Help Chidinma restart a tailoring shop in Ibadan after a storm that collapsed the roof
A tailoring shop in Ibadan needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria933 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Ibadan. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 three industrial sewing machines: $430
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
