Butoke depends on your support to pursue its work
As an NGO
working in a neglected part of the world, Butoke is reliant on personal
contributions and sacrifices from its own members, from the people and
communities it supports, and from benefactors overseas, including
individuals, non-government organizations, and official donor agencies such
as CIDA and UNICEF. Butoke is
fortunate to benefit from the services of Dr. Cécile de Sweemer, who is a
high level professional with 50 years of experience working in developing
countries, and who is donating her time and efforts and what remains of her
pension after living expenses, to Butoke. Butoke’s Congolese professional
staff work for modest salaries, ranging from $US75 to $US250 per month. |
