Back to business - Chebet's comeback in Kampala
A laundry service in Kampala needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a fire in the building.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda1,171 views
For six years I have run a laundry service in Kampala. In June, a fire in the building took two washing machines and a dryer. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $450 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $290
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Kampala.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Kampala.
Hope it all works out, Chebet. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Saket
