Hi,
What are your costs in running your laundry service (power costs, soap, water, delivery, employees, etc.) and how much are you charging for your laundry services?
Is this something new in your area, or is this service already being provided?
This sounds like a great venture and I am very excited for you!

How is your laundry business going?
I know that you are still waiting for the money to buy the washing machine. What type of equipment do you use at the moment?
Is there any non-monetary support that we can offer?
Kind Regards,
Theresa

Hi Theresa, we are glad that you so concerned with our project and that you would like to know how we are moving on. Our business is still on, and at the moment we are still washing by hand and still are able to meet our customers saticefaction. Even though we meet that, we still dont have enough equipment like washing backet, brashes, storing shelves and Ironing box. This is realy affecting as interm of time keeping and even not having the capacity of holding many customers when they come to our place. We are able to have many custome if only have enough of this as well as the machine. So you can help us anywhere you feel you can meet but to us that will be of great boast to the entire group, thank you.
