A sewing studio in Dar es Salaam needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a fire in the building.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Dar es Salaam. In June, a fire in the building 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 1 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $235

how is Njeri doing now?
You're not alone, Njeri. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Dar es Salaam. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Best of luck, Njeri. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Dar es Salaam. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
