Henry needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
A barbershop in Tarkwa needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a break-in.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, Ghana1,312 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Tarkwa. In August, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $175
• Initial stock: supplies: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

So sorry you're going through this, Henry. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
