Help Muthoni restart a street-food cart in Nairobi after a break-in
Muthoni lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a break-in and needs $500 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya909 views
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Nairobi. 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $270
Thank you so much.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Yonkers donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
