The Sahin family fled Yemen - help them rebuild in Thika
After fleeing Yemen, the Sahin family has arrived in Thika with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.
🇰🇪 Thika, Kiambu, Kenya748 views
My family left Yemen 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Thika. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a pharmacist 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $500 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $40
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $105
• Rent deposit and first month: $250
• Language classes and bus passes: $105

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wangari?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about phone and internet for school and job search, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
praying for you, Wangari. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Thika.
