Back to business - Florence's comeback in Eldoret
Florence has run a bicycle repair shop for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya456 views
For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Eldoret. In August, the demolition of the market took a full set of tools. 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 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 $550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $130
• Replacing a full set of tools: $400
• Shop repairs and licensing: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

rooting for you, Florence. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
