Back to business - Raju's comeback in Butwal
Raju has run a sewing studio for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇵 Butwal, Lumbini, Nepal1,952 views
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Butwal. In May, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $600 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $440
Every share and every dollar helps.

hope things get better soon, Raju. Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Stellenbosch but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Raju?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: fabric, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Best of luck, Raju. Shared this with my family. Love from Cape Coast.
You're not alone, Raju. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
