Puja needs a full set of tools to reopen a bicycle repair shop
Puja has run a bicycle repair shop for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Butwal. In November, a break-in took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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 $400 goes:
• Initial stock: spare parts: $90
• Replacing a full set of tools: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.
