Flood in Mwanza: help Northside village rebuild
Neighbors in Northside village are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇹🇿 Mwanza, Mwanza, Tanzania1,709 views
The flood hit Northside village on 28 August. My home was one of 28 damaged, and 4 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $650 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $100
• Roofing sheets and timber: $370
• Clean water and purification supplies: $110
• Tools and labor for repairs: $70
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Onyango. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Take care.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
