Help Raymond restart a sewing studio in Madina after floodwater
Raymond has run a sewing studio for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.
🇬🇭 Madina, Greater Accra, Ghana684 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Madina. In May, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 cutting table and overlocker: $185
• Initial stock: fabric: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.

Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Salvador.
take care. Hope you get there. Thinking of Madina
Praying for you, Raymond. Looking forward to the next update.
Thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Nakuru donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
