Eldoret
The landslide hit the Greenfield district on 13 August. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 11 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 $1,050 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $270 • Roofing sheets and timber: $650 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $130 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from John

  1. Update from Eldoret: I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. We're at 60% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($115). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families.
