Dar es Salaam

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Dar es Salaam. In March, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $550 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $350 • Initial stock: spare parts: $40 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $100 Thanks for being kind about this. - Mwanaisha
