Embakasi
For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Embakasi. In August, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. 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 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $430 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $130 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kiprop

        Small businesses are the heart of Embakasi. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

            Take care, Kiprop. Small businesses are the heart of Embakasi. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning. Thinking of Embakasi.
