🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia447 views
For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Adama. In December, a fire in the building took a soldering station and testing tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 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 $150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $45
With deep gratitude,
Rahel

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Birmingham.
Thanks for sharing this, Rahel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Nuremberg so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dodoma.
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
