Help Waweru restart a tailoring shop in Kampala after a long illness and repossession
Waweru has run a tailoring shop for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.
Updates from Waweru
Good news. Because of your gifts ($356 in total) the plan for replacing three industrial sewing machines is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Waweru
Thank you all. We're at 71% now ($356). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward replacing three industrial sewing machines.
Update from Kampala: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Kampala.
How is Waweru doing now?
Sending love, Waweru. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck, Waweru. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Medellín
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Barcelona.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Waweru
Sure. The biggest one is replacing three industrial sewing machines, $350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Kampala. Hope you're open again soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kampala
