TEACHERS SALARIES FUND
We are urgently seeking your support to actualize the 25K Teachers Salaries Fund.
ECDA (École Communautaire de Duverger d'Aquin) is committed to providing quality education to the community. To secure the future of our educational programs, we are embarking on a fundraising campaign to create a salary fund for our teachers. We are currently facing financial challenges that are affecting the salaries of our current four dedicated teachers. To ensure the sustainability of our educational programs and to enhance the overall pedagogical environment, we are seeking your support to raise $25,000.
According to salaryexplorer.com, the average hourly wage for Elementary School Teachers in Haiti is 250 HTG. However, ECDA (École Communautaire de Duverger d'Aquin) currently pays its teachers only 31 HTG per hour. This is a stark difference, with the current pay being 8 times lower than the average hourly wage for Elementary School Teachers in Haiti. In essence, what a teacher should earn for an hour of work at the average rate, an ECDA teacher receives for a day of work.
To provide a comparative perspective, according to statista.com, the federally mandated minimum wage in the United States is 7.25 U.S. dollars per hour. This means that one minimum hour's pay in the US can cover almost a week of work for a teacher at ECDA.
Considering ECDA's financial constraints, where even the current underpaid salaries for the existing four teachers are a challenge, the school committee urgently seeks your support. The goal is to establish a Teachers Salaries Fund that will ensure fair compensation for teachers over the next 5 years and facilitate the hiring of additional teachers to deliver quality education.
Here's a breakdown of the contribution needed:
- One (1) teacher requires 25 cents ($0.25) per hour or 2 dollars a day. For 5 years, this totals 2,400 USD per teacher.
- For all nine teachers needed (including the current four and five additional teachers), the total comes to 21,600 USD.
Your support is crucial in bringing the 25K Teachers Salaries Fund to fruition, and we earnestly appeal for your generous donation. While a consistent monthly contribution of 50 USD will undoubtedly help sustain our hopes, we also recognize the impact that a one-time contribution from supporters can make. Your generosity will create a meaningful difference in the lives of our dedicated teachers who are wholeheartedly committed to delivering quality education to the children in Haiti, particularly in Duverger d'Aquin. Your support will contribute to a brighter future for both teachers and students at ECDA.
