Kasarani
My family left Sudan 5 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kasarani. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in May. I was an engineer in Sudan, 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 $550 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $30 • Language classes and bus passes: $115 • Rent deposit and first month: $240 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $165 Glad we found this place. - Janet
