Asaba
For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Asaba. In January, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. 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 12 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: • Working capital for the first month: $95 • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $210 • Shop repairs and licensing: $95 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Khadija
