Efe needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Efe has run a fish stall for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Lagos. In August, the demolition of the market took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $130
• Initial stock: the first catch: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Efe. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Rooting for you, Efe. Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Lagos
