Back to business - Obiageli's comeback in Zaria
Obiageli lost a commercial oven to a fire in the building and needs $350 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇳🇬 Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria1,056 views
For fifteen years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Zaria. In August, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $155
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Thanks for reading all this.
