A fresh start in Embakasi: help the Haddad family resettle

My family left Somalia 13 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Embakasi. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a teacher in Somalia, 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $800 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $410 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $175 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $110 • Language classes and bus passes: $75 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $30 Thank you for reading my story. - Faith
