Nairobi
My family left Yemen 11 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nairobi. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was an electrician in Yemen, 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 Nairobi Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $550 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $145 • Rent deposit and first month: $250 • Language classes and bus passes: $110 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $45 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - James

Updates from James

  1. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
