Adam Joseph is a leather craftsman who makes bags, footwear, hats, bullet proof vests, belts, camera straps, and more. He provides professional footwear cobbling and repair of leather machines. His current customers are professionals and business persons, secondary/university students who are middle income/rich living in Eastern Nigeria. They are travelers and fashion lovers who like quality and value he provides. He frequently gets large orders (for 1,000+ pieces) that he cannot accept because they require industrial machines. If he is privileged to receive a grant, he will purchase industrial sewing machines that will allow him to make bags 6 times faster and more professionally. This will increase his income by at least 600% as he takes larger orders from retailers who already buy from him. He seeks a $1,000 grant for purchase of industrial sewing machines. Adam lives in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
