Fundraising for the YWCA Solomon Islands Kindergarten: June 2009

Make a donation online

The YWCA of Canberra is supporting YWCAs in Australia in raising funds to assist the YWCA Solomon Islands after their kindergarten was gutted by fire. We are raising funds to assist the YWCA Solomon Islands to continue to provide this important service to the community, and assist with replacing the toys and educational equipment that were lost in the fire.
 
We encourage you to consider making a donation to this cause. Even a small donation will be of great assistance to the YWCA Solomon Islands. 
 
With the end of the financial year nearing, this is the perfect time to make a tax-deductible donation to the YWCA Solomon Islands fund before June 30. Your donations over $2 will be tax deductible.
 
The YWCA Solomon Islands kindergarten was damaged by fire on Wednesday 27 May. It is with great relief that no children or staff were in the kindergarten at the time, and there were no casualties. The building was seriously damaged by the fire, but fortunately it is repairable. Damage to the building should be recoverable under insurance and through the support of the World YWCA, however funding to replace the contents of the kindergarten, such as toys and equipment, is sought.

Money raised will also go towards assisting the YWCA Solomon Islands to continue to provide the kindergarten from an alternative location until the building is repaired. 

Your support is greatly appreciated.
