Help Juma restart a laundry service in Kasarani after a break-in
A laundry service in Kasarani needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a break-in.
Anywhere in the world1,800 views
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Kasarani. In May, a break-in took two washing machines and a dryer. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $270
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $40
With deep gratitude,
Juma
