The fire in the settlement hit the Lakeview district on 10 August. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $600 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $105
• Tools and labor for repairs: $180
• Food parcels for displaced families: $315
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best, Salim. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
How is Salim doing now?
hope things get better soon, Salim. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Salim. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Salim.
Clean water and purification supplies is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
sending good thoughts, Salim. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Likoni.
You're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours.
praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
