The Mukiza family fled Ethiopia - help them rebuild in Lahore
After fleeing Ethiopia, the Mukiza family has arrived in Lahore with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan815 views
My family left Ethiopia 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. 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 May.
I was an engineer 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 $450 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $200
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $85
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $80
• Language classes and bus passes: $50
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $35
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Saima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
