Help Nasrin restart a phone repair counter in Dhaka after a fire in the building

Nasrin has run a phone repair counter for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

Dhaka
For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Dhaka. In January, a fire in the building took a soldering station and testing tools. 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 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 $450 goes: • Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $250 • Initial stock: replacement parts: $70 • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 • Working capital for the first month: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
