A street-food cart in Mombasa needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a fire in the building.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya1,273 views
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Mombasa. In August, a fire in the building took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $420
• Initial stock: ingredients: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Byaruhanga
Small update. $90 so far, I made the first payment toward initial stock: ingredients.
Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($225). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. - Byaruhanga
