Start-up fund for Peter: reopening a fish stall after a break-in
Peter has run a fish stall for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Nairobi. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $490
• Initial stock: the first catch: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
