Back to business - Halima's comeback in Lagos
Halima has run a fish stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Lagos. In July, 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 $250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $135
• Initial stock: the first catch: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
