Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Entebbe
After fleeing Iraq, the Sahin family has arrived in Entebbe with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Iraq 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Entebbe. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in February.
I was an electrician in Iraq, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $260
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $100
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $60
• Language classes and bus passes: $60
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $20
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Entebbe.
