Keep the electricity and water on at Barasa's home in Jinja

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Barasa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Barasa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $10 first, which isn't available. The household includes a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Barasa is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Barasa's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Heating arrears: $60 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 With deep gratitude, Wanjiru
