Back to business - Ngozika's comeback in Nnewi
Ngozika has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria769 views
For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Nnewi. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 1 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 $250 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
Thank you for reading my story.
