Back to business - Waweru's comeback in Mukono
Waweru has run a street-food cart for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $150 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Mukono. In March, the demolition of the market took a gas stove and two refrigerators. 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Initial stock: ingredients: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope this works out for you. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Abuja.
