Help Kalyani restart a sewing studio in Rohini after the demolition of the market
Kalyani has run a sewing studio for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Rohini. In August, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $150
• Initial stock: fabric: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Addis Ababa.
