Back to business - Ifeoma's comeback in Benin City

For nine years I have run a roadside café in Benin City. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, 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: $45 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $165 With deep gratitude, Ifeoma
