Back on our feet: Kariuki and two young children in Likoni
A single father in Likoni needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Kariuki retrains.

After a house fire in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $250
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
I hope life is good to you.
