Back on our feet: Namukasa and four children in Likoni
A single father in Likoni needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Namukasa retrains.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya1,831 views
Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $400 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
• Childcare and after-school care: $205
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending love, Namukasa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Namukasa. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
