Keep the electricity on at Rakib's home in Dhaka

Help Rakib cover an overdue electricity bill so the household stays safe this the cold months.

The electricity account is 4 months behind. Rakib received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on March unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before my partner leaving the household. Rakib 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 the cold months without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Rakib is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rakib's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: β€’ Water arrears: $75 β€’ Reconnection and late fees: $10 β€’ Down payment on a payment plan: $15 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Dola
