Kikuyu

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Kikuyu. In July, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $360 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $95 • Shop repairs and licensing: $45 • Working capital for the first month: $100 Thank you for reading my story. - Nyambura
