Fatima needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Fatima lost a cutting table and overlocker to a break-in and needs $200 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria889 views
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Gwagwalada. In December, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
I hope life is good to you.
