Help Ikenna restart a phone repair counter in Nsukka after a long illness and repossession
Ikenna has run a phone repair counter for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Nsukka. In July, a long illness and repossession took a soldering station and testing tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $390
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Ikenna. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Accra but we're thinking of you. Love from Accra.
