Back to business - Irene's comeback in Kumasi
Irene lost a commercial oven to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $300 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇬🇭 AK-070-2506, Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana862 views
For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kumasi. In September, a storm that collapsed the roof took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $75
• Replacing a commercial oven: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope you get there. We're a small family in Guadalupe but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Kumasi
