Umar would like to grow his business by purchasing additional equipment, gain additional photo editing software and hire and train other young disabled men and women like himself in advanced photo editing techniques
This project will allow Umar to purchase new editing software, allowing him to both better serve his customers and expand his business. It will also allow him to take on new apprentices, offering young people in his community a new chance for economic success. The business will solve the following problems because of this, hire unemployed disabled youths, give his community a local photo shop to provide better and cheaper photography services for his community.
Umar's photo shop currently uses digital photography, but with a little more capital he can invest in new photo and video editing software along with a new digital camera. With this new equipment he will be able expand his business from wedding invitations and passport/government photos and move family portraits, business photography and school photos for the local university. He will hire local youths to also help solve problems of unemployment.
