The flood hit Old Town village on 30 August. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $970
• Clean water and purification supplies: $990
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Richards Bay
any update on how things are going in Las Cruces?
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in New Mexico. I'll ask around and let you know.
Take care, Greyson. It takes guts to ask. Well done
