Back to business - Sunita's comeback in Kathmandu

Sunita lost a freezer and scales to the demolition of the market and needs $650 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

Kathmandu
For three years I have run a fish stall in Kathmandu. In January, the demolition of the market took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $650 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $370 • Initial stock: the first catch: $80 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $125 Every share and every dollar helps.

      hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Greensboro so I could bring a meal.
