Back to business - Muthoni's comeback in Dar es Salaam
Muthoni has run a barbershop for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Dar es Salaam. In May, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $125
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Muthoni. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
