The Okonkwo family fled Ethiopia - help them rebuild in Entebbe
After fleeing Ethiopia, the Okonkwo family has arrived in Entebbe with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ethiopia 9 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Entebbe. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in April.
I was a nurse 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 $650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $280
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $220
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $55
• Language classes and bus passes: $40
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
