Bahir Dar
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Bahir Dar. In July, a fire in the building 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $300 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $175 • Initial stock: ingredients: $60 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Working capital for the first month: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.
