A fresh start in Islamabad: help the Rahimi family resettle

Help a family of 8 start their new life in Islamabad: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

Islamabad
My family left Yemen 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Islamabad. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a teacher in Yemen, 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 Islamabad Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $450 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $130 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $160 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $65 • Language classes and bus passes: $70 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.

    keep going, Afshan. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
