Start-up fund for Juliet: reopening a small grocery stall after a long illness and repossession
A small grocery stall in Kano needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a long illness and repossession.
🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, Nigeria1,529 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Kano. In February, a long illness and repossession took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
