Back to business - Yodit's comeback in Adama
A neighborhood bakery in Adama needs help replacing a commercial oven after floodwater.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia1,020 views
For twelve years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Adama. In April, floodwater took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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:
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Yodit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
sending love. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Juazeiro do Norte.
keep going, Yodit. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Jaffna but we're thinking of you.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning

Thanks for sharing this, Yodit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Hang in there, Yodit. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Arlington.

Sending strength, Yodit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
