Cairo
For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Cairo. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $700 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $480 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $95 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $65 I hope life is good to you.
