Personal fundraiser

start a small business .

My name is Merhawit, and I am from Mekelle, Ethiopia. I am raising 600,000 Ethiopian Birr to help me rebuild my life and start a small business that can provide me with a stable and sustainable source of income. I have been going through a difficult situation, and starting over has not been easy. However, I do not want to give up. I want to work hard, become financially independent, and build a better future for myself. My plan is to start the business on a small scale and gradually grow it. The funds will be used for the essential costs of getting started, including equipment, materials and supplies, transportation, and other necessary business expenses. I will manage the money carefully and use it primarily to establish the business and begin generating income. As the business starts earning money, I plan to reinvest part of the income into the business so that it can continue to grow and become more sustainable. For me, this is more than simply asking for financial assistance. It is an opportunity to start again and create a livelihood through my own hard work. My goal is to become self-reliant, support myself, and build a more secure future. Every contribution toward the 600,000 Ethiopian Birr goal, no matter how small, can help me move one step closer to that goal. If you are unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser with others would also mean a great deal to me. Thank you sincerely for reading my story, supporting my dream, and giving me hope for a better future.
