The landslide hit Eastgate village on 8 June. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $1,650 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $850 • Clean water and purification supplies: $130 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $190 • Food parcels for displaced families: $105 • Tools and labor for repairs: $375 Glad we found this place. - Beatrice

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($453 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
