Start-up fund for Irfan: reopening a roadside café after floodwater
Irfan has run a roadside café for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇰 Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan886 views
For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Gujranwala. In July, floodwater took an espresso machine and grinder. 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
