Okello needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
A fish stall in Likoni needs help replacing a freezer and scales after floodwater.
🇰🇪 Kenya2,126 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Likoni. In April, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: the first catch: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Thank you so much.
