Help Iqra restart a sewing studio in Faisalabad after floodwater
Iqra lost a cutting table and overlocker to floodwater and needs $150 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan258 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Faisalabad. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Initial stock: fabric: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
