The fire in the settlement hit Riverside village on 4 September. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $390
• Clean water and purification supplies: $105
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $195
• Food parcels for displaced families: $300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $210
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best
Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Ssebuliba. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
