Likoni
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Likoni. In July, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. 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 $650 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $360 • Initial stock: the first catch: $110 • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 • Working capital for the first month: $125 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
