Back to business - Tesfaye's comeback in Mekelle
Tesfaye lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a fire in the building and needs $250 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇪🇹 Tigray, Ethiopia408 views
For six years I have run a barbershop in Mekelle. In August, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Initial stock: supplies: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $115
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
