policy to deploy funds for caregiver living
and education grants to help subsidise the
costs of education and general living for both
the staff and children at the Huaymulai
Childrens Home.
This policy is details in our policy document
to which the policy statement is as follows:
The Kvell Project, pursuant to the goal of
relieving poverty and bettering the livelihood
for the young people of Burma (see para.3 of| the “The Kvell Project Constitution v.5”), hereby acknowledges that the committed assistance of those caregivers at the Huaymulai children’s home form the bedrock of support for all those young people living under their care. We further acknowledge that many of these full-time caregivers devote their time and service often without monetary reward and live in poverty themselves, sacrificing their own needs for the benefit of the children. We therefore are committed to creating and sustaining a careworkers fund which will work to supplement salaries and/or subsidise some living costs of these careworkers by way of a “living wage” financial support agreement. This policy will be pursued with the belief that relieving poverty and allowing those young children and their caregivers access to basic rights and amenities are at the foundation of universal human rights. Therefore, it is understood that it is within the remit of this charity to relieve poverty through financial support if possible.
