Back to business - Jide's comeback in Epe
Jide has run a fish stall for fifteen years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria272 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Epe. In July, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $330
• Initial stock: the first catch: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
