Start-up fund for Muthoni: reopening a phone repair counter after a fire in the building
Muthoni has run a phone repair counter for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.
Updates from Muthoni
Thank you all. We're at 61% now ($457). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
