Start-up fund for Sachini: reopening a street-food cart after the demolition of the market
Sachini has run a street-food cart for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Colombo. In September, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $250 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Sachini doing now?
Take care, Sachini. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Sachini. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
keep going, Sachini. Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted
