Back to business - Barasa's comeback in Kasarani
A fish stall in Kasarani needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a storm that collapsed the roof.
Anywhere in the world964 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Kasarani. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. 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 4 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 a freezer and scales: $200
• Initial stock: the first catch: $170
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $35
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Barasa
Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 17% funded and the plan for initial stock: the first catch is now scheduled.

Hope you get there. Thinking of Kasarani
Good luck, Barasa. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
