The Yusuf family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Barcelona
Help a family of 7 start their new life in Barcelona: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇪🇸 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain1,937 views
My family left Sudan 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Barcelona. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a teacher in Sudan, 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 Barcelona Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $320
• Language classes and bus passes: $370
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,150
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $110
