🇹🇿 14102, Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania720 views
The flood hit Sunrise village on 7 September. My home was one of 33 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 $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $560
• Clean water and purification supplies: $65
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95
• Food parcels for displaced families: $280
• Tools and labor for repairs: $200
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Achieng. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kinondoni
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kinondoni
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Half-Way Tree this morning. Greetings from Half-Way Tree
So sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up. All the best
Thinking of you, Achieng. Great idea, hope you get there
Sending strength, Achieng. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from La Plata
you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Kinondoni
Praying for you, Achieng. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Lviv this morning.
