Start-up fund for Peace: reopening a street-food cart after the demolition of the market
A street-food cart in Nnewi needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after the demolition of the market.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,306 views
For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Nnewi. In June, the demolition of the market took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $160
• Initial stock: ingredients: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.
