Start-up fund for Yasir: reopening a tailoring shop after the demolition of the market
A tailoring shop in Sukkur needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.
🇵🇰 Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan222 views
For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Sukkur. In November, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $195
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Keep going, Yasir. Your post was clear and honest.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Sukkur.
