Help Sangita restart a fish stall in Pokhara after floodwater
A fish stall in Pokhara needs help replacing a freezer and scales after floodwater.
Anywhere in the world837 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Pokhara. In July, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $175
• Initial stock: the first catch: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
