Funmilayo needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
A phone repair counter in Abuja needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after floodwater.
🇳🇬 Nigeria808 views
For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Abuja. In February, floodwater took a soldering station and testing 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $140
Glad we found this place.
