Help Tanvir restart a roadside café in Dhaka after a fire in the building
A roadside café in Dhaka needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a fire in the building.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh317 views
For nine years I have run a roadside café in Dhaka. In August, a fire in the building took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $200 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
