Back to business - Juma's comeback in Arusha

A street-food cart in Arusha needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a break-in.

Arusha
For three years I have run a street-food cart in Arusha. In August, a break-in took a gas stove and two refrigerators. 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 7 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 $650 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $450 • Initial stock: ingredients: $75 • Shop repairs and licensing: $45 • Working capital for the first month: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
