Tema

For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Tema. In July, the demolition of the market took a commercial oven. 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 12 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 $350 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $85 • Replacing a commercial oven: $240 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
