Keep the electricity on at Barasa's home in Kampala

Barasa is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in November and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Barasa received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on February unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in November. Barasa called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which isn't available. The household includes two young children, and going through winter without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. Barasa is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $20 • Down payment on a payment plan: $50 Every share and every dollar helps. - Eunice
