Start-up fund for Anitha: reopening a barbershop after a fire in the building
Anitha has run a barbershop for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Dwarka. In February, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $230
• Initial stock: supplies: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Glad we found this place.
