Help Beatrice restart a barbershop in Likoni after a fire in the building
Beatrice has run a barbershop for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya701 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in Likoni. In March, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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:
• Initial stock: supplies: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $410
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Manukau this morning. God bless.
Take care, Beatrice. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Take care
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Stellenbosch
