Start-up fund for Vinh: reopening a fish stall after floodwater
A fish stall in Da Nang needs help replacing a freezer and scales after floodwater.
🇻🇳 Da Nang, Da Nang, Vietnam391 views
For six years I have run a fish stall in Da Nang. In March, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $165
• Initial stock: the first catch: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $105
With deep gratitude,
Vinh

Good news. Because of your gifts ($190 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
23% there. we've started the first stage. Thank you.
Update from Da Nang: the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
