Help Manoj restart a roadside café in Kathmandu after a long illness and repossession
Manoj has run a roadside café for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal474 views
For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Kathmandu. In January, a long illness and repossession took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $105
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $170
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Manoj
Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for replacing an espresso machine and grinder is now scheduled.
