Start-up fund for Anisur: reopening a phone repair counter after the demolition of the market
A phone repair counter in Kota needs help replacing a soldering station and testing tools after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇳 Kota, Rajasthan, India1,176 views
For four years I have run a phone repair counter in Kota. In February, the demolition of the market 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Replacing a soldering station and testing tools: $200
I hope life is good to you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Anisur?
Thank you. If you're in Kota I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope it all works out, Anisur. Your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Aberdeen!
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Kota
thinking of you and your family, Anisur. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Kota.
