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

My family left Sudan 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nairobi. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was an electrician 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 $500 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $85
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $50
• Rent deposit and first month: $290
• Language classes and bus passes: $75
With deep gratitude,
Ouma

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ouma
Winter clothing and school supplies is $85 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
take care, Ouma. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Dnipro but we're thinking of you.
hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Lucknow.
Hope things get better soon, Ouma. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Comilla
