The Problem
The Proposal
The Payoff
The Project
What Andy has verified:
- Pastor John is a real person with a real church and a real ministry among Ebola widows and orphans in Liberia
- The Christian Community Fellowship is a registered NGO in Liberia, holds weekly meetings, and has baptized members of a congregation under the direction of John Fefegula and his wife
- The school building is currently under construction
- There is a need for a school that can provide free education to Ebola orphans in the community
- Prices noted on the budget request are reasonable based on local market rates for labor and materials
What donors should verify from Pastor John:
- Who owns the land on which the school is being built?
- Who will run the school once it is complete? How will it be operated to ensure quality education?
- How will the school be financed year over year to ensure the school remains fee-free for ebola orphans in the community?
What Africa Heartwood Project is doing to help:
AHP will accept donations on behalf of Pastor John so that US-based donors can take advantage of tax deductions through our 501c3 status. We will:
- provide a donation receipt for contributions made by check or through PayPal
- send all funds received (less donation processing fees charged by the payment method, and electronic money transfer fees) to Pastor John
- provide an AHP staff member to accompany Pastor John to purchase construction materials for which donations have been given
- follow up on construction status periodically and post photos to this page when available
Note that because this is not an Africa Heartwood Project program we cannot guarantee transparency or accountability of use of funds once they have been transferred to Pastor John. Donors are encouraged to communicate directly with Pastor John to follow up on how their donation has been used to build the school.
