Start-up fund for Taslima: reopening a roadside café after a fire in the building
Taslima has run a roadside café for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.
🇧🇩 Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh675 views
For six years I have run a roadside café in Savar. In July, a fire in the building took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $190
