Help Kevin restart a bicycle repair shop in Entebbe after a break-in
A bicycle repair shop in Entebbe needs help replacing a full set of tools after a break-in.
🇺🇬 Uganda914 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Entebbe. In July, a break-in took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Initial stock: spare parts: $80
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Kevin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
