The Rahimi family fled Syria - help them rebuild in Kisumu

After fleeing Syria, the Rahimi family has arrived in Kisumu with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Kisumu
My family left Syria 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kisumu. 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 October. I was an electrician in Syria, 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 $350 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $85 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $60 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $145 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
