A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Dodoma
Volunteers in Dodoma are raising $100 for a community fridge at the Acacia community hall.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $100.
It will serve about 262 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $100 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $30
• Permits and inspections: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.
