Back to business - Nour's comeback in Shubra
A barbershop in Shubra needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after the demolition of the market.
🇪🇬 Egypt1,907 views
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Shubra. In July, the demolition of the market took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($250 in total) the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you, Nour. Looking forward to the next update. Take care!
Hope things get better soon, Nour. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Shubra
