Back to business - Kato's comeback in Fort Portal
Kato lost an espresso machine and grinder to a break-in and needs $400 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.

For six years I have run a roadside café in Fort Portal. In July, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $155
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $75
I hope life is good to you.
