Help Nafula restart a sewing studio in Entebbe after a long illness and repossession

Nafula has run a sewing studio for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Entebbe. In July, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $550 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $400 • Working capital for the first month: $85 • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Sending love, Nafula. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Chiang Mai this morning. Blessings.
