Back to business - Adewale's comeback in Nnewi
A roadside café in Nnewi needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after floodwater.
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria1,315 views
For six years I have run a roadside café in Nnewi. In May, floodwater took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $370
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Nnewi.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Mangaluru so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Adewale. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
