Kinondoni
The fire in the market hit the Riverside settlement on 29 March. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $600 goes: โ€ข Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $150 โ€ข Clean water and purification supplies: $90 โ€ข Food parcels for displaced families: $260 โ€ข Tools and labor for repairs: $100 Thank you so much.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kiprop

        • Kiprop Victor KessyOwnerAnswerID verified

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. bedding, blankets and mattresses comes first ($150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
