The Bakr family fled Somalia - help them rebuild in Dhaka

After fleeing Somalia, the Bakr family has arrived in Dhaka with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Dhaka
My family left Somalia 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. 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 May. I was an electrician in Somalia, 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: • Language classes and bus passes: $45 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $150 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $85 • Rent deposit and first month: $220 I hope life is good to you.
