Back to business - Yodit's comeback in Bahir Dar
Yodit has run a flower stall for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $150 will put it back on its feet.
🇪🇹 Bahir Dar, Amhara, Ethiopia1,710 views
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Bahir Dar. In October, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $150 goes:
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $35
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Yodit?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: seasonal flowers, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
take care, Yodit. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Fort Worth.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page. Love from Leicester.
