Pokhara
For six years I have run a phone repair counter in Pokhara. In April, 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 Sunday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $250 goes: โ€ข Initial stock: replacement parts: $40 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $45 โ€ข Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $165 Thank you for reading my story. - Sanjay
