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.
