Rajeshwari needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Madurai needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India752 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Madurai. In November, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. 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 6 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Initial stock: fabric: $120
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $250
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Dhaka.
