Keep the electricity on at Segun's home in Zaria

Segun is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in July and needs $50 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $50. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $20 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without electricity isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Segun's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $50 goes: • Water arrears: $35 • Reconnection and late fees: $10 • Down payment on a payment plan: $5 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Segun

    Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Zaria.
