Salim needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Likoni needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya514 views
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Likoni. In April, 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 Sunday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Initial stock: fabric: $105
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $345
I hope life is good to you.
