Back to business - Mazen's comeback in Dammam

Mazen has run a tailoring shop for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,200 will put it back on its feet.

Dammam
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Dammam. In July, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,200 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $260 • Working capital for the first month: $340 • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,600 Glad we found this place.
