Help Kebede restart a street-food cart in Mekelle after a break-in
Kebede lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a break-in and needs $200 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇪🇹 Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia154 views
For six years I have run a street-food cart in Mekelle. In August, a break-in took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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: ingredients: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Thanks for reading all this.
