Start-up fund for Zoya: reopening a barbershop after a storm that collapsed the roof
Zoya lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $350 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan990 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Rawalpindi. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $190
• Initial stock: supplies: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
