Cox's Bazar
My family left Ethiopia 12 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cox's Bazar. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a teacher 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 Cox's Bazar Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $450 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $155 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $145 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $90 • Language classes and bus passes: $50 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $10 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
