Kakamega
My family left Ukraine 5 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kakamega. We're a family of four 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 farmer in Ukraine, 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 Kakamega Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $700 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $80 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $55 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $165 • Rent deposit and first month: $400 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Odhiambo

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Odhiambo.

      Language classes and bus passes is $80 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

  • Sending strength, Odhiambo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
