Butwal
For three years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Butwal. In May, a fire in the building took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a commercial oven: $400 • Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 • Working capital for the first month: $65 Thank you so much. - Rekha

    Hope things get better soon, Rekha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Bacoor so I could bring a meal.
