For six years I have run a sewing studio in Asaba. In August, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $260
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $65

thinking of you and your family, Danjuma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Asaba.
hope things get better soon, Danjuma. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. Greetings from Iztapalapa
