A sewing studio in Karachi needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.
🇵🇰 Sindh, Pakistan1,435 views
For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Karachi. In June, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $250
• Initial stock: fabric: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Glad we found this place.

rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Karachi
is there anything that isn't money that would help Zainab?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cutting table and overlocker, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Salem but we're thinking of you.
Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Comilla.
Good luck, Zainab. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
