Back to business - Ashok's comeback in Kathmandu

A neighborhood bakery in Kathmandu needs help replacing a commercial oven after the demolition of the market.

Kathmandu
For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Kathmandu. In August, the demolition of the market took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $200 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $45 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $70 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
