Back to business - Abena's comeback in Tamale

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Tamale. In June, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $600 goes: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $350 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $80 • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 • Working capital for the first month: $100 Glad we found this place.
