Likoni

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Likoni. In December, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $600 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $310 • Initial stock: the first catch: $165 • Shop repairs and licensing: $50 • Working capital for the first month: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
