A fresh start in Dhaka: help the Hashemi family resettle

After fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Hashemi family has arrived in Dhaka with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Dhaka

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. 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 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a nurse 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $450 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $210 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $150 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $45 • Language classes and bus passes: $35 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $10 Thanks for reading all this.
