1200 Club

One of our greatest needs at Royal Promise is to have a consistent flow of donations coming in to cover our monthly budgets for each of our campuses in Asikuma and Cape Coast. Our 1200 Club membership, which is a recurring commitment to give $100/month or more, helps to meet this monthly budget need, which provides for the following

Food, basic care, and school fees for the children living at our mission centers, such as Bismark (pictured in the first photo on the left), who lives at our mission center in Asikuma.  Due to a medical condition, Bismark’s mother abandoned him after his father had passed away from illness.  Bismark is one of the children who is under our full care and is relying on our organization to help him to have a hope and a future. We currently have close to 40 children living at our center in Asikuma under our care, and seven children at our center in Cape Coast - with that number on its way up and growing as we begin a new partnership there with social welfare. Cases of vulnerable children in each of these communities continue to be placed before us for help, and we want to not only have the means to provide for these children, but to provide for them well. Expenses, such as trips to the doctor for sickness, bed sheets, replacing torn school uniforms, bathing supplies, toilet paper, laundry washing powder, toothpaste, school supplies, not to mention offering three hearty meals a day, add up quickly.

Staff salaries. Our first highest expense each month is salaries for our Ghanaian staff members. This is a central component to any work we are doing in-country, as it is always our aim to empower and employ the locals and community members.  Our current payout for these salaries is $4200/month, which includes our in-country directors, mission center directors and assistant directors, house mothers, part-time staff, cooks for our mission centers and school, school headmaster, school teachers, security guards, farming supervisor, farm helps, and tutors for the children at our centers.  Our employees have taken ownership of our programs which are run the “Ghanaian way”, and we work together to come up with ideas, progressive strategies, and to sharpen and encourage one another along the way.  

Facility expenses and maintenance for each of our campuses. These aren’t as fun to mention, but these bills have to be paid, nonetheless, in order for us to provide shelter, electricity and water to those we are caring for. We also do not yet own our beautiful campus in Cape Coast, and so a lease payment is due each month to the owner whom we are purchasing it from. Additionally, we face normal maintenance needs like plumbing issues, upkeep of the grounds, and consistent purchasing of cleaning supplies like mops, bleach, and paint to keep our campuses operating at a standard of excellence.
