Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Kampala
Help a family of 8 start their new life in Kampala: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇬 Central Region, Uganda964 views
My family left Eritrea 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kampala. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a shopkeeper 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $310
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $90
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $50
• Language classes and bus passes: $70
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Rome this morning. Take care.
Stay strong, Kimani. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Badagry donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Sending love, Kimani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
