Start-up fund for Bello: reopening a barbershop after a storm that collapsed the roof
A barbershop in Wudil needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria1,241 views
For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Wudil. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took clippers, chairs and mirrors. 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 8 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $220
• Initial stock: supplies: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope you make a strong comeback. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hope things get better soon, Bello. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Cầu Giấy this morning. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
You're not alone, Bello. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Wudil.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Cardiff.
Stay strong, Bello. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Wudil
Hang in there, Bello. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Manchester
Sending love, Bello. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Vitória da Conquista donated after I showed her your page. Love from Vitória da Conquista.
Best of luck, Bello. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
