Keep the water on at Bakari's home in Mombasa
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Bakari needs $100 before December.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya507 views
The water account is 2 months behind. Bakari received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before losing my job in August.
Bakari called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available.
The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by.
Bakari 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 $100 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $45
• Reconnection and late fees: $20
• Down payment on a payment plan: $35
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thanks for sharing this, James. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
