Help Januka restart a sewing studio in Kathmandu after a storm that collapsed the roof
A sewing studio in Kathmandu needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal2,086 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Kathmandu. In June, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Initial stock: fabric: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Januka. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless!
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
