Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Embakasi
After fleeing Eritrea, the Hashemi family has arrived in Embakasi with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Eritrea 10 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Embakasi. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was an electrician in Eritrea, 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 $700 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
• Language classes and bus passes: $95
• Rent deposit and first month: $330
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $245
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Waweru. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless!
