For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Nairobi. In February, a long illness and repossession took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $350 goes: • Initial stock: ingredients: $130 • Working capital for the first month: $65 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $155 Thanks for reading all this. - Byaruhanga

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 27 people at work. Thinking of Nairobi.
