Help Jamal restart a fish stall in Giza after a fire in the building
Jamal has run a fish stall for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.
🇪🇬 Giza, Giza, Egypt892 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Giza. In July, a fire in the building took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $420
• Initial stock: the first catch: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
