A fresh start in Entebbe: help the Rahimi family resettle
After fleeing Afghanistan, the Rahimi family has arrived in Entebbe with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Entebbe. We're a family of five 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 mechanic in Afghanistan, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $230
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $75
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $50
• Language classes and bus passes: $35
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.
