Help Rita restart a small grocery stall in Tarkwa after floodwater
A small grocery stall in Tarkwa needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after floodwater.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, Ghana350 views
For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Tarkwa. In June, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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:
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $50
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $355
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Rita. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Bakersfield so I could bring a meal.
