Help Onyango restart a flower stall in Dar es Salaam after floodwater

Onyango has run a flower stall for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

Dar es Salaam
For nine years I have run a flower stall in Dar es Salaam. In January, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $300 goes: • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $115 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $145 With deep gratitude, Onyango
