A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Dodoma

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.
