Kasarani
For nine years I have run a roadside café in Kasarani. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $600 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $370 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $50 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $105 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Thinking of you, Auma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
