Help Muthoni get through 4 hard months with twin daughters
A single parent in Dar es Salaam needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Muthoni retrains.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania615 views
Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $175
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.
