In the medium term: (2-5 Years)

• To expand the project from being just an orphanage and organic farming school and farm business, into a model village where traditional values, social structure, and self help philosophies are revived, and used alongside modern agro-business management techniques, to ensure a good standard of life for all those involved.
  
  Note* A proper social structure includes bringing in older disadvantaged people (who have no children of their own to support them) to be a part of orphanage community.
  These older people will earn a salary and will contribute their knowledge of life, and their acquired skills, to the benefit of the younger people who may or may not have parents or grandparents of their own.
  
  
  • To establish a viable community development model for other provincial resorts to follow.
    
    

The potential benefit to uplifting of the disadvantaged is enormous

In long term: (5-8 Years)

The long-term goal of the orphanage is to branch out and establish itself internationally. However, this is a long-term goal and for the moment, BKF will concentrate on providing for the first 30 children and related outreach children under its care.

• It is hoped that orphans who have successfully passed through the orphanage's training program will become future sponsors and volunteers. In this way, every year a new generation of children will enter the orphanage, but a new generation of sponsors will also graduate.

D. Target Population/ Location
The orphanage will be located in Kinshasa Congo in sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of orphans and displaced children exist and consequently our services are most needed. The foundation will recruit and train volunteers and paid workers in the community to manage the orphanage and its children

E. Key Staff
Primarily volunteer members of the community will run the orphanage. The permanent staff will be limited to 8 as indicated by the following

Fig. 1: Paid Staff and their Salaries

Our staff, board members, and the community will provide volunteer work for our orphanage projects and community activities. Our Board of Directors will serve on community boards, charities, churches and other community service organizations.

In addition, BKF will foster, build and maintain strong bonds and relationships with the community-based organizations of our community, as well as the local counsels, to deliver a multiplicity of programs and services to the residents of our orphanage.

IV. Plan for Measuring Project Results

We will submit a project report upon the completion of each fiscal year starting in 2004/5.

We will keep detailed accurate, complete records of expenditures made under the BKF grant, and participate actively in the evaluation of project activities during the course of the 2004/5 fiscal years.

Upon request, we will the provide an audited financial statement of the income and expenditure related to the grant by an independent certified public accountant as documentation that the grant money is spent on the purposes for which it was provided.
Further, evaluation of BKF's overall effectiveness as an orphanage manager will be measured by the residents' satisfaction, and the level of successful tenant services provided. Our tenants serve on our Board of Directors. The board meets monthly, and is closely involved with our programs, management, and oversight.

V. Management of Orphanage
BKF will be managed by Society of St. Vincent de Paul Kinshasa Conference. These trustees will have the best interests of the children at heart. The board will review the progress of the children but will primarily focus on management, financial and legal issues that affect the orphanage. The board will also been provide checks and balances between management and other stakeholders. Day-to-day management will be vested in a management team selected by the board. Matters are decided by vote, quorum constituting 50% of all members plus one.
