Badagry

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Badagry. In December, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $150 goes: • Initial stock: fabric: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Working capital for the first month: $50 Thanks for reading all this. - Kehinde

Updates from Kehinde

Quick update: $105 raised so far (70%). I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
We're at 63% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Sending good thoughts, Kehinde. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from São Paulo
