Help Daniel restart a sewing studio in Lagos after a storm that collapsed the roof
Daniel lost a cutting table and overlocker to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $400 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,179 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Lagos. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. 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 3 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $175
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
