Eldoret
The fire in the settlement hit the Greenfield district on 1 January. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,500 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $135 • Roofing sheets and timber: $750 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $270 • Food parcels for displaced families: $345 Glad we found this place. - Wanjiru

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wanjiru.

      • Wanjiru Janet TemboOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is clean water and purification supplies, $135. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.

            Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
