Back to business - Eunice's comeback in Entebbe

Eunice has run a roadside café for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

Entebbe
For nine years I have run a roadside café in Entebbe. In November, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $250 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $55 • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $135 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $60 If you're reading this, thank you. - Eunice

    Keep going, Eunice. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Abdullah Sami Mebarek

      good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
