For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Nairobi. In December, the demolition of the market took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $700 goes: โ€ข Replacing a full set of tools: $480 โ€ข Initial stock: spare parts: $75 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $55 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $90 If you're reading this, thank you. - Musyoka
