As many of you know, the House of Flowers was in a funding crisis at the end of 2012. The staff showed their true dedication to the children by absorbing a reduction of the budget and taking a salary cut until we were able to financially stabilize the House’s situation. Thanks to the enormous outpouring from donors , we have managed to pull back from the brink and are now feeling much more stable.
So last week we told the staff that beginning next month (March) they will each get a solid raise. This is to help them deal with the steadily increasing cost of living in Kabul as well as recognize their full dedication to the children.
This increases the annual House budget to nearly $70,000. Click here to see the full budget and explanation.
We are continuing to raise funds since we are not yet at our annual goal, so please, help out in any way you can. We are especially looking for people who are willing to commit to a level of monthly support.
