The landslide hit the Millbrook settlement on 19 November. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $800 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $170
• Clean water and purification supplies: $210
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145
• Food parcels for displaced families: $275
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Ssebuliba
Small update. $179 so far, I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Nairobi: I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($154). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families.

Sending love, Ssebuliba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Cairo donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Ssebuliba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
