The Shevchenko family fled Ethiopia - help them rebuild in Kasarani

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

Kasarani

My family left Ethiopia 11 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kasarani. 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 July. I was an electrician 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 Kasarani Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $250 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $55 • Language classes and bus passes: $75 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $120 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kariuki
