A fresh start in Addis Ababa: help the Yusuf family resettle

My family left Ethiopia 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Addis Ababa. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a mechanic 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 Addis Ababa Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $400 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $160 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $95 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $80 • Language classes and bus passes: $55 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $10 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Birtukan
