Start-up fund for Daniel: reopening a barbershop after a fire in the building
A barbershop in Likoni needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a fire in the building.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Likoni. In August, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $650 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $420
• Initial stock: supplies: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
