Help Mthunzi restart a laundry service in Stellenbosch after the demolition of the market
A laundry service in Stellenbosch needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after the demolition of the market.
🇿🇦 South Africa2,073 views
For three years I have run a laundry service in Stellenbosch. In August, the demolition of the market 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $370
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $185
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $165
If you're reading this, thank you.
