Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Eldoret
After fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Bakr family has arrived in Eldoret with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya776 views
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 6 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Eldoret. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well.
We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $230
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $120
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $105
• Language classes and bus passes: $55
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Eldoret.
