Trying to re-open Nisa, providing jobs for migrants and refugees

From Morning Report, 8:47 am on 9 August 2023

Former staff members of a Wellington clothing brand that created jobs for women migrants and refugees, are trying to reopen the business.

Nisa is an ethical brand manufacturing underwear and swimwear, and it was forced to close last month.

But former staff members have pulled together to launch a Pledge Me fund, hoping to reopen the workshop and continue supporting the women who worked there.
