Dhaka
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. We're a family of four 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 an electrician in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 Dhaka Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $600 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $280 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $160 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $45 • Language classes and bus passes: $95 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $20 Thank you so much. - Mim

Updates from Mim

  1. Update from Dhaka: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($61 in total) the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($15). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. - Mim
