Help Zeeshan restart a roadside café in Mardan after the demolition of the market
Zeeshan has run a roadside café for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇰 Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan536 views
For four years I have run a roadside café in Mardan. In February, the demolition of the market took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
