Auma needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Auma has run a tailoring shop for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Jinja. In September, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $340
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Auma. Looking forward to the next update.
