Kikuyu
My family left Afghanistan 13 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kikuyu. 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 pharmacist 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $550 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $110 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $70 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $45 • Rent deposit and first month: $325 I hope life is good to you.
