Start-up fund for Kamran: reopening a barbershop after the demolition of the market
Kamran has run a barbershop for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Multan. In June, the demolition of the market 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 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: supplies: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
