Rita needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
A roadside café in Biratnagar needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after the demolition of the market.
🇳🇵 Biratnagar, Koshi, Nepal1,046 views
For four years I have run a roadside café in Biratnagar. In December, the demolition of the market took an espresso machine and grinder. 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 7 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $155
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
