Help Priscilla restart a sewing studio in Kumasi after the demolition of the market
A sewing studio in Kumasi needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after the demolition of the market.
🇬🇭 AK-034-5363, Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana1,555 views
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Kumasi. In December, the demolition of the market 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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:
• Initial stock: fabric: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.
