Last May I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $350 goes: • Rent top-up: $190 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 • Groceries and school meals: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Rashidi

Small update. $195 so far, I made the first payment toward rent top-up.
Update from Dar es Salaam: we've started the first stage. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
