Help Dedi restart a small grocery stall in Jakarta after a long illness and repossession
Dedi has run a small grocery stall for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia402 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Jakarta. In July, a long illness and repossession took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
