Njeri needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Njeri has run a bicycle repair shop for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Kampala. In August, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: spare parts: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Kampala. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
