Keep the water on at Amani's home in Kinondoni

Amani is behind on water bills after an unexpected car repair and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. Amani received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless $100 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Amani 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 a newborn, and going through winter without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Amani is working on getting back on her 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 $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $55 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $30 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from James

  1. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Small update. $20 so far, the plan for reconnection and late fees is now scheduled.
