We are setting up a business to be run by staff and older students to help boost our local funding base. We want to encourage less dependence on donations so our young generation learn to work. Our aim is to invest AU$40,000 in cultivating, buying and milling produce to meet our own needs and for sale to the wider community for profit. This will be invested in schools and children at risk for a chance to have education, medication and shelter.

Great news:  Donations to Project J965N Bushfire  Childrens Future from 7 September 2017 are now eligible as Tax Deductions in Australia.  Also recently recognised by the NZ Government as eligible  Tax Deductions in New Zealand. This requires Bushfire to have strict financial controls to ensure funds are spent on the intended purposes and that Child Protection processes are in-place.  Global Development Group (globaldevelopment.org.au) administer, transfer funds, audit, provide receipts and reports for a fee of 7.5%. Global Development is recognised by both the the Australian and New Zealand Governments as an authorised provider of such services and act for many Charities & NFP organisations in many countries. Since donations for personal or evangelistic purposes are not considered Tax Deductible, in which case contact samuelkitalya@gmail.com  directly.  Activities indicated above such as sponsorship or programmes are included.
