Start-up fund for Saad: reopening a bicycle repair shop after the demolition of the market
Saad lost a full set of tools to the demolition of the market and needs $250 to reopen a bicycle repair shop and support the family.
🇵🇰 Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan454 views
For six years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Sukkur. In December, the demolition of the market took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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 $250 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Initial stock: spare parts: $85
Glad we found this place.
