A fresh start in Kisumu: help the Bakr family resettle
The Bakr family are rebuilding in Kisumu after leaving Syria; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kenya607 views
My family left Syria 9 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kisumu. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in June.
I was a shopkeeper in Syria, 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 $400 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $100
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $115
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $155
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
