Back to business - Chidinma's comeback in Badagry
Chidinma has run a tailoring shop for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Badagry. In July, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $190
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
