Start-up fund for Esther: reopening a fish stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
Esther has run a fish stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Ibadan. In September, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. 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 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $420
• Initial stock: the first catch: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Thank you for reading my story.
