Help Anyango restart a roadside café in Dar es Salaam after a fire in the building
Anyango has run a roadside café for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania569 views
For three years I have run a roadside café in Dar es Salaam. In July, a fire in the building took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 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 $400 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $230
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $95
Thank you so much.
