Tsion needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Tsion has run a barbershop for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Addis Ababa. In April, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $300
• Initial stock: supplies: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Addis Ababa!
Thinking of you, Tsion. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up
