Likoni
My family left Eritrea 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Likoni. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August. I was a pharmacist 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. Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $650 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $300 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $70 • Language classes and bus passes: $50 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $30 If you're reading this, thank you. - Daniel

  1. 29% there. the plan for phone and internet for school and job search is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Update from Likoni: the plan for rent deposit and first month is now scheduled. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) the plan for rent deposit and first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
