Back to business - Mwanaisha's comeback in Dar es Salaam
Mwanaisha lost a full set of tools to floodwater and needs $550 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.

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.
