Usman needs a commercial oven to reopen a neighborhood bakery
Usman has run a neighborhood bakery for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a neighborhood bakery in Lahore. In January, a long illness and repossession took a commercial oven. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Replacing a commercial oven: $155
• Initial stock: flour, butter and sugar: $50
Glad we found this place.
