Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Jimma

After fleeing Ethiopia, the Petrenko family has arrived in Jimma with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Jimma
My family left Ethiopia 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Jimma. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in February. I was an engineer in Ethiopia, 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 the Jimma Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $455 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $270 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $75 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $45 • Language classes and bus passes: $60 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
