Back to business - Wafula's comeback in Naivasha
A bicycle repair shop in Naivasha needs help replacing a full set of tools after a fire in the building.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, KenyaPosted Oct 1, 20261,574 views
For nine years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Naivasha. In September, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $410
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $125
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Any update on how things are going in Naivasha?
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Scranton this morning. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wafula?
Thank you. If you're in Naivasha I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Wafula. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Naivasha!
Stay strong, Wafula. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Bacolod.
