Nirali needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Nirali has run a tailoring shop for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Mumbai. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. 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 8 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 $600 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $105
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Nairobi.
