NEED FOR ISABELO ORPHANAGE HOME

The AIDS epidemic in South Africa is devastating families and communities. Our country has the world’s largest number of HIV- infected people, and therefore one the world’s largest orphan rates, estimated 3.7 million. There is nothing more traumatic for a child than to see a parent die. Added to this tragedy is the loss of adult guidance and protection. Children without proper adult care are more likely to be abused and exploited. Many orphans and vulnerable children slip further into poverty once the family’s main breadwinner stops working or dies. Losing a parent or caregiver often means losing access to social grants, education and healthcare. The best place for a child to grow is in a community of support, we through all our work practice and foster this environment of support. Our position is that children should grow up in safe and supportive environment.

5 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

In July 2000, the South African Department of Welfare was renamed “The Department of Social Development”.

The name changes done because of the government’s commitment to social transformation. They assert that they

are committed to the agenda of social transformation that is embodied in the principle of social justice and the Bill of

Rights contained in our Constitution. The Departments endeavors to create a better life for the poor, vulnerable and

excluded people in our society.

We at the Home work closely with the department, we are a registered CYCC (Child and Youth care Centre) with the

department. All children receding currently in the orphanage have been referred to us through the department and we

continue to work closely with them for support services and enhanced child and youth care provisions

We are also a registered Non-Profit organization with the Department our NPO Number is 099-306.

The department has also offered a minim subsidy for the operations and running of the Orphanage, these are closely

related to the immediate needs of the children and do not extend to any additional support that the children might

need outside the scope of basic needs for survival.

6 HOW WE WORK

We at the home believe that in order to help and raise children that will be effective contributors to their community,

nation and the world as a whole. We need to focus on making sure that five basic needs are always met and we

should continually find innovative ways to meet them and develop measures that will allow the child to master the

ability to meet them for themselves in the future.

These needs are:

5

Emotional

Physical

Spiritual

Psychological

Intellectual

6.1 High-Level Requirements

6.1.1 Emotional Needs

We understand that the most import needs in children are:

Accepted

Believed in

Cared about

Forgiven

Loved

Safe

Supported

Trusted

Understood

Valued

6.1.1.1 Emotional Needs Fulfilment

In order to meet this need effectively our Caregiving stuff are trained in child welfare, however since the needs are

deeply centric to the human condition. We have also made sure we try hard to hire a caring stuff that have a history

of self-sacrifice.

We also foster an environment of child centric involvement in that tier of our stuffing.

We are working on developing relations with societies, institutions and organization that work in the field of emotional

development of both adults and children. The idea being that we aren’t raising children but a cultivating adults.

6.1.2 Physical Needs

Children of all ages benefit from physical activity in their lives. The type and amount of activity they need changes as

they grow.

Children are naturally energetic, but without encouragement, they may become inactive. These days, many

children spend more and more time sitting – in class, traveling, using the computer, playing video games, or watching

TV.

6.1.2.1 Physical Needs Fulfilment

In order to make sure that our children’s physical needs are met we use the following principles...

6.1.2.1.1 BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL

We believe that children live what they see. So, if our children see us make physical activity a priority, they will take

note. Therefore we encourage all of our stuff to make healthy physical activity part of their daily routine.

6

6.1.2.1.2 KEEP THEM MOVING

Physical activity strengthens their hearts and helps kids and teens maintain a healthy weight and healthy blood

pressure, which may lower their risk of developing heart disease and stroke as they age. It’s beneficial to start early,

as active kids are more likely to become fit adults.

For health benefits, we make sure that our children accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity

physical activity daily.

6.1.2.1.3 UNSTRUCTURED ACTIVITIES ARE GOOD FOR KIDS

Organized sports can be valuable, but they’re not the only solution. Not all children like competition. We know that

unorganized sport and unstructured activity have been shown to be especially beneficial in preventing children from

becoming overweight, perhaps because the emphasis is not on winning but on fun, which may encourage

participation. As a family we want our kids to learn to rely on each other not beat each other.

6.1.3 Spiritual Needs

6.1.4 We know that all people (children included) need

to experience regularly the healing and empowerment of love - from others, self, and an ultimate

source, to experience renewing times of transcendence - moments that expand us beyond the

immediate sensory spheres,

a vital beliefs that give some sense of meaning and hope the midst of losses, tragedies, and failures, to

have values, priorities, and life commitments - usually centered in issues of justice, integrity, and love -

that guide us in personally and socially responsible living,

to discover and develop their inner wisdom, creativity and love of their unique transpersonal/spiritual

self,

A deepening awareness of oneness with other people and with the natural world, the wonderful web of

all living things.

Every human being needs spiritual resources to help heal the painful wounds of grief, guilt,

resentment, unforgiveness, self-rejection, and shame. We also need spiritual resources to deepen our

experiences of trust, self-esteem, hope, joy and love of life.

6.1.4.1 Spiritual Needs Fulfillment

In order to make sure that this need is met we will make sure that regular religious practices such as praying before

we eat, giving back to others annually, days of thankfulness and weekly religious study are conducted.

Our aim is to make sure that our children develop sources of strengths, hopes and faith.

6.1.5 Psychological Needs

People’s psychological needs are based on:

Competence,

o Our need to feel competent is satisfied when we have credible reason to believe that we are

good at something. Furthermore, if the thing that we are proficient at is something valued by

7

others, it becomes even more satisfying. Finally, if we believe that the things we are

competent at are difficult and that our skills were developed through dedication and diligence,

our sense of competence gets a greater boost.

Belonging,

o The feeling of belonging has two elements: comfort and acceptance. We are more inclined to

experience belonging in environments where we feel comfortable. Feeling comfortable is

analogous to how you feel when you are dressed in clothes that are becoming, fit well, and

are suitable for the occasion.

Usefulness,

o Of the five basic motivational needs, feeling useful is one of the more crucial. Nothing feels as

good as the knowledge that others need us and want our help. Our self-esteem gets a

tremendous boost when we feel that others value our areas of strength as essential for their

own success.

Potency, and

o When the goal is motivation, none of the four basic psychological needs is more important

than the need to feel potent. When people have valid reasons to believe that they have

influence over the factors that affect their ultimate success, they are more likely to exercise

that influence. Conversely, if we hold doubt about our capacity to effect the changes

necessary to improve our situation, it is understandable if we see little point in trying.

Optimism.

o Please note that the four feelings of competence, belonging, usefulness, and potency are not

independent or discrete phenomena. The satisfaction of one need frequently has a positive

spill-over effect that helps satisfy another.

6.1.5.1 Psychological Needs Fulfilment

Since this need can be met through the direct fulfilment of other needs we will therefore encourage and reward our

children as they achieve in school and in the sports field.

The basic form of reward we will be using in assigning more responsibility as they show that they are developing in

other areas of their lives because of the dynamic nature of this nee, we there see it at it be incorporated as an

evaluation tool in the other areas of the children’s lives.

6.1.6 Intellectual Needs

A child learns at his or her own pace, so everyone can be successful.

It is not our intent to push your child academically, but instead to provide a rich environment of learning materials,

stories, art, music, games, and fun-filled activities to encourage intellectual growth.

We will be using the best tool in our disposal to make sure that our kids get ahead academically and get the skills

required to master the world.

Every student will be required to have read at least one book a week, this is in our aim to help them develop the skill

of reading and gradually move them to be the most successful habits they can get early in life.

7 OBJECTIVES

To support underprivileged, children by upholding their basic human rights, giving them opportunities and helping

them to fulfill their lives' potential.

Specifically:

8

To care for approximately 60 children in a loving and secure environment;

To liaise with the child’s extended family (wherever possible), with the Department of Social Development

and with adoption lawyers in the hope of finding permanent families for the children in the care of the Isabelo

Orphanage Home;

To maintain close links with the Department of Social Development, local hospitals and other orphanages to

ensure that we receive needy children as efficiently as possible;

To provide appropriate ‘Outreach’ support which may be financial or ‘in kind’ to families of young children

where this will provide on-going support to enable a child to be returned and/or maintained in its ‘family’

home or avoid a child being abandoned at the Isabelo Orphanage Home .

9.1 The Board

10 OPERATIONS

10.1 New Children

All new children come to the Isabelo Orphanage Home, primarily through the Department of Social Development. New children have an initial medical examination as soon as practical, are given any necessary medication, and are introduced to all the existing children and staff. Family members, wherever possible, accompany the children to the Isabelo Orphanage Home and are encouraged (with financial support if necessary) to visit regularly to maintain the family links.

10.2 Caring for children

All other activities only exist in order to support this, the care of the children. There are schedules and itineraries for each day, so that the children are presented with a stimulating environment. Play is a prime focus, this is because we know children learn through doing. There is music, dancing, painting, building, sports and all the other activities that children love and which helps them become fully rounded individuals and to meet their developmental milestones. Above all there exists a loving and secure environment. The children are assessed regularly to ensure their health, growth, comfort and happiness. Their emotional and intellectual development is monitored and encouraged. Immunizations are kept up to date and any medical problems are treated and dealt.

10.3 Children with Special Educational Needs

We hope to cater for the Special Educational Needs of our children through the use of specifically trained (by visiting Physiotherapists, SEN teachers and doctors) to work with these children every day, providing physiotherapy, one to one time in Isabelo Orphanage Home’s purpose built Sensory Room, recording their progress and planning future targets for them.

11 STAFFING

Sabelo Ngwenya is the founder and Director of the Isabelo Orphanage Home. The focus of the Isabelo Orphanage

Home is to create as near to a family environment as possible.

10

All Care Workers recruited have to demonstrate capability, commitment and love. Formal education is not as

essential as an understanding of children and a nurturing nature. Recruitment has been very much by word of mouth.

The Isabelo Orphanage Home operates a shift system to ensure 24/7 care for the children, but tries to accommodate,

where possible, the religious and domestic needs of its staff.

All necessary training is carried out as required, but a more formal training program for these young adults and for

staff development in general, is also a key objective.

There is a progressive and significant movement towards the creation of a staff organizational ‘hierarchy’ which will

ensure that there are clear delegated responsibilities. This will enable a more structured ‘cover’ system for staff

absences, better succession planning and is a key milestone in the objective of delegating day to day management of

the Home.

The department of Social Development encourages a ratio of 1:6 in care workers positions, which means for every 1

caregiver there should be 6 children. The same ratio is also applied when it comes to cooks.

We have adopted that philosophy in our operations that the ratios are good for service level arrangements and use

them in how we structured the work flow.

11.2 Working in shifts

We have adopted the idea that all caregivers should work in shifts and therefore have divided them into three groups,

these groups will work on a rotation system that allows all of them throughout a month to work day and night shifts.

This is done to allow for maximize the potential for full time supervision and full time remedial actions when matters of

emergency and behavior show.

11

The children that come through center come from diverse and often emotionally damaging backgrounds as such the

potential for acting out in the initial phase of assimilation. Therefore we know that the need for alert full time personnel

is critical for maintaining harmony and tranquility.

11.3 Future Posts

We seek to add a full-time nurse in the coming months to make sure that the safety and health needs of the children

are taken care of in a manner that isn’t intrusive and further victimizing to the kids.

11.3.1 Skills Development for stuff

Our business is to raise children that will be effective contributors to their community, nation and the world as a

whole. We therefore focus our skills development on making sure that you stuff, volunteers, management and

leadership continually develop. We focus on making sure that our efforts work towards developing an expert level of

knowledge. The skills we focus on are:

Personal Skills

Interpersonal Skills

Presentation Skills

Leadership Skills

Professional Skills

11.3.1.1 Personal Skills

Personal skills are the skills that are needed to maintain a healthy body and mind. These skills are essential building

blocks for all other skills. Learn some key skills in this area helps in feeling more energized, having a healthier self-

image, be more motivated and increases a person’s self-confidence.

11.3.1.2 Interpersonal Skills

These are the skills used when dealing with other people, either as individuals or in groups. We all have interpersonal

skills but most people recognize that some people are better than others at utilizing them. Learning how to develop

Interpersonal Skills is essential to our work.

11.3.1.3 Presentation Skills

Learning how to plan, organize, write and deliver a presentation is an essential trait in all our stuff, we therefore

embed this in all our training to improve our stuff’s presentation skills and reduce their nerves when delivering to a

group.

11.3.1.4 Leadership Skills

Whether we like it or not, at some point in our lives we will almost certainly need some fundamental leadership skills,

this is no deferent of us and the people that work for us. We hope through our programs our stuff learn to be more

charismatic and a successful leader.

11.3.1.5 Professional Skills

These skills are specialized as per function and position within the organization, they come through on the job training

and other forms of formal and non-formal training.

11.3.2 How we put it all together

11.3.2.1 Objectives

The objectives of the Knowledge and Skills Transfer Strategy include:

12

Establish a strategy for the transfer of knowledge and skills related to the new technology.

Identify roles and responsibilities for establishing and maintaining a knowledge and skill base.

Establish policies and procedures to ensure communication of feedback, improvements and enhancements,

upgrades, etc.

Identify types of knowledge that needs to be shared, stored, and tracked.

11.3.2.2 Tools

To meet or objectives we employ the following tools:

Succession Planning

Massive Open Online Courses

11.3.2.2.1 Succession Planning

Effective succession planning is about ensuring leadership continuity and building talent by implementing strategies

to identify and develop high-potential employees within the organization. Succession planning demonstrates a

genuine commitment to the development of the existing workforce and to ensuring that employees have the skills,

experience and knowledge to meet changing work requirements.

The benefits of succession planning include the creation of a diverse talent pool, retention of valued employees, a

saving in the cost and time of external personnel searches, an improvement in morale and reduced effects of

restructuring.

The philosophy of succession planning aims to foster communication to exchange expertise and innovative

techniques and to provide a vehicle for the development of the skills of employees.

Our succession planning process should begin with an informed evaluation of the knowledge and skills required for

success in a particular job. Then we undertake accurate assessments and evaluations of employee’s knowledge and

skills which would be matched against the target profile. The final step is the creation of development plans to close

any gaps between target profiles and current employee profiles.

Our Succession plan is focused on:

Employee interchange

Mentoring arrangements

Coaching of employees

A forward-thinking internal promotion policies

Supporting employees to take increased responsibility in the context of work unit tasks

11.3.2.2.2 MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses)

A MOOC is a new knowledge and networking method aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.

In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets many MOOCs provide

interactive user forums to support community interactions between students, professors, and teaching

assistants (TAs).

11.3.2.2.2.1 Benefits of a MOOC

You can organize a MOOC in any setting that has connectivity (which can include the Web, but also local

connections via Wi-Fi e.g.)

You can organize it in any language (taking into account the main language of your target audience)

You can use any online tools that are relevant to your target region or that are already being used by

the participants

You can move beyond time zones and physical boundaries

It can be organized as quickly as you can inform the participants (which makes it a powerful format for

priority learning in e.g. aid relief)

13

Contextualized content can be shared by all

Learning happens in a more informal setting, at a place of your convenience and often around your own

schedule.

Learning can also happen incidentally thanks to the unknown knowledge that pops up as the course

participants start to exchange notes on the course’s study

You can connect across disciplines and corporate/institutional walls

You don’t need a degree to follow the course, only the willingness to learn (at high speed)

You add to your own personal learning environment and/or network by participating in a MOOC

You will improve your lifelong learning skills, for participating in a MOOC forces you to think about your own

learning and knowledge absorption

11.4 The Children

Nearly every government in the world has promised to protect, respect and fulfill the rights of children. In South Africa

for these rights to be realized there needs to be a deeper commitment to who we want our children to be, not just

what we want them to be.

Our organization accommodates:

19 Boys

19 Girls

8 Toddlers

The minimum age we have is age is 1 month and the oldest child we can accommodate is 18 years old

We serve interests of:

Destitute Children

Neglected Children

Abused Children

Abandoned Children

11.5 The Service Provided

The services we provided are:

Counselling

Family Reunification

Developmental Programs

Recreational Programs

11.6 Facility

The home is made up of two houses on the premises

The first house is a:

3 bedroom house, the bedrooms are exceptionally spacious

the two houses.

We have a big yard for playing and sports activities.

We also have working relationships with nearby schools and clubs for enrolment of children into extra mural activities.

15

12 OUR FUTURE

12.1 Education

In this world the key to success is no longer what you know but how well you can adapt your mind to new knowledge

and the speed at which you can assimilate information and manipulate that information.

We therefore know that the importance of education and fitting an educational facility and node into the design and

layout of the orphanage.

We therefore want to build a study and library area that supports both the foundational skills of literacy and numeracy,

along with the demands of a global economy, which require that learners are curious, self-directed, and able to work

across platforms. The five elements that will be a guideline to this facility or node will be:

Supporting teaching and learning

Maximizing physical comfort and well-being

Demonstrating environmental responsibility

Serving the community

The facility or node should work better, last longer, cost less to renovate and maintain, and inspire and adapt

to changing needs

12.2 Play

Through play we learn and gain more insight into what feelings and how these feelings manifest in behavior or the

children through expressions in their body. It makes it easier for the Social Worker working with the Caregivers to

understand how a child should be directed and supported. It can also help the children learn how to become better at

regulating emotions and expressing them in constructive ways. They can discover who they are and what their strong

and weak points, needs, wishes, thoughts and dreams are. The combination of this self-knowledge and training in

social skills by the Social Worker may help a child to become more assertive, self-confident and to have self-respect

and respect for others.

For these reasons we also want to build a mini sports facility for the children that would have a combination of the

following sports on it:

Tennis

Basketball

Mini Soccer

For the younger children and toddlers a jungle gym would serve to meet their physical and developmental needs.

12.3 Land

We are currently located at 551 Houtkapper Street, Daleside, next door to us is a vacant lot. This vacant stand has

made it our plans for the future as we wish in time to expend and extend the impact of our services and home.

We want to be able to buy it, this would help us incredibly in increasing the size of our facility and the reach of our

facility.

The stand is currently valued at approximately R150 000.00

13 FUNDRAISING AND PUBLICITY

As explained above a major source of funds for the setting up and running of the home came from private donations

with a subsidy for the department of social development.

Our the web site, is updated regularly and provides readers, sponsors and donors with great, often very emotional,

insights into the daily activities of the Home. Donors are able to see how their money has so often dramatically

improved the lives of so many children.

We will also be incorporating social networking sites to play an increasing role in informing and attracting

sponsors/volunteers to the home. Our Facebook page will provides daily updates and elicits global interest. Such

valuable interactions will also be extended to Twitter and LinkedIn.

We will also be vocal on issues relating to child safety and child orientated issues with the media, by participating in

TV shows and other medium of mass communication.

Our Administration team will also continue to send out regular internet Newsletters to our mailing list. They will also

be very active in fundraising activities. Work is also being directed towards acquiring a degree of ‘corporate’

sponsorship with South African companies and schools many of whom choose a charity annually to whom their

charitable activities are focused.

15 OUR REQUEST

To achieve our objectives and vision we need help, we rely heavily on private sponsorship and donations. We have

gotten much support in way of clothes for the kids from private donors but we still need more.

We therefore request sponsorship or support in the following areas:

The Physical Needs of the Children

o Food

20

o Clothing

o Play

The Intellectual Needs of the Children

o Books

o Computers

o Cultural Activities

For us to make sure that we can fulfill these basic needs and those mentioned in our “How we work section”, we

need:

A Mini Bus Tax

o This would enable us to be able to take to extra mural activities and other play, sport and

educational related activists

Kitchen Equipment

o This is critical to providing a healthy and safe environment for the preparation of food and

dramatically cut down on preparation and cooking time

A constant supply of toiletries and personal grooming material for the children

A constant supply of food and nutritious snacking options

Bedding and linen

Clothes, our children grow up quickly and thus they our grow their current clothes quickly

Cleaning equipment, this will help us maintain a healthy and living standard that is good for the children and

also cut down on the current time being spent cleaning

Stuffing, we need hands to help us build what we envision as a future for our children.

Any support that can help us cater and eliminate any of these needs will be greatly appreciated.
