Mwanaisha has run a fish stall for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Jinja. In July, a fire in the building 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $210
• Initial stock: the first catch: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
