Embakasi

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Embakasi. In December, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. 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 6 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 $400 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $210 • Initial stock: fabric: $100 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Muthoni
