Back to business - Aisha's comeback in Fort Portal
Aisha has run a phone repair counter for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Fort Portal. In May, a break-in took a soldering station and testing tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $105
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Aisha. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Zanzibar City
any update on how things are going in Fort Portal?
Wishing you peace, Aisha. Looking forward to the next update.
Wishing you the best, Aisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Málaga.
