Mahin needs a soldering station and testing tools to reopen a phone repair counter
Mahin has run a phone repair counter for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh565 views
For fifteen years I have run a phone repair counter in Dhaka. In August, a long illness and repossession took a soldering station and testing tools. 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 12 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $105
• Initial stock: replacement parts: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $20
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Update from Dhaka: I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month.
