Keep the heating on at Otieno's home in Embakasi
Otieno is behind on heating bills after a reduction in hours and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.
🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya1,196 views
The heating account is 4 months behind. Otieno received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $150 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours.
Otieno called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
Otieno is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady.
Every dollar goes to the account in Otieno's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $150 goes:
• Heating arrears: $100
• Reconnection and late fees: $10
• Down payment on a payment plan: $40
