Help Ifeanyi restart a sewing studio in Port Harcourt after floodwater
Ifeanyi has run a sewing studio for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria236 views
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Port Harcourt. In September, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $400 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $100
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $240
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Ifeanyi. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Santa Fe but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
