Fatima needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Fatima has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria277 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Abuja. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 full set of tools: $120
• Initial stock: spare parts: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $40
With deep gratitude,
Fatima

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Miami.
