For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Rajshahi. In October, a break-in took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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:
• Replacing a commercial oven: $290
• Working capital for the first month: $70
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Alamin
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 4% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. More news soon.
