Back to business - Moumita's comeback in Savar

Moumita has run a roadside café for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

Savar

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Savar. In April, a long illness and repossession took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $300 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $100 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 • Working capital for the first month: $50 If you're reading this, thank you.
