Let's help get Kobby back on the road
Donation protected
Balance plus £2,000 match funding secured.
Hi, I'm Fiona and I'm helping Kobby with his Crowdfunder. Kobby is my former colleague, who always looked out for me when I was living in Ghana. Kobby is an outstanding dad of 3 and loving husband...he lives for his family. Through no fault of his own, Kobby was made redundant from the NGO we worked at during Covid in 2020. Since then, he's been doing odd jobs to make a living, prioritising education fees for the children.
Times have been tough, especially now with inflation in Ghana hitting 100% in the last year!
Kobby misses being on the road...and how he entertains! Kobby's love of music and vehicles brings a joy like no other, and a taxi business provides a sustainable income source!
Let's raise £6,000 so Kobby can buy a vehicle and set up his very own taxi firm. Taxis are a reliable form of transport in Ghana, but market entry costs are high!
If we don't raise sufficient funds, Kobby will create an alternative business, following another passion...electricals and bicycles. He will set up a market stall, providing customers with access to affordable technical goods, and providing maintenance bicycle services.
