The cost of living for one month in S.C.A.O
Since its creation in December 2007, S.C.A.O. has evolved quickly thanks to the help of volunteers. There is still much more to do.
Please note that some of those projected works might be done on your visit. Take a look at the the News section to keep up to date.
| 17 children, 2 teachers, 1 director, 6 staff and 1 cook | ||
| Day | Month | |
| Electricity | $12 / month | |
| Water | $2 / day | $60 / month |
| Rice | $112.5 / 225 kg a month | |
| Fruit | $2 / day | $60 / month |
| Other food | $20 / day | $600 / month |
| Money for school (all the kids) | $8 / day | $240 / month |
| Total per month | $1,084.50 | |
Unfortunately, the price of rice and food has been increasing every day for the last few months.
Currently, we have 4 English classes a day for 90-100 children. This make it difficult to supply enough writing books, pens, pencils, fruits and snacks. These items are needed in order to keep our English project alive.
