Back to business - Ayesha's comeback in Dhaka

A bicycle repair shop in Dhaka needs help replacing a full set of tools after a fire in the building.

Dhaka
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Dhaka. In April, a fire in the building took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes: • Replacing a full set of tools: $190 • Working capital for the first month: $65 • Initial stock: spare parts: $45 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ayesha

    Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          Stay strong, Ayesha. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

            Thinking of you, Ayesha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
