Keep a roof over Kiprop's head in Entebbe
The closure of the factory left Kiprop short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda762 views
When the bakery closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $360
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90

Thanks for sharing this, Kiprop. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Greetings from Surat.
Take care, Kiprop. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Entebbe.
