Back to business - Hauwa's comeback in Epe
Hauwa has run a phone repair counter for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria864 views
For nine years I have run a phone repair counter in Epe. In August, the demolition of the market took a soldering station and testing tools. 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 3 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 $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Epe.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Nashville but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Hauwa. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless
You're not alone, Hauwa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Edinburgh.
