A fresh start in Adama: help the Rahimi family resettle

My family left Ethiopia 9 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Adama. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a shopkeeper in Ethiopia, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well. We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months. Funds are managed by the Adama Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $550 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $250 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $165 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $50 • Language classes and bus passes: $35 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Wegayehu
