Embakasi
My family left Myanmar 6 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Embakasi. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was an electrician in Myanmar, 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 Embakasi Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $650 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $55 • Rent deposit and first month: $290 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $230 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $75 Glad we found this place. - Daniel
