Back to business - Chidinma's comeback in Gwagwalada

Chidinma has run a tailoring shop for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

Gwagwalada
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Gwagwalada. In January, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, 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: $320 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60 • Shop repairs and licensing: $50 • Working capital for the first month: $20 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Chidinma
