Rita needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Rita lost a commercial oven to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $450 to reopen a neighborhood bakery and support the family.
🇬🇭 AK-539-4026, Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana794 views
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kumasi. In January, a storm that collapsed the roof took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 commercial oven: $290
• Working capital for the first month: $85
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you the best, Rita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace, Rita. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Kumasi!
stay strong, Rita. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
