Eldoret
My family left Myanmar 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Eldoret. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a mechanic in Myanmar, 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 Eldoret Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $750 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $330 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $195 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $60 • Language classes and bus passes: $105 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.
