Kabita needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery

Kabita has run a neighborhood bakery for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

Butwal

For six years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Butwal. In August, a long illness and repossession took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $350 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $150 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $75 • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Working capital for the first month: $90 Thank you for reading my story.
