Back to business - Solomon's comeback in Accra

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Accra. In December, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $390 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $95 • Working capital for the first month: $50 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
