Back to business - Temitope's comeback in Ibadan
Temitope lost a soldering station and testing tools to floodwater and needs $350 to reopen a phone repair counter and support the family.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria1,160 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Ibadan. In July, floodwater took a soldering station and testing tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $220
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($248 in total) the plan for replacing a soldering station and testing tools is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Temitope. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Aurora donated after I showed her your page
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Dundee.
