For three years I have run a street-food cart in Mombasa. In December, floodwater 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $190
• Initial stock: ingredients: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Thanks for reading all this.
