Back to business - Joseph's comeback in Madina
Joseph lost three industrial sewing machines to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $600 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Madina. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. 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 3 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $360
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Thank you so much.
