Start-up fund for Geeta: reopening a fish stall after a break-in
A fish stall in Chennai needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India1,507 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Chennai. In January, a break-in took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Initial stock: the first catch: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.
