Help Souad restart a tailoring shop in Mansoura after a storm that collapsed the roof
A tailoring shop in Mansoura needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇪🇬 Mansoura, Dakahlia, Egypt1,272 views
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Mansoura. In December, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $170
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Lagos
