Back to business - Shweta's comeback in Hyderabad

Shweta has run a neighborhood bakery for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

Hyderabad
For four years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Hyderabad. In June, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $700 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $490 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $55 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Shweta
