Embakasi

My family left Myanmar 5 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Embakasi. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a shopkeeper in Myanmar, 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $850 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $480 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $120 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $75 • Language classes and bus passes: $110 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $65 Thank you for reading my story. - Sarah
