Help Ifeanyi restart a barbershop in Ogbomosho after floodwater
Ifeanyi lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $350 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇳🇬 Ogbomosho, Oyo, Nigeria1,784 views
For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Ogbomosho. In July, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $160
• Initial stock: supplies: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
Thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best!
