Back to business - Ochieng's comeback in Kasarani

Kasarani
For four years I have run a laundry service in Kasarani. In July, floodwater took two washing machines and a dryer. 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 5 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 $700 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $510 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $80 • Shop repairs and licensing: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ochieng
