Back on our feet: Akello and four children in Dar es Salaam
A single father in Dar es Salaam needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Akello retrains.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania757 views
Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $300 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Sheffield.
Sending good thoughts, Akello. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.
take care, Akello. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Dar es Salaam

Stay strong, Akello. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
