Start-up fund for Mythili: reopening a tailoring shop after a fire in the building
A tailoring shop in Dwarka needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
Anywhere in the world1,265 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Dwarka. In March, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $510
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $120
I hope life is good to you.
