The Sahin family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Nairobi

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

Nairobi
My family left Venezuela 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. 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 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a farmer in Venezuela, 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: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $60 • Language classes and bus passes: $60 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $260 • Rent deposit and first month: $270 With deep gratitude, Rose
