Help Efe restart a small grocery stall in Zaria after a storm that collapsed the roof
Efe lost a cold-storage unit to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $200 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.
🇳🇬 Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria817 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Zaria. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 10 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 $200 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Glad we found this place.

sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Zaria!
Best of luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted
