The Sahin family fled Ethiopia - help them rebuild in Dhaka
Help a family of 5 start their new life in Dhaka: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,888 views
My family left Ethiopia 11 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. We're a family of five 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 farmer 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.
Funds are managed by the Dhaka Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $220
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $130
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $75
• Language classes and bus passes: $55
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
