The Hosseini family fled Ethiopia - help them rebuild in Jimma

Jimma
My family left Ethiopia 6 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Jimma. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a shopkeeper in Ethiopia, 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: $270 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $80 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $100 • Language classes and bus passes: $75 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $25 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Sending strength, Selamawit. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Jimma.
