Help Adaeze restart a tailoring shop in Wudil after a break-in
Adaeze lost three industrial sewing machines to a break-in and needs $450 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇳🇬 Wudil, Kano, Nigeria2,136 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Wudil. In July, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $290
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Adaeze
87% there. the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Thank you.
Update from Wudil: I made the first payment toward replacing three industrial sewing machines. We're at 81% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Wudil.
you're not alone, Adaeze. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours
