Help Mavis restart a sewing studio in Accra after a long illness and repossession
A sewing studio in Accra needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana904 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Accra. In February, a long illness and repossession 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 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $340
If you're reading this, thank you.
