Back to business - Lipi's comeback in Savar
Lipi has run a phone repair counter for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $150 will put it back on its feet.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh927 views
For three years I have run a phone repair counter in Savar. In June, the demolition of the market took a soldering station and testing tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $25

Thanks for sharing this, Lipi. Hope you get there. Don't give up.
Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Berlin
Thanks for sharing this, Lipi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Savar.
Thanks for sharing this, Lipi. Small businesses are the heart of Savar. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
