You, for instance, don\u2019t get your morning coffee at your favorite coffee shop anymore. It\u2019s also been a while since you paid your African hair braiding stylist a visit. And your favorite African boutique hasn\u2019t also seen you for weeks now.<\/p>\n<p>I bet you are beginning to see how COVID-19 might spell doom for some of your beloved African businesses. About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/briannegarrett\/2020\/03\/20\/small-business-relief-tracker-funding-grants-and-resources-for-business-owners-grappling-with-coronavirus\/#6bcbbe22dd4c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">30 million small businesses<\/a> across the United States are in bad trouble because of the pandemic and African-owned businesses are no exemption.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 Pandemic has caused many African business owners in the US to adjust their bottom-line. Their revenues have dropped significantly. Some have even laid off some of their staff (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/04\/02\/weekly-jobless-claims.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">over 6.6 million people<\/a> are now unemployed in the USA!) while others have closed their doors altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Most business owners are optimistic that the situation is temporary rather than permanent. However, financial experts from across the globe have agreed that the COVID-19-induced financial recession will continue and probably get worse until all of the public health measures against the disease are lifted and business are allowed to resume their usual operations. We all know that it might take a while before that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, we\u2019re in the present. Our African businesses are badly hurt by the pandemic. How can you and I help our favorite small businesses survive this economic freeze.<\/p>\n<p>For one, I am sure that you\u2019re actively rooting for your favorite African food place to make a successful rebound once we make it to the other side of this global pandemic. So, here\u2019s what you can do to help them through these difficult times.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Order Takeout<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10533 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/afrikagora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/04\/0_RHHxKod5FoRBI8Fk-300x300.png\" alt=\"Oder takeout\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your fight to flatten the curve is most likely happening from the comfort and safety of your home. Your favorite African restaurant knows this and has probably changed its entire business model to delivery and take-out only.<\/p>\n<p>A simple way of keeping your favorite African restaurant in business is by ordering their delectable meals for delivery or curbside pickup. It\u2019s quite easy to order food through <a href=\"https:\/\/urbantastebud.com\/best-food-delivery-service-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">food delivery apps<\/a> or by placing your order via phone.<\/p>\n<p>The National Restaurant Association, predicts that <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurant.org\/coronavirus-recovery-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">five to seven million restaurant workers<\/a> stand to lose their jobs by June 2020. You help some of the good men and women keep their job by ordering takeout.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and if you can, don\u2019t forget to tip generously when your meal gets delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Afrikagora lists the best African restaurants near you.

A simple way would be to log onto their online store and make your purchase as you normally would at their physical shop.<\/p>\n<p>If the shop doesn\u2019t have an online store, you could reach out to them via phone or on social media. A good number of African businesses are now conducting business in online market places like Etsy, Facebook Market, and even our very own <a href=\"https:\/\/afrikagora.com\/classified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Afrikagora Marketplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Buy Gift Cards<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10531 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/afrikagora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/04\/GC-Gift-Card-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gift Card\" width=\"221\" height=\"221\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If, for one reason or another, it is impossible to transact online, you can boost the business\u2019s immediate cash flow by buying their gift card.<\/p>\n<p>When you purchase the gift card, you\u2019ll help the business now and get to use their services later down the line after we\u2019ve made it through the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Continue Paying for Services That Are Temporarily Unavailable<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10535 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/afrikagora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/04\/shutterstock_1283090563_web-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Continue paying\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You probably have services such as local gym, home cleaning or personal training services that you typically pay for on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis.
