The Bakr family fled Syria - help them rebuild in Dhaka

After fleeing Syria, 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 Syria 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. We're a family of seven 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 nurse in Syria, 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 Dhaka Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $400 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $50 • Rent deposit and first month: $210 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $130 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $10 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sumaiya

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 44% funded and I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($82). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
